The expectation regarding the decisions of Infanta Sofía and Princess Leonor continues to increase, although it is the youngest daughter of Kings Felipe and Letizia who
more emotions promise to the followers of everything ‘royal’. We know the future queen’s road map, since it is and will be a carbon copy of her father’s. The same does not happen with his sister: he has, in his power, to innovate.
On paper, Infanta Sofía has the role of her sister’s faithful squire reserved. However, she must complete her own formative stage and make decisions regarding it with a freedom that Princess Leonor does not have. In fact, if I wanted to, I could
receive military trainingperhaps not as exhaustive as that of the heiress. Something tells us, however, that his vocation will go elsewhere.
Now that Infanta Sofía is studying her high school degree at the UWC Atlantic College in Wales, the same boarding school that Princess Leonor attended, Letizia’s youngest daughter will have to orient her educational future towards science or literature. In that simple decision lies one of the most decisive keys to her future, since we will be able to scrutinize whether the youngest Bourbon dreams of
practice a profession or has already come to terms with the idea of living in the shadow of his sister.
For now, all that can be said about Infanta Sofía’s university future are assumptions. Also observations, of course, since every visible step of Letizia’s little daughter is analyzed to the millimeter. For example, the French magazine Point de Vue has revealed that it attended an event dedicated to
technologythe ‘Ted x UWCAC Young’, which fascinated him. In it, several experts in technology, entertainment and design abounded in the professional opportunities of their specialties.
Infanta Sofía likes science and technology
We knew that Infanta Sofía is passionate about sports, science fiction, cooking and music. Also that his character is affectionate, sensitive and perfectionist. Now, thanks to the findings of said magazine, we can see that the young woman leans towards
branch of science (her father, in his youth, also felt the same inclination), in addition to continuing to be very dedicated to her passion for sport.
“Training options in technology were addressed, which could have influenced the infanta’s ideas about her future,” explains the magazine. The detail is significant, because if Sofía decided on a science career,
maybe an engineeringwould become the first princess of Spain to consider a future outside the humanities, the most feminized branch of knowledge. Let us remember that Elena and Cristina de Borbón studied Teaching and Political Sciences.

The chronicles of royal experts insist that Kings Felipe and Letizia want their daughters to have as similar an education as possible and

not only in a marriage: if possible also in a profession.
What cannot be expected, especially after spending two years in Wales, is that Infanta Sofía will pursue university studies in Spain. Not only because of the difficulty of maintaining her privacy and security in a Madrid faculty, for example, but because of the resignations that the young woman herself would have to make. Furthermore, as we see in other royal houses, young princesses educated in elite boarding schools continue
