Spain's Princess Leonor comes of age in boost for monarchy | AFP

Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish crown, swears loyalty to the constitution  on her 18th birthday, a legal milestone that royal watchers hope will turn the page for the monarchy after several years marred by scandal. Her parents, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, and younger sister Sofia watched on as Leonor took the oath before a joint session of both houses of parliament. When she ascends to the throne, Leonor will become Spain's third full-fledged queen (instead of a queen consort), following Joanna of Castile in the 16th century and Isabella II in the 19th century.
