According to Spanish law, Leonor will officially assume the throne when her father, King Felipe VI, abdicates or dies. If Leonor ascends the throne, she will be Spain’s first “queen regnant” (queen ruling in her own right), who is not the wife of a king but is born into a royal family.
The last time a queen was made in Spain was in 1800.
Spain’s last queen 150 years ago was Isabella II, who ruled from 1833-1868. Then she was exiled to France. Since then no woman in Spain has become queen in her own right. Spain’s monarchy has traditionally been male-dominated, but the 1978 Constitution abolished gender discrimination, making it significant. After Isabella, her son had daughters, but due to it being male-dominated, no heir could reach the throne.
