Infanta Sofia, the daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia, is finally going to step forward and have her first official act alone.
Until now, the 17-year-old has been accompanied by her parents, her sister Leonor, and even her grandmother at all events related to the monarchy. But this time, she will be the star of the show.
The event in question is the presentation of the Photography Contest Awards, known as ‘Objetivo Patrimonio, Concurso de Fotografía Infanta Sofía.’

The Spanish press has already confirmed that the big day will be next December 13, where Sofia will preside over the awards ceremony at the Royal Collections Gallery.
According to some sources, it is quite likely that this will be the venue for the event given its prestige and institutional relevance.
The contest is organized by Patrimonio Nacional, the public entity in charge of preserving the State assets that are part of the legacy of the Spanish Crown.
This contest aims to share images of the varied and rich culture of our country, a project that undoubtedly reflects Spanish identity.
And what better way to introduce Infanta Sofia to the institutional agenda than with this very cultural activity.
It had been anticipated that this would be her first role as a representative of the Royal House, and the portal ‘Monarquía Confidencial’ had already revealed some months ago that it would happen in December. The reason is related to Sofia’s academic life.
As many know, the Infanta is studying the International Baccalaureate at the exclusive UWC Atlantic College in Wales, the same place where Leonor also studied.
According to the information available on the boarding school’s website, the Christmas vacations will begin on December 11 and run until January 6, 2025. This makes the choice of December 13 perfect, as it allows her to attend the event without having to interrupt her classes.
This first official solo event for Infanta Sofia is an exciting moment for both her and the royal family.
The young woman has the opportunity to demonstrate her commitment to Spain’s culture and heritage, and who knows, maybe this is just the first of many appearances in the future.
