Princess Leonor has confirmed she's passed her driving test as she was pictured behind the wheel of a car for the very first time.
The future queen, 18, was accompanied by her sister, Infanta Sofia, 17, her mother Queen Letizia, 51, and her grandmother, Queen Sofia, 85, as the Spanish royals enjoyed a girls' outing in Palma de Mallorca on Tuesday.
Leonor looked calm and confident as she drove her family members around the city after they enjoyed a sightseeing tour.
Infanta Sofia beamed in the passenger seat beside her big sister, while Queen Letizia and Queen Sofia waved from the back seats.
HELLO!'s sister publication HOLA! reported in February that Leonor was learning to drive, as it's compulsory in the army, which she is currently undergoing her military training.

Infanta Sofia, who is currently on summer break from her studies at UWC Atlantic College, kept her cool in a black cropped T-Shirt and a white broderie midi skirt.

The Spanish royals traditionally take their annual summer break in Mallorca, but they have also shown their support at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

While King Felipe briefly joined his mother, wife and daughters in Mallorca on their summer holiday, he has since returned to Paris to continue to support Spain in the Games.

Cameras captured the rollercoaster of emotions the royals went through as the Dutch side won gold.
The Dutch and Spanish royals share a particularly close friendship, as Princess Catharina-Amalia continued her studies in Madrid when kidnap threats forced to leave her student accommodation at the University of Amsterdam in 2022.
