The birthday of the youngest of the royal family is getting closer and what will happen after she comes of age is a mystery.
As Infanta Sofía approaches her 18th birthday, important changes and responsibilities loom in her life as a member of the Spanish royal family. Born on April 29, 2007, Sofia is currently completing her academic training at a boarding school in Wales, just as her older sister, Princess Eleanor, did previously.
In recent days, King Felipe has entrusted Sofia with her first official task on behalf of the Crown, which is that she will be in charge of presenting the awards in the next photography contest organized by National Heritage, thus representing the royal family. independently, without the company of their parents or sister. This fact marks an important step in the growth and prominence of the Infanta Sofía within the Royal House.
Unlike her sister Leonor de ella, who is called to succeed her father on the throne, the Infanta will not have to go through mandatory military training. Her parents, King Felipe and Letizia, will give her the opportunity to choose her own path once her studies are completed.
However, it is not ruled out that they may encourage her to carry out said instruction, taking into account equal opportunities between her sisters. What is clear is that the youngest daughter of the sovereigns of Spain, like the rest of the members of the royal family, will continue to represent the Crown in various acts and events, just as she has done until now accompanied by her parents.
On the other hand, her father, the king, has established that Sofía will not have a conventional job like her aunts, Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina, did, but rather her job will be to continue with the responsibilities inherent to her status as a member of the Spanish Royal House.
At 17 years old, Sofía de Borbón is at a key moment in her life, in which her role and responsibilities within the monarchy will become increasingly relevant. Her first official independent assignment is just the beginning of what is expected to be intense involvement in the affairs of State and representation of the Crown in the coming years.
Beyond the decisions she may make about her academic and professional future, the truth is that Infanta Sofía is called to play a fundamental role within the Spanish royal family, thus consolidating her place as a full member. of the House of Bourbon.
