The latest public appearance of Infanta Sofía during her visit to the town of Sant Martí Vell in Girona has even reached France. French media have analyzed Infanta Sofía, who traveled to the municipality with Leonor, in detail. "They're copies," international press highlight.
They've also confirmed Sofía's big secret and how interest in her has been increasing recently. Her recent fame goes hand in hand with her sister, who plays an essential role in the youngest family member's life.
France reveals the truth about Infanta Sofía
Infanta Sofía is once again in the spotlight, and this time not only in Spain. France has been completely fascinated by her recent appearance in Sant Martí Vell. The youngest daughter of the royals has spent a summer day with her sister Leonor in this charming village in Girona.
Images of the moment have gone around the world. Meanwhile, French press have praised Infanta Sofía. They've also revealed the infanta's big secret: her closeness with Leonor. A closeness that's shown even in the way they dress and act: "They're copies," French media highlight.
Royal experts like Heloïse Broseta have pointed out that Sofía continues to enjoy her supporting role, but with more and more prominence. Broseta states that the relationship between Leonor and Sofía is one of the great values of the Spanish monarchy, something France especially appreciates. "Leonor and Sofía present themselves as heirs to a new era and a solid unity," she explains in Paris Match.
They're two years apart, but according to international press, despite being adults, "they still enjoy their twin role." Since they were little, they've worn identical looks and now, at 5 ft. 11 in. (1.80 m) and 5 ft. 7 in. (1.70 m), they choose styles that match each other. In a world where many royal houses suffer image crises, the bond between the sisters conveys stability, closeness, and a modernity to the institution.
French media already refer to them as "institutional twins," because they share events, style, and an obvious rapport, even though they have different paths within the institution. This duality has caused interest in the neighboring country. For many French people, Infanta Sofía represents the best of a new generation of European royals.
France falls for Infanta Sofía
Although she doesn't have constitutional duties like her sister, Infanta Sofía is earning a special place in the hearts of the European public. Every time she appears in public, her image grows stronger. Now not only in Spain, but also in international media like the French.
Although Leonor is the heir to the throne, Infanta Sofía has managed to attract the spotlight without seeking it. She has an elegance that seems spontaneous, not imposed. In France, they've especially noticed how she combines youth, spontaneity, and impeccable manners at all times.
Media want to see more of the infanta at public events, because of the naturalness she always exudes in her appearances. Without a doubt, Sofía has excelled again, this time, with a simple gesture, a family visit, and a naturalness that has captivated the French nation.
It's important to remember that the royals also attended that visit to the Catalan town. While their presence was relevant, it was Sofía and Leonor who took all the credit. Not only for the closeness they showed with each other, but also for their close relationship with Felipe: "they remain very close," the expert points out.
"Now that everyone has reunited, Felipe, Letizia, Leonor, and Sofía don't plan to let go," she concludes in the French media.
