So far, only Elisabeth, Catharina-Amalia and Ingrid Alexandra have been officially confirmed as members of the royal WhatsApp group.

The 20-year-old is currently completing military training in Spain and is also considered one of Europe's most important future queens. Whether she actually chats remains a royal secret. Queen Letizia of Spain (53) is considered a very strict mother, which, according to aristocratic experts, could mean that Leonor may be less well connected than the other three princesses.
