Changes in the royal family thanks to Queen Letizia's latest move with her daughter

Queen Letizia subjects the royal family to a new stage of changes after what she has done with her daughter's future

Queen Letizia shows that her influence on key decisions within the royal family is much greater than what is sometimes perceived. Thanks to her, in a few months, Casa Real will experience moments of change regarding the youngest daughter of the royals.

These changes will mean a new turn, not only for Sofía, but also for the rest of the royal family members. From now on, nothing will be the same and everyone will have to adapt to the new circumstances brought about by the queen.

Queen Letizia and her direct influence on her daughter

Queen Letizia has always been a key person regarding the steps taken within the royal family. Each of them is meticulously thought out and nothing is left to chance. She has just shown this with what she has just done with her daughter Sofía.

Queen Letizia has convinced the infanta to continue her studies abroad, specifically in Lisbon. With this, she brings about major changes in the royal family, who will now have to adapt again to the infanta's absence. This move not only seeks a quality education, but also reflects Queen Letizia's desire to project a modern and approachable image.

For the royal family, sending Sofía outside Spain is a gesture of openness, showing a commitment to international and multicultural education. Queen Letizia has defended the importance of her daughters having a solid education and experiences that go beyond the borders of the Spanish monarchy.

However, Letizia's influence is not limited to her daughter studying abroad. She has also convinced Sofía that it is best to study political science and international relations. The young woman was first interested in a much more artistic field, but it was ultimately set aside for a degree more in line with her institutional role.

This way, on September 8, Sofía must already be in Lisbon to start her first year at a prestigious university. She will have to complete her second year in Paris and the third, and final, year in Berlin, as stipulated by the university program.

Thanks to the latest step Queen Letizia has taken with her daughter and her future, the royal family will undergo significant changes. Especially regarding the institutional agenda of the younger generations of the institution.

With Sofía outside the country and Leonor in the Air Force, the responsibility for representing Casa Real falls on the royals. Once again, the royal family finds themselves separated by the different obligations of their most relevant members.

However, Letizia's move with Sofía to study in Lisbon helps to shorten the distances. With the option of studying in the United States ruled out, the Portuguese capital offers greater proximity in case the infanta has any duty to fulfill. That's why nothing decided in the royal family is left to chance.

Yes, Sofía will study outside Spain, but Leonor will be in San Javier, in Murcia, at the General Air Academy. Therefore, if necessary, it will be easier to bring the whole family together than if the infanta were studying in the United States.

Therefore, the official calendar of the royal family will be adjusted, with Leonor in the Air Force, while Sofía studies far from Zarzuela. Queen Letizia believes that both daughters must learn to manage in the world without relying solely on their status. Even if that means modifying the institutional agenda.
