Infanta Sofía has recently completed an essential stage in her life. In April, she reached adulthood, and in May, she finished her Baccalaureate studies at the prestigious UWC Atlantic College in Wales. This is the same institution where her sister, Princess Leonor, studied.
However, despite the anticipation surrounding each of her steps, her most immediate future remains shrouded in a veil of mystery. With just a few weeks before the new academic year begins, it still hasn't been confirmed which university studies she will pursue or where she will do so. The only thing that seems clear is that, unlike Leonor, the youngest daughter of the king and queen won't follow the path of military training.
While these questions are being solved, Sofía has returned strongly to the public scene after a long period focused on her studies. In just a few days, she has accompanied her parents at two official events that have once again placed her in the media spotlight.
Royal household can no longer hide the decision Infanta Sofía has made
First, at Zarzuela Palace, she took part in the reception for the Board of Trustees of the Spanish Committee Foundation of United World Colleges. Then, she was in Marín (Pontevedra), at the ceremony for the presentation of the Grand Cross of Naval Merit to Leonor, awarded by her father, Felipe VI.
At both events, the infanta's style has been the subject of attention and analysis. She wore her long, loose blonde hair, very discreet makeup, and outfits chosen with sobriety. However, what has attracted the most attention has been her total absence of jewelry.
Infanta Sofía prefers not to wear jewelry at official events
No earrings, no bracelets, no necklaces, no rings, nothing, and this isn't a one-time decision. If we review her public appearances, she has never been seen wearing jewelry, not even at events of great institutional significance. In fact, unlike her sister Leonor, Sofía doesn't even have her earlobes pierced.
This detail, which may seem minor, reveals a lot about the infanta's personality. Far from ostentation, Sofía projects a natural, simple, almost austere image, which is very uncommon among young royals of her age.
A choice that marks a notable difference from the rest of the royal family and that, far from being a coincidence, seems to respond to a personal conviction. History repeats itself, and royal household can no longer deny it: Sofía has decided not to wear jewelry.
