A special moment without the family near
This Tuesday, Infanta Sofia, the youngest of the children of Kings Philip and Leticia, celebrates a significant event: its age of age. However, the young woman faces a day marked by the absence of several key members of her family, including her aunt, Infanta Cristina.
The absence of aunt and other family figures
Infanta Cristina, mother of Irene Urdangarin, will not be present for this celebration that, unlike that of her sister, Princess Leonor, will not have an institutional character. Infanta Sofia, who recently returned to Wales to prepare for graduation, will be surrounded by a much more intimate atmosphere.
A quiet birthday in an academic context
In order to end his second year of high school, Infanta Sofia will not have the company of his parents, who will attend an official event in Jaén. This implies that its 18th anniversary will be a discreet event, without parties or family celebrations that mark their new stage.
A family bond in tension
The relationship between King Philip VI and his sisters has been complex, also affecting the ties between the daughters. Although there have recently been some gestures of approach, such as the presence of kings on the birthday of Infanta Elena, the relationship is still fragile. This has influenced the dynamics between Sofia and its aunt, which are not often seen together.
A future with the hope of meeting
Despite the absence of Infanta Cristina at this significant moment, Infanta Sofia will have the opportunity to meet with family and friends during the summer, after graduation. It will be this time when you can see if the family relationship will continue to improve and if the Infanta Cristina will accept the invitation to celebrate her birthday.
