IN PHOTOS: Princess of Asturias trains for parachute jumps

The Princess of Asturias has been training to perform parachute jumps.

The Princess completed the Basic Parachuting Course at the Méndez Parada Military Parachuting School, located at the Alcantarilla Air Base (Murcia). This is in addition to the military training she receives at the General Air and Space Academy (AGA).

Along with 50 fellow students from the AGA, Leonor trained to perform automatic parachute jumps. This is the same training that is conducted by members of the parachute-capable units of the Air Force and Space, as well as the Army, Navy, and Civil Guard.

The Princess and the other students received their accreditation diplomas and Paratrooper Hunter badges after completing the training program.

After completing her military training, the Princess will attend the Carlos III University of Madrid to pursue a degree in Political Science.
