Infanta Sofia will preside over her first act in December

A year after Princess Leonor was sworn in before the Cortes Generales as heir to the crown, the time has come for Infanta Sofia to also assume new responsibilities and start having your own solo agenda.

Like Princess Leonor, Infanta Sofía will not assume the duties of representing the royal family until I didn’t finish collegeit will therefore still be many years before both have their own program of institutional activities; beyond the fact that both accompany their parents to certain events.

Felipe VI nevertheless wanted his second daughter, who will be 18 next April, to begin presiding over a solo event that would define the lines of action for what will be his agenda for tomorrow. If until now she has been seen with her sister in activities related to the environment and sport – which is one of her passions, especially football -, next December 20, Infanta Sofía will preside over “Objective Heritage “. Infanta Sofía’ Photography Competition, a new competition that the National Heritage has created in her name and which seeks to share images of state-owned properties which come from the inheritance of the Crown.

No further details about this pageant have been revealed by National Heritage, other than that this will be the first act in which Infanta Sofia will be seen alone. He will go with a small team of people who normally works with kings and who is entrusted by Don Felipe to personally take care of accompanying his daughters to events. This situation will continue to occur until the Princess and the Infanta join full-time institutional activity and Don Felipe creates their respective secretariats.

According to the rules established by Felipe VI after his proclamation, Infanta Sofía, unlike her aunts Elena and Cristina, will not be able to exercise paid employment either as an independent worker or as an employee. Their role will be to represent, for life, the Crown in the name of the King, first, or the Queen in the future. Hence also the intention that Princess Leonor’s sister begins to have a series of institutional obligations entrusted by his father.
