Infanta Sofía (17 years old) has spent a year away from the media spotlight. The fact that she went to study the first year of Baccalaureate at UWC Atlantic College in Walesmeant that during the school months he barely made any public appearances and was able to lead a life somewhat removed from his institutional role within the Crown. Something that has changed since his return.
The fact that she spends her summer holidays in Zarzuela means that at some point she is forced to make a public appearance to make clear her commitment to the monarchy. This was demonstrated by her last week when she was at the tenth anniversary events. of the proclamation of King Felipe VI (56 years old). That day, Sofia of Bourbon reappeared and became the protagonist. Seeing her again after months, with her sister Princess Leonor (18 years old) giving a surprise to her father with a nice speech or the look she chose, made her presence in the Royal Palace out of the most talked about. Once the event was over, the question arose as to when his next appearance would be. Well, mystery solved.
From Casa Real they have already made public the royal family’s agenda for next week. The event that generates the most expectation is the one that will take place next July 3rd. That day, Princess Leonor will experience a very special moment when her father King Felipe will present her with the rank of second lieutenant at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza. It was already known that the monarch would have this important role on such a special date for his first-born daughter. But it was not until now that it became known. whether Queen Letizia (51 years old) and Infanta Sofía will be there or not next to the heiress. The answer to the big question is that yes they will be.
Infanta Sofia and Queen Letizia, with Princess Leonor in Zaragoza
In the calendar published by Casa Real, the names of the four appear for this event, which is so emotional for them. Therefore, while King Felipe will hand over the office Both Leonor and her companions, Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofía will witness this moment from a more personal and not so institutional level. Her presence there is the best way to demonstrate her pride in the Princess of Asturias after her first year of military training. Furthermore, the fact that the youngest of the family is going to be there is the best reiteration of the role she has in her sister’s life.
Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia They have an excellent relationship. This is what they show in each of their appearances, where there is no shortage of gestures of complicity between them. It has always been said that the youngest daughter of Kings Felipe and Letizia is her sister’s best squire. She knows well that her role is to be in the shadow of a future Queen and show her support in her most important moments. Something that she will do next Wednesday once again with her presence in Zaragoza. Furthermore, it is clear that her presence is to support her sister if we take into account another of the weekly events on the official agenda.
The step back of Infanta Sofia and Queen Letizia
The curiosity comes because next Friday, July 5, there will be another delivery of dispatches. This time it will be in Lleida, at the General Basic Academy for Non-Commissioned Officers. But in this case, Princess Leonor will not receive the event and her presence will be to show her commitment to her military training and to take further steps on her path to becoming the future head of the Armed Forces. An event in which the heiress will be present but in which her sister Infanta Sofia will be the notable absentee. The names of King Felipe and the Princess of Asturias appear on the calendar, but no trace of her sister or Queen Letizia.
In this way, the two have made it clear that King Felipe and Princess Leonor They are the real protagonists of events like this as the current monarch and heir to the Crown. A step back that makes it clear that their presence on Wednesday will be for and to support Princess Leonor in the final stretch of her first year of military training at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza.
