The celebrations don’t stop for the royal family on June 19. After the solemn changing of the Royal Guard in the Plaza de la Armería of the Royal Palace, the awards ceremony and a lunch in honor of the winners, Princess Leonor (18 years old) and Infanta Sofía (17 years old), already in alone, they have continued with their agenda of institutional commitments.
Around 8:00 p.m., Leonor and Sofía once again took center stage in a new event in which they held a very relaxed meeting with dozens of young people who in their day received recognition from different foundations linked to the monarchy. Immediately afterwards, they will go to the Royal Collections Gallery where the writer María Dueñas will guide them. A cultural event that the kings could also join.
Throughout the entire event, Leonor and Sofía have shown themselves to be very connected and natural. Although we have not seen them exchange as many laughs and confidences as we are used to, we have been able to see the experience they accumulate in these types of events. Despite having exchanged almost no words, the sisters have moved as one, knowing at all times what they had to do and where to be. Very determined, the young women have made it clear that they knew the importance of today and they did not want to fail in their mission.
The outfits that Leonor and Sofía have chosen for their solo act
As they have grown, Leonor and Sofía have developed their own style consistent with their personalities. Something that has been confirmed, once again, with the event they attended this afternoon. On the one hand, the heir to the throne, more groundbreaking than ever, has opted for a lingerie set from the new Sfera collection in a grayish blue tone. With black embroidery and metallic flower appliqués, The lingerie top and the midi skirt allowed us to discover the most daring and adult side of the heir to the throne.
On the other hand, Infanta Sofía has shone (literally) with her total white look, made up of wide, elegant pants and a fluid top with sequins all over the garment. Round neck and straight cut, her top just dazzled with a slit in the center of her back. An original and fun option that fits the role of the young woman.
Leonor and Sofía thrill their parents with an unexpected surprise
If there is an image that has marked this tenth anniversary, it has been, without a doubt, the moment in which Leonor and Sofía skipped all protocols to surprise their parents in the middle of lunch. “Mom, dad, sorry for sneaking in, but we also have something to say today.”said the Princess of Asturias, amused, capturing the attention of everyone present and, especially, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia.
Infanta Sofía, visibly nervous, took the floor and continued with the speech: “Thank you for joining us to remember that in these ten years, we have learned from our parents the commitment that the four of us have with the Spanish people”. And finally, Leonor concluded by encouraging everyone to toast the monarchs.
“We would like you to join us in a toast to our mother and father, to our Kings, because Since we were born we have been taught the value of the Crown, and its purpose to serve all“, he expressed. “Mom, dad, thank you”said Sofía, causing a huge applause.
