The young Princess of Asturias, who will receive 3 years of military training like her father, is the number one heir to the throne in Spain if her parents do not have a son. In the country, male heirs are still ahead of women on the throne.

Princess Leonor, who trained to be queen since she was little, received a standing ovation in 2019 for her speech in Spanish, Catalan, English and Arabic. Princess, interested in tennis and sports, also plays the cello.

Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands

Catharina-Amalia, daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, recently turned 19. The princess, who has two younger sisters, Alexia and Ariane, became the first heir to the “queen-to-be” when her grandmother, Queen Beatrix, abdicated in 2013.

Catharina-Amalia, who spent her childhood in seclusion near The Hague, suddenly drew all the attention when her father ascended the throne. When the princess turned 18, she rejected the annual allowance of 1.6 million euros to which she was entitled.

The young princess began studying politics and economics at the University of Amsterdam last year, but had to leave her home with her friends and return to the palace for security reasons. In her statements to the press, Catharina-Amalia said that she wanted a normal student life like other teenagers.

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium

The 21-year-old daughter of King Philip and Queen Mathilda graduated from Atlantic College in Wales.
