Princess Leonor: The special meaning behind her new necklace

Princess Leonor
This is the meaning behind her new 18th birthday necklace

The future of the monarchy is female! And pretty stylish on the go. Princess Leonor of Spain will celebrate her 18th birthday on October 31, 2023. A big day for the Spaniard, which will be closely scrutinized not only politically but also fashionably. But Leonor shouldn’t disappoint: on her first appearance as an adult heir to the throne in Madrid, she wears a particularly elegant pants suit. For the Crown Princess’s oath of loyalty to the constitution in the House of Representatives, she chooses an ensemble in white and proves that she is more self-confident than the year before and also demonstrates this in fashion.

Princess Leonor: Her white two-piece suit comes from the same tailor as Felipe’s wedding suit

October 31, 2023 is a meaningful date for Princess Leonor. Not only because she celebrates her coming of age on this day, but also because on this day, as in the Magna Carta, will be sworn in as the future heir to the throne in the House of Representatives in Madrid. An emotional and very special moment for the Princess of Asturias, who has chosen a look that will undoubtedly go down in history. The young Spanish woman opts for a white design, consisting of a slightly tailored blazer with classic lapels and matching, flowing trousers. This outfit is not only elegant but also comes with a sweet homage. The two-piece suit comes from Sastrería Serna, a tailor from Madrid who also made Felipe’s wedding uniform, as the company confirmed to the Spanish magazine Vanitatis.

The eldest daughter of King Felipe, 55, and Queen Letizia, 51, white pointe shoes from the Spanish brand Lodi. The side-open pumps with a medium-high square heel are particularly impressive with a silver glittering strap that sparkles in the light of the House of Representatives when the princess takes some of her steps. Leonor wears the Golden Fleece, which she received from her father in January 2018, attached to her left lapel.

Leonor’s 18th birthday makeup look: Simple but royal

The 18-year-old painted her lips in a delicate raspberry tone. Similar to mom Letizia and sister Sofía, 16, who also take part in the swearing-in ceremony in Madrid, Leonor wears blush in soft pink. Leonor had her hair tied into a low ponytail. Charming because it really shows off your earrings.

These come from Gold&Roses, a favorite label of Letizia. The pieces of jewelry made of 18-carat rose gold, blued white gold and precious stones are also decorated with a tanzanite and are said to cost around 1,500 euros. The meaning behind it: “The stone symbolizes the desire of our generation: to live every moment intensely as if it would never end,” the jewelry label told the Spanish magazine Hola.

For her birthday, Leonor receives a new necklace with a special meaning

A little later, another new piece of jewelry adorns Leonor’s birthday look: a necklace with the royal and prestigious Spanish Order of Carlos III. This is awarded to the heir to the throne by the reigning king after the swearing-in ceremony in the Palace of Madrid and is a real rarity. The solid piece of gold is not only decorated with the highest order of knighthood in Spain and consists of five degrees, but in addition to the royal family, it can only be worn by 25 other Spanish citizens. These include heads of state and government as well as citizens who have held the rank of Grand Cross for at least three years.

She also seems to be fully aware of the honor that Leonor receives by wearing the new necklace: the 18-year-old smiles proudly into the camera of the photographers who are capturing the special moment and has her long ponytail again after putting it on prepared by mom and dad. This is how the jewelry really comes into its own.
