Leonóra prinsessa, eða Elenóra eins og nafnið er á íslensku er dóttir Felipe krónprins og Letiziu krónprinsessu, fæddist þann 31. október 2005
The Infanta Leonor of Spain (Leonor de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Ortiz, in English: Eleanor), born 31 October 2005, in Madrid, is the first and only child of Felipe, the Prince of Asturias and his wife Princess Letizia, and thus second in the succession line to the Spanish throne after her father. She is styled as HRH The Infanta Leonor of Spain
Her birth will probably lead to a revision of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 to abolish the precedence of male heirs over their older sisters. In this case, she could become heir apparent when her father is king, and in all likelihood will become Queen Leonor of Spain.
She was born at 1:46am in the Ruber International Clinic in Madrid by means of a caesarean section necessitated by non-progression of labour. Infanta Leonor weighed 3.5 kg and was 47 cm long. Her birth was announced by the Royal Family to the press via SMS. Leonor left the Ruber Clinic with her parents on 7 November 2005.
The Infanta was baptised in the royal palace by the Archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela, on 14 January 2006. Like her father in 1968, Leonor was baptised with water from the river Jordan, following the Spanish Royal Family tradition. She was also given the additional names of de Todos los Santos, a Borbon tradition. Her godparents were her grandparents, Their Majesties King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia of Spain.
