On the occasion of the proclamation of HM King Felipe VI and the succession to the title of Prince of Asturias.

Following the proclamation of HM King Felipe VI and the succession of HRH Princess Leonor de Borbón y Ortiz, Heir to the Crown of Spain, to the title of Prince or Princess of Asturias, the Prince of Asturias Foundation and Awards will now be respectively called the Princess of Asturias Foundation and the Princess of Asturias Awards.
