The Princess of Asturias has had an active role in the parade on the occasion of October 12. The daughter of the Kings arrived at the military parade in the dress uniform of the Army and took her place in the royal gallery, to the right of her father. It was not planned, but in the tribute to those who died in Spain, at the beginning of the parade, after singing along with the rest of the soldiers ‘Death is not the end’, Doña Leonor accompanied her father to place the laurel wreath .
With a temperate step, the Princess of Asturias has walked alongside King Felipe VI. Together they stood before the national flag and, standing at attention, listened to the response and with respect and solemnity followed the prayer tone.
