The Infanta Sofia celebrated her 17th birthday on April 29 at boarding school in Wales.
The younger sister of Princess Leonor spent her first birthday out of Spain and away from her family.
Sofia is currently in her first year of high school at UWC Atlantic College in Wales as she prepares to preside over her first solo event.
As we have already mentioned, the Infanta Sofia will be the godmother of a photography contest that will bear her name and that so far the date has not been revealed, but will take place this year.
This new task of Sofia comes just after her father, King Felipe of Spain said in a public act, that he counted on the Infanta to represent the Crown.
“The continuity (of the monarchy) is today represented, logically, by the Princess of Asturias, but also, we must not forget, with the company of her sister, the Infanta Sofia, who has to help a lot,” said the head of state at an event in Madrid in March.
Photo of the Infanta Sofia’s birthday in Wales
Now, social media circulates an alleged photo of the Infanta Sofia in Wales where she had the opportunity to enjoy with her companions a very special day in which she was the protagonist.
The alleged image of how the Infanta Sofia celebrated her birthday has led to debate whether the Infanta would have violated one of the rules of the boarding school and the Zarzuela Palace.
An Instagram account managed by fans of Leonor and Sofia has been responsible for publishing in their statuses an image where the Infanta Sofia would appear together with a fellow student.
This photograph would give some details of how it would have been the celebration of Sofia’s birthday in Wales.
To begin with, the Infanta Sofia is not clearly seen because her back is turned, but there are details that make us think that she is the one who appears next to a young woman posing in front of a mirror.
The photograph refers to “Sofia Day”, words that could refer to the birthday of the Infanta Sofia.
On the other hand, there is a phrase that could refer to the Infanta Sofia as it says “Such a shame I can’t post your face”.
It should be noted that the Zarzuela Palace, would have asked the students of the boarding school not to share photos of her in order to protect her privacy as much as possible.
A rule that some would have skipped Sofia’s friends.
From the aforementioned Instagram account, they point out the socks worn by the alleged infanta Sofia, as they would be the same ones she wore when she said goodbye to her parents before traveling to Wales in August 2023.
Apparently, Sofia did participate in a party in her honor at the boarding school and photographs were taken but using the Infanta’s mobile phone to avoid disclosure.
