Along with their parents, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, Leonor, 14 and Sofía, 13 were greeted by residents in Palma's Son Roca neighbourhood with resounding applause, cheers, whistling and flag-flying before they headed the the Naüm Project centre.
Once there, the youngsters spent some time chatting to the Royals, especially Leonor and Sofía, and asking them questions.
And one of the questions, addressed to Princess Leonor by a little girl, was: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
It was Leonor's mother, Queen Letizia, who answered on her daughter's behalf, though.
“It's what she has to be when she grows up, not what she wants to be,” said the reigning monarch's wife.
The little girl, identified as Peinda Sibide, is reported as saying Princess Leonor has 'really beautiful eyes'.
During their highly-educational trip, the Royal daughters also met with Spain's education minister, Isabel Celaá, and Balearic regional president Francina Armengol.
The Naüm Project has been working closely with children, teenagers, young adults and their families in one of Mallorca's poorest neighbourhoods for the last 20 years, and currently has around 850 kids on its books.
