She is the shadow and support of Princess Leonor: Infanta Sofia turns 17 today – World

Infanta Sofia of Spain turns 17 today, April 29th. He is one year away from reaching the age of majority, the age that, according to journalist Pilar Eyre, considers essential for Felipe VI and Letizia to move towards divorce. Nothing, for now, confirms this theory by the specialist in royal affairs. And while that’s not enough, let’s talk about these 17 years lived in the shadow of her older sister, Princess Leonor. Although the parents have always ensured that their two daughters had (and continue to have) parallel paths and never removed Sofia from the stage where the princess of Asturias is the main protagonist, the truth is that the girl (now young) grew up assuming her secondary role.

But Sofia is also Leonor’s greatest strength. The future Queen of Spain relies heavily on her younger sister. The two developed a great complicity and are very close. Not even the distance that physically separates them has been able to weaken the ties that unite them.

We leave a photo gallery with 17 images from the life of infanta much appreciated by the Spanish who think highly of her friendly, outgoing and simple.
