The relationship between the girls
The children Elena, Cristina and Sofia have a complex and different relationship than can be perceived in public. Although they appear to be well-to-do sisters, the reality is that Sofia feels uncomfortable around Princess Eleonor. This situation is due to the fact that Eleanor will be the future queen of Spain, while Sofia will always be considered an infanta. This creates a dynamic of superiority and inferiority between them, affecting the relationship between the two sisters.
Academic opportunities
Currently, the children Elena, Cristina and Sofia receive the same academic opportunities. Both have studied at the prestigious boarding school in Wales and Sofia is expected to follow a similar academic background. It is not yet known if Sofia will have to do the mandatory military training or if she will go directly to university. In any case, both Elionor and Sofia will have the opportunity to study at the Complutense University of Madrid.
Future differences
There are several future differences between Eleonor and Sofia. Eleonor is required to do military training and will probably study Law to understand the laws and how to act in case of need. On the other hand, Sofia will have more freedom to choose the university career of her dreams. In addition, Eleonor will always have to live in Zarzuela with her parents, while Sofia will be able to enjoy privacy living in her own apartment in Madrid. His freedom to choose his partner will also be respected, while with Eleonor, his new partner will be scrutinized, as he will be the future king of Spain.
Differences in appearance
Another notable difference between Eleonor and Sofia is in appearance. While Eleonor wears high heels, Sofia is always forced to wear ballet flats as she is taller than her sister. This height difference is a concern because Sofia cannot appear taller than the future queen. In addition, Sofia dresses in a more youthful and simple way, without attracting attention. These differences in appearance are the first consequences of being the sister of the future queen of Spain.
