The media attention surrounding the new generation of royals has been relentless, with young figures such as Alexia and Ariana of the Netherlands, Elizabeth of Denmark, and Spain’s own Infanta Sofia capturing the public imagination.
In the case of the youngest daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia Ortiz, the British newspaper Daily Mail has highlighted a number of qualities that make her one of the most “sought-after” teenage royals among her peers.
The popularity of the Infanta Sofia of Spain
According to the Daily Mail report, the main reason why Infanta Sofia, 16, generates great sympathy is her great responsibility in fulfilling official commitments.
This is even though her prominence is less than that of her older sister, the heir to the throne, Leonor.
The media highlights the “great sense of duty” that the young royal has shown towards her country.
They even highlight the time she met one of her Italian idols, Teo Bok.
Instead of going out of her way to spend more time with him, the Infanta Sofia responded with maturity:
“In half an hour we have to leave. We would like to stay but we have work,” she said.
In addition, the Daily Mail did not miss the opportunity to highlight the great academic commitment of the Infanta Sofia, who is currently studying at the prestigious UWC Atlantic College in Wales.
The youngest daughter of the King and Queen has shown a remarkable ability to balance her official duties as a royal with her academic performance.
So much is her commitment to her studies that she recently did not attend the King’s Cup final.
A soccer event she used to attend with her father, Felipe VI, but this year she had to skip it.
Her absence from the King’s Cup final is a clear sign of her determination to prioritize her studies over other commitments, including the sporting events she is so passionate about.
This time he chose to stay away and dedicate his time to his academic training.
According to sources close to the Spanish Royal House, Sofia is a brilliant student, responsible and highly appreciated by her peers in Wales.
Sofia is nicknamed “the court confidant” for her observant character, the infanta stands out for her intelligence and dedication to her studies.
The Infanta Sofia at Easter
The last time we saw Sofia was during an Easter procession through the streets of Madrid, along with King Felipe, Queen Letizia, and her sister Leonor.
On that occasion, the Infanta Sofia captivated with her youthful and casual style.
The youngest daughter of the King and Queen of Spain wore a Zara bomber jacket made of recycled polyester and priced at 49.90 dollars.
A piece with a round neck, long sleeves, front pockets and front closure with automatic buttons.
With her choice, Sofia not only showed her taste for current trends but also her commitment to environmental care.
She paired her jacket with a plaid scarf, dark blue pants and black boots.
The future of the Infanta Sofia
Although her destiny is not to rule as the future queen of Spain, Sofia possesses qualities that point to her playing an important role in the Royal House.
Far from being a “second daughter”, the young woman has been developing a role of her own that will be crucial in the future, both personally and institutionally.
Because of her closeness to her sister Leonor, the Infanta will probably accompany and support her in the tasks inherent to her position as heir to the Crown.
