Confirmed about King Felipe and Infanta Sofía: they've done it together and it's important

King Felipe is now making headlines. He is not doing so because of his role as head of state or because of his schedule, but because of the relationship he keeps with his younger daughter, Infanta Sofía. It has now been confirmed that they have taken a very important step together.

Specifically, it has come to light that he, in order to make sure the young woman doesn't feel less than Leonor, has made an effort to keep a strong bond with her. He has also given her a lot of affection and has worked to reinforce her identity. The result has been a wonderful relationship between the two, which has been publicly reflected on more than one occasion.

King Felipe and Infanta Sofía have built together a relationship marked by balance and affection

For years, there has been much talk about Princess Leonor's role as heir to the throne. Until now, little had been said about the role Infanta Sofía plays in the family and emotional structure of the Royal Household. This is where King Felipe has wanted to intervene, being fully aware of the importance of not making distinctions between them.

As psychologist Lara Ferreiro revealed in Lecturas, he had a complicated childhood. It was marked by the figure of a distant, traditional, and emotionally unavailable father. That model, which he received from the emeritus king, is precisely what he has wanted to avoid with his daughters.

That's why, according to this expert, King Felipe has worked to be the complete opposite and has become a "close, loving, affectionate, empathetic, egalitarian, and supportive" father. He has applied these qualities to both Leonor and Sofía, but especially to his younger daughter, so she doesn't feel less for not being the heir.

The result of this emotional and conscious approach is a strong and very visible relationship between father and daughter. Infanta Sofía and King Felipe have built a close and genuine bond. This bond has been strengthened over time through gestures, constant support, and symbolic decisions, such as the recent creation of an award that bears the young woman's name.

This is an award with its own identity, which reinforces her public image and gives her a prominent place within institutional life. The presentation of that award also marked Infanta Sofía's solo debut at an official event, which carried enormous symbolism.

Behind that decision is her father's support, who, according to various close sources, was key in promoting this initiative. This way, he has taken an important step alongside his younger daughter, supporting her personal, institutional, and emotional development.

Infanta Sofía and King Felipe: father and daughter, beyond protocol

Beyond the events and awards, what has resonated with public opinion is the message the monarch sends. It is a message of equality between his daughters, of affection without emotional hierarchies, and of boosting Infanta Sofía's self-esteem. As psychologist Lara Ferreiro has said, he "adores his daughters" and puts his role as a father even above that of king.

These statements match numerous images and public moments in which Letizia's husband has been seen being especially affectionate with his daughters. Whether upon their arrival at boarding schools abroad, at events, or at official receptions, the connection with Sofía is clear and constant.

This very personal approach also responds to a modern vision of fatherhood, where emotional presence and validation are considered just as important as discipline or education. He has understood this well and has been able to apply that model with intelligence and sensitivity.

What King Felipe and Infanta Sofía have done together is build a relationship based on mutual respect, individual recognition, and unconditional love. That, in the context of a royal family, has an even deeper value.
