SPANISH royal, 18-year-old Princess Leonor, was spotted driving through the streets of Palma last week without displaying the ‘L’ Plate legally required for new drivers. Leonor, the daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, was on holiday with her mother, grandmother and sister, and took control of the wheel of the family’s Seat Ateca, having only recently gained her driving licence, which she needs for her military training in Zaragoza. Despite her royal status, the princess is not immune to the law and she will now face a fine of up to €100 for failing to adhere to regulations and forgetting to display the important ‘L’ Plate. However, she will not have any points deducted from her driving licence. Princess Leonor was granted the full title of heir to the Spanish crown following her father’s

ascension to the throne in 2014 and was formally proclaimed heir presumptive on her 18th birthday. She studied for an International Baccalaureate at UWC Atlantic College in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wa-
les, before beginning her military training in August last year. She is set to become the first female monarch since Isabella II, her fourth great-grandmother, who reigned between 1833 and 1868.
THE National Police has called in six more German officers to work in the Playa de Palma until the end of the season, with the aim of creating a stronger security system and improving public safety. The operation, which usually begins in July, has been delayed this year due to the Paris Olympic Games and the European Championships, aims both to reduce crime and encourage socially acceptable behaviour. The scheme has proven in the past to be an effective way of reinforcing good behaviour amongst tourists who, when enjoying their holiday in Mallorca, can lose their inhibitions a little too much and behave in ways they would not when back in their homeland. Seeing the uniform of their own national police serves to remind the tourists of their morals and also creates a feeling of security, with the knowledge that they will be able to communicate effectively if needed.

NORMAN REEDUS, star of ‘The Walking Dead’, is spending some time in Mallorca before filming starts for the long awaited third season of popular show Daryl Dixon, which will be filmed in various locations across Spain. The famous actor was out and about over the weekend, and enjoyed dinner with his family at Palma based restaurant Sandro’s on Saturday evening. The restaurant has a history of celebrity diners, including Morgan Freeman and King Felipe VI, and as a consequence has been well publicised on TV shows and in the press. Following Reedus’ visit, the restaurant posted a photo on Facebook, saying how delighted they were to have had the company of Reedus and his family and to share with them their passion for good food.
