Infanta Sofia’s Confirmation
One of the events she has pending in Spain is related to her confirmation. The Santa María de los Rosales school would have agreed to bring forward the Confirmation of the students of the course in which Sofia is so that she can receive this sacrament before leaving for Wales, publishes the portal Vanitatis.
It will be a simple ceremony, as was that of Leonor two years ago, in 2021 and it is possible that she will choose King Felipe as confirmation godfather.
This year, with the coronavirus already under control, it is unknown if more family members will be able to attend the church. If so, the maternal grandparents, Jesús Ortiz and Paloma Rocasolano, as well as Queen Sofía, will surely be present.
End of her school years
The Infanta will put an end to her studies of Compulsory Secondary Education with good grades and successfully. With this, she will put an end to a lifetime at the Santa María de los Rosales school and it is likely that a graduation ceremony will be held to bring this stage to a close.
Infanta Sofia’s birthday
Another of the special dates that Sofia will live before moving will be her birthday. On April 29, 2023, the youngest daughter of the King and Queen will be 16 years old.

Return of Princess Leonor to Spain
