Queen Letizia Makes a Firm Decision Regarding Infanta Sofía: They Will Do It Alone

Queen Letizia will be the only representative of the Royal Family at Infanta Sofía's graduation in Wales

At the end of May, Infanta Sofía will close an important chapter in her life by graduating from UWC Atlantic College in Wales. A significant event that, however, will be marked by the absence of two essential figures in her life: her father, King Felipe VI, and her sister, Princess Leonor. The ceremony will have the exclusive presence of Queen Letizia, who will travel alone to join her younger daughter in this very special moment.

Neither her father, King Felipe VI, nor her sister, Princess Leonor, will be able to attend due to unavoidable commitments. On this very special day, Sofía won't be alone: Letizia will travel to Wales to join her in this important achievement. But, how will Infanta Sofía face this important day without the presence of her father and sister?

Queen Letizia Makes a Firm Decision with Infanta Sofía: They Will Do It Alone

Infanta Sofía has spent two years at UWC Atlantic College, a boarding school renowned for its prestigious international education. During this time, she has developed an independent routine and has fully integrated into the academic life of the center, away from the media spotlight. Now, with the end of the course in sight, she is preparing for her graduation, a key moment in her journey.

The event will be especially significant for her, as it will mark the end of a stage before starting new personal and academic projects. Monarquía Confidencial has confirmed that Queen Letizia will be her only companion, reaffirming the close bond between mother and daughter.

In the face of the absences of Felipe and Leonor, Letizia has made the firm decision to travel alone to join Sofía. Her presence at the graduation not only responds to her role as a mother but is also a gesture of support for her younger daughter. Letizia has been very alert to Sofía's education and has closely followed her academic progress, so she didn't want this moment to go unnoticed for her.

The relationship between Letizia and Sofía has always been close and supportive, and this trip to Wales reinforces that bond. The queen wants to ensure that her daughter feels family support on such an important day, preventing the absence of other members of the Royal House from overshadowing the celebration.

With this gesture, Letizia makes it clear that, beyond her institutional role, her priority remains the well-being of her daughters. Sofía, meanwhile, will face this event with the assurance of having her mother's unwavering support.

The Absence of Felipe VI and Princess Leonor

Despite the significance of the occasion, Felipe VI won't be able to travel to Wales due to official commitments. The monarch must attend the inauguration of the new president of Ecuador, an event that coincides with Sofía's graduation. This institutional obligation prevents his presence at the ceremony, although he is expected to keep in touch with his daughter on this special day.

Meanwhile, Princess Leonor also won't be able to attend, as she will be immersed in her training at the General Military Academy. At that time, she will be embarked on the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano, fulfilling her military training program. Although Leonor and Sofía have always shown a close relationship, the distance will be unavoidable this time.

It is undeniable that Infanta Sofía's graduation will be a moment of great significance in her life, marked by the absence of her father and sister. However, it will also be significant for the unconditional company of Queen Letizia. Her decision to be present underscores the special bond between them and makes it clear that Sofía won't face this important milestone in her journey alone.
