While the cameras focus on every step that Princess Leonor takes, especially during her voyage aboard the Elcano training ship, there is another figure of the royal family who, little by little, is revealing her personality away from the media spotlight: the Infanta Sofia.
Although the youngest daughter of the kings has managed to keep her most intimate life away from the headlines, small details have been coming to light that allow us to get a closer look at her personal tastes. And among them, there is one that is especially striking: her fascination for science fiction.
What does the Infanta Sofia like?
While it was already known that she enjoys K-pop – she is a fan of groups like BTS – and that she plays sports, especially soccer, it has also been discovered that Sofia is a true enthusiast of the fantasy universe, with special devotion to two mythical sagas: Star Wars and Dune.
This hobby is not new. In fact, in 2020, during her school years, she was seen with a Lego keychain with the figure of Master Yoda hanging on her backpack.
A small detail, but full of meaning for lovers of the galactic saga.
But there is more. When Sofia took the first selection test for the International Baccalaureate at UWC Atlantic College, she chose a very particular pseudonym: Dune.
This choice does not seem casual. Everything indicates that she feels a special connection with the universe created by Frank Herbert in 1965, a world that revolves around the desert planet Arrakis and that, over time, has grown thanks to the continuations written by the author’s son, Brian Herbert, together with Kevin J. Anderson.
International media have also taken note of this facet.
Magazines outside Spain have described her as a true sci-fi movie buff, something that demonstrates the Infanta’s unique and modern personality.
These small details give us a glimpse of the personality of Princess Leonor’s younger sister.
Sofia is soon to finish her studies at the UWC Atlantic College in Wales. On May 24, she will put on her cap and gown at St. Donatus Castle.
