Infanta Sofía's inner circle reveals previously unknown details about her life and future, as well as her relationship with her sister

The youngest daughter of the monarchs Felipe VI and Letizia Ortiz has caused a lot of curiosity since she reached adulthood. Although Princess Leonor  usually draws attention at official events, her sister Sofía  also stands out. More and more people want to know what the infanta is really like when she is not in the spotlight.

Royal expert Pilar Eyre has revealed some details about Sofía's personality. According to the specialist, the infanta has a great sense of humor and is a bit of a "clown," showing a fun and spontaneous side. In addition, she greatly admires her mother and shares with her a strong curiosity and intelligence.

Pilar Eyre also points out that Sofía writes very well for her age, which is not common among young people of her generation. She appears natural and authentic, as when she took part in the surprise organized for King Felipe on his proclamation anniversary. This attitude contrasts with the greater pressure her sister Leonor seems to feel in public.

An important support for Leonor

Pilar Eyre highlights that Sofía plays an essential role in the Princess of Asturias's life. Leonor needs a sister with whom she can share not only official duties but also personal moments. Sofía will be someone Leonor can trust and with whom she can talk, laugh, and confide.

The relationship between the two will be key in the future, especially because Leonor will take on great responsibilities as the future queen. Infanta Sofía will be an indispensable support for her. In fact, it is expected that Sofía will become the only person Leonor fully trusts, beyond her official circle.

Moreover, according to some media, it is noted that Sofía will help ease the media pressure her sister faces. Her role will be similar to that of Princess Irene of Greece with Queen Sofía, Leonor's grandmother. Sofía will act as a discreet and close support in Leonor's public and private life.

An academic future without military training

The Royal Household has confirmed that Infanta Sofía will not undergo the military training her sister Leonor is taking. Instead, she could soon begin her university studies, although it is not yet certain which degree she will choose. According to unofficial sources, there is talk that Sofía might study law, possibly combined with economics.

This academic choice points to a profile more oriented toward civil and professional life. Infanta Sofía will be able to prepare herself to develop an independent career. However, she will continue to have the support and closeness of her family at all times.

This way, Sofía will have a different path from her sister, but equally important within the family core and the Spanish monarchy. Her presence and natural personality make her a key figure for the future.

The natural personality of Infanta Sofía

Sofía appears more relaxed and spontaneous than Leonor, partly because she doesn't face the same official pressure. Her outgoing nature has attracted attention at several public appearances. The infanta enjoys life without the burden that comes with being the heir.

Her close relationship with her parents and with Leonor is another factor that defines her character. In addition, the fact that she shares a home with her family helps her keep a stable and protected environment. Infanta Sofía is a young woman who is building her own space within the Crown.

Her sense of humor and naturalness make her more accessible to the public. Despite her young age, she shows maturity and a great ability to communicate. All this makes her figure increasingly followed and appreciated.
