Princess Leonor's Divided Nation Allegiance: Spain's 18th Birthday Oath

Princess Leonor of Spain, the heir to the throne, swore allegiance to the constitution on her 18th birthday, marking her coming of age and potential future as queen. However, the ceremony was marred by boycotts from leftist and separatist politicians, highlighting divisions over the monarchy. While most cabinet ministers and regional leaders attended, the acting ministers from the left-wing coalition partner Unidas Podemos and lawmakers advocating for independence stayed away, criticizing the undemocratic nature of an hereditary and unelected head of state. Public opinion in Spain is divided, with a 2022 poll showing a slight majority in favor of becoming a republic. Former King Juan Carlos, who left Spain in 2020 amid financial investigations, did not attend the ceremony.

Queen Sofia's Emotional Absence at Granddaughter's Historic Event

Queen Sofia of Spain broke down in tears during a speech at an event in Madrid, amid reports that she has not been invited to her granddaughter Princess Leonor's swearing-in ceremony at Congress. The 84-year-old queen's emotional outburst comes as the palace tries to avoid controversy surrounding her husband, former King Juan Carlos I. While neither Juan Carlos nor Sofia will attend the public engagements, they are expected to be present at the private family celebrations. Juan Carlos has faced scandals in recent years, including a £126 million High Court battle with his Danish ex-lover. Princess Leonor, who turns 18 on October 31, will swear allegiance to the Spanish constitution as she prepares for her future role as queen.
