Spanish media outlets were abuzz last month for the Catholic confirmation of Inflanta Sofía, 16, King Felipe and Queen Letizia’s youngest daughter.
The infanta wore fuchsia to the ceremony with classmates at the elite Santa María de los Rosales school in Madrid. King Felipe was her confirmation godfather.
It was a rare chance to see King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, Infanta Elena, Queen Sofía and Queen Letizia’s parents — Jesús José Ortiz Álvarez and María de la Paloma Rocasolano Rodríguez — all together.
Absent from the ceremony was King Juan Carlos, who has been living in exile in the Middle East following probes for financial irregularities.
Gossip outlets seized on a moment when Queen Letizia appeared to intervene in Queen Sofía’s interaction with her granddaughters.
