This has been the very personal premiere of Infanta Sofía

Long-awaited solo premiere of Infanta Sofía. This debut has arrived on the official agenda of the King’s House on the way to turning 18. With a December cold and the sun about to set, The youngest daughter of Felipe VI and Letizia has appeared just as it turned five in the afternoon this Friday, December 13. We have descended from the main hall of the Gallery of the Royal Collections to the small carpeted patio that has been prepared for it. She was alone, without her parents and without a sister. It was the first posed that he stars in. Nobody has overshadowed him. The awards ceremony for the ‘Objective Heritage’ contest took place there. Infanta Sofía Photography Contest.

The little daughter of Felipe VI and Letizia has grown up. The meeting point for the press has been in the lobby that rises like an enormous balcony over the western corniche of Madrid. Behind us we could see the Christmas lights of the Plaza de la Almudena and Plaza de Oriente. Sofia, upon entering, took a firm step. He was very smiling. Sofía likes Wales, but she likes much more to return to Madrid, home, with her parents and her sister Leonor. He loves it here.

He was walking at a good pace, big and agile, like her. With her loose, ironed, impeccable and shiny hair. He was looking from one side to the other. He has seen the photographers and greeted them. We have followed every gesture and every movement with a magnifying glass. She has shown herself to be very determined. Not at all shy, very much like her, putting her hair with her right hand. He has settled into a blue armchair. He smiled. He likes people and that helps him on carpets, receptions and photographs.

For this day of the infanta’s debut, an event has been designed to suit her. A cozy space has been created, with its small tables, tiny lamps and uneven armchairs. Like a coffee shop on Gran Vía. An intimate little room installed next to the Austrias tapestries and the rooms of the Archaeological Remains. On floor -1 of the Gallery.

The cultural event, related to photography and history, was measured for her. The ‘Heritage Objective’ contest. Infanta Sofía Photography Contest begins its journey with the first edition. Just like her godmother, who is also making her debut in these awards. It has been a journey of months in which the House has been outlining its public figure, its function, its projection and has worked to provide content for its own agenda that launches today. The event was opened by Ana de la Cueva, president of Patrimony, who thanked Leonor’s sister for her attendance. “It is an honor that the youngest person in the Royal Family presides over the awards”. A shocking start with techno music from the 90s was the first video that was projected in this very personal little room.
