October is an important month for Princess Leonor and her sister, Infanta Sofía, wants to be by her side. The heir to the throne faces her most frenetic week of the year with the Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony, which also in this edition has a more extensive program to mark the 10th anniversary of Princess Leonor at the helm. With these appointments on the agenda of the Royal Family, Infanta Sofía has had to bring forward her return to Spain to be in Oviedo this Thursday.

The autumn holidays at Atlantic College, the international boarding school located in the Valley of Glamorgan in Wales, begin on Friday, October 25 at two in the afternoon, however, the presence of Infanta Sofia has already been confirmed for the events on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., when the traditional concert that begins the Princess of Asturias Awards will take place. On Friday the 25th, while Infanta Sofía’s colleagues will be saying goodbye in the United Kingdom, she will be at the general audiences at the Hotel de la Reconquista to meet with the presidents of the juries, members of the boards of trustees and award winners.

On the same Friday at 6:30 p.m., the 2024 Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony will begin at the Clara Campoamor Theater, in the presence of the King and Queen, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía. The next day, the entire Royal Family will travel to Sotres (Cabrales) to present the Award to the Exemplary Town of Asturias.

A few days later, on October 31, the Princess of Asturias will turn 19, but it is most likely that, since it is not a round anniversary date and it is Thursday, she will celebrate it in Marín. Which does not mean that she will not travel to Madrid this weekend or make other plans with the Kings and her sister Sofía, who will be in Spain enjoying her fall vacation until Sunday, November 3, when the students of Atlantic College will meet. They will be incorporated until Wednesday, December 11, when the Christmas holidays will begin.
