Background

Infanta Sofía, Born 29 April 2007, is the younger daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia and second in the line of succession to the Spanish throne, behind her elder sister, Leonor, Princess of Asturias.

As the child of the heir rather than the heir herself, Sofía carries the title Infanta rather than Princess; under Spanish tradition only the person set to inherit the crown uses the higher title. She was Born, like her sister, at the Ruber International Hospital in Madrid.

Since turning 18 in 2025, she has taken an increasing part in public royal engagements, a gradual widening of her role that is expected to continue as she gets older even though she stands outside the direct line of succession pressure her sister carries.
