Princess Leonor's Military Studies

[Prinsara]

I hope she has the time of her life. It is unique, she can be herself just among classmates, no cameras, not under the guiding supervision of the parents. Wont happen too often in her future.

All of which she did in Wales as well. Seems to have been most beneficial for her.

Princess Leonor will officially arrive -along with the rest of the crew- in Salvador de Bahía (Brazil) on 14 February at 08:00 local time. She will remain there until 19 February. At 08:45 there will be a meeting between the ship's Commander and the media on deck. Afterwards, the Spanish Ambassador to Brazil will be received on board with the appropriate honours.

Salvador da Bahia is a particularly dangerous city (in fact, one of the most violent cities in Brazil). I hope the Princess takes the necessary precautions and doesn't wander around without security.

I somehow doubt that the Princess will be wandering anywhere in Spain or abroad and will have the adequate security too!

Whenever Leonor arrives ashore, she will have security to accompany her.

They will arrive tomorrow at 8 in the morning and will be welcomed to the sound of batucada by a group of female percussionists from a school linked to Carlinhos Brown and by the Spanish ambassador to Brazil, Mar Fernández-Palacios.

The ambassador, the prefect of Salvador de Bahia and the governor of the state are then expected to board the ship for lunch with the commander of the 'Juan Sebastián Elcano', Captain Luis Carreras-Presas do Campo. The day will conclude with a reception on board.

During the visit, which will last until February 19, a tourist visit to the city is planned, as well as a floral offering to the fallen of both Armed Forces and a formal ceremony of delivery to the Brazilian Navy by the Spanish Navy of the restored copy of the painting 'Siege and enterprise of Salvador de Bahía'.

In addition, the Cultural Department of the Embassy together with the Instituto Cervantes and the Geographic and Historical Institute of Bahia have organized a history seminar under the title 'Salvador de Bahía and its siege and enterprise of 1625'. A representation of officers from the Juan Sebastián de Elcano will attend the seminar.

The stopover in Salvador de Bahía this year is on the occasion of the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the recovery of this city from the Dutch by a combined Spanish-Portuguese fleet commanded by Admiral Don Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo.

Please note that the correct name in Portuguese is "Salvador da Bahia", rather than "de Bahia", although, inside Brazil, the city is now referred to only as "Salvador".

The 1624 invasion of Bahia was actually a Dutch attempt to get a foothold in Brazil. At that time, the Crowns of Spain and Portugal were united in personal union in the so-called Iberian Union. Salvador was recaptured by a joint Spanish-Portuguese fleet in 1625, but the Dutch returned later, this time to the Captaincy of Pernambuco (further north) in 1630 and actually occupied most of the Northeastern coast of Brazil until the recapture of Recife in 1654. By the time the Dutch occupation ended, Portugal had already pulled out of the Iberian Union under King João IV, founder of the Braganza dynasty ("Bragança" in Portuguese spelling).

…she’s on a ship doing manual labor. They are pretty clearly from ropes or other equipment and not human-made. Leonor is not a delicate piece of china. I’m sure she’s all right.

I saw, she did climb a mast and was into the sails! This is very dangerous! I wonder, if they have today some kind of security line. But still!

In Germany we have the "Gorch Fock", the school ship of the navy. A female fell to her death from great height while exercising - in a harbor, no wind...

Our Spanish Princess is very brave! And she volunteered! Could have easily said "No".

 

[Somebody]

Our Spanish Princess is very brave! And she volunteered! Could have easily said "No".

What makes you think she could easily have said 'no'? I don't think she realistically had the option to refuse doing this 3-year military stint.

 

[victor1319]

What makes you think she could easily have said 'no'?

I meant the climbing into the sails thingy. She did that! Very brave!

That she has to do military service - Of course! She is going to be the Monarch of Spain!

 

[Somebody]

I meant the climbing into the sails thingy. She did that! Very brave!

That she has to do military service - Of course! She is going to be the Monarch of Spain!

I see. I still think that she cannot 'easily say no' to a regular part of her navy training. All her classmates are expected to do exactly the same thing; so, of course, she is expected to do likewise.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

What message would it send if the future Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Armed Forces refused to climb the mast.

 

[victor1319]

What message would it send if the future Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Armed Forces refused to climb the mast.

Well, we would not know, right? There are not many Royals pictured in such dangerous circumstances and nobody is calling them names, because the press is not making a problem out of this.

Well, anyway... At least I am outmost impressed by the Crown Princess. Beauty, brains and braveness. She is really cool and admirable!

 

[Blog Real]

What message would it send if the future Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Armed Forces refused to climb the mast.

Honestly, I think that the Spanish press, at least the most serious ones, would not criticize her. And she could have a phobia of heights, for example, and not be able to do that. Fortunately, he succeeded and is doing well in his military training.
