Although the institutional focus is on Princess Leonor as the future Queen of Spain, her sister, the Infanta Sofia, follows an equally rigorous and thorough preparation.
Since childhood, she has been by her side at key events, such as the Paris Olympics and the Princess of Asturias and Princess of Girona Foundation awards ceremonies.
And although her role within the monarchy is not as well defined as that of her older sister, her upbringing leaves no doubt about her level of preparation.
How many languages does Infanta Sofia speak?
One of the most striking aspects of her education is her command of languages.
If Princess Leonor speaks eight languages, the Infanta Sofia is not far behind. Her linguistic training has followed the same path as her sister’s, thus reinforcing equity in her education.
While awaiting to know what course she will take after graduating from the UWC Atlantic College in Wales, Sofia is already fluent in Spanish and the co-official languages of Spain: Catalan, Galician and Basque. She is also fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese, French and Arabic.
In total, he is fluent in eight languages, an achievement that has not gone unnoticed in the international press.
Foreign media, such as the German publication ‘Bunte’ has highlighted a curious fact: Leonor and Sofia surpass Queen Silvia of Sweden, who speaks six languages.
Beyond the comparison with other royal houses, the linguistic level of the Infanta Sofia reinforces her preparation for the future.
Whether in a more discreet role or with greater responsibilities within the monarchy, her ability to communicate in different languages will allow her to function with ease on any international stage.
Her training is ongoing and, like her sister, she is building a solid foundation for whatever the future holds.
