The ceremony has only recently been renamed the Princess of Asturias Awards; since for nearly 35 years they were hosted by the then Prince of Asturias, Leonor's dad King Felipe VI.
Princess Leonor – known for sharing style with her glamorous mother, Queen Letizia – is one of the new generation of Europe's pint-sized future queens, which also include Princess Amalia of the Netherlands, Princess Ingrid of Norway, Princess Elisabeth of Belgium and Princess Estelle of Sweden.
