Princess Leonor begins her studies in Political Science at Carlos III University
Princess Leonor started her first day at Carlos III University today, where she will study Political Science.

Princess Leonor has begun her studies in Political Science at Carlos III University in Madrid, located in Getafe, on September 7, 2026. The heir to the throne is integrating into university life like any other student, facing the same subjects, exams, and professors as her peers, although there are some differences.
At 9 am, the young princess arrived at the university amidst great anticipation, coinciding with students returning from their summer break. It was noted that Leonor is one of the older students in her class, as most students begin their university studies the year after finishing high school.
The Princess has expressed great excitement for this new chapter in her life, maintaining a relaxed look with her hair tied back. Images of her arrival have circulated in the media, capturing the moment of her first day on campus.

The students starting their classes today reflected a mix of confidence and nerves typical of those facing a new academic beginning. Like her peers, the Princess had to adapt to a new environment full of challenges and opportunities. Thus, the university experience will provide Leonor with a broader perspective on her future role in society.
It has been reported that throughout her studies at Carlos III University, Princess Leonor will continue to fulfill her institutional commitments. This suggests that her academic life will intertwine with her responsibilities as a future monarch, though details on how this compatibility will work have not been provided.
This commencement of the academic year represents a significant step in the life of the Princess, marking the beginning of her adult life and her academic training at one of the most recognized universities in the country.
