The Infanta Sofia will travel at the end of August to Wales, where she will study the International Baccalaureate at UWC Atlantic College, the same school where Princess Leonor finished her studies on May 20, 2023.
However, Sofia will face new changes as she will not have the same education as the future Queen, this is not due to something related to the monarchy but to the educational institution that decided to make some adjustments to its curriculum.
