Love alert for Spain's Crown Princess Leonor! Since January, the eldest daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia has been on a world tour with the Spanish training ship "Juan Sebastián El Cano" - but now a hot flirtation in Brazil is making headlines!

A photographer spotted the pretty heir to the throne at the carnival in Salvador da Bahia - and what he saw is now causing the rumor mill to churn: Leonor is said to have kissed passionately with a young man there!

The photographer told Spanish TV station TardeAR: "I have twelve pictures and I saw a boy in a blue shirt kissing her on the mouth." However, her security guards immediately intervened and forced him to delete some of the pictures.

Who is the mysterious kissing partner?
Is it a fellow cadet from on board? Leonor is completing her training together with 75 officer cadets - did she perhaps fall in love on the high seas? Or is it someone else entirely?

Last year, Brazilian Gabriel Giacomelli, who lives in New York, was linked to the princess. The two met during their time at UWC College in the UK. Was the mysterious kiss a reunion with an old love?

One thing is certain: Leonor's trip around the world not only ensures military discipline - but also royal romance!
