Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía stepped out together on Thursday for a joint visit in Catalonia in northeastern Spain. There, the sisters toured several sites within the medieval town of Sant Martí Vell, a day after attending the Princess of Girona Awards with their parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona.
Joined by young participants from the Princess of Girona's Foundation's local 'GiTalent' initiative (abbreviated to reflect the Gironès region), the royal sisters toured several homes and buildings in the village once restored by designer and philanthropist Elsa Peretti. They also met with representatives from the Special Intervention Plan for Youth in Valencia, an initiative launched in early 2025 to support communities affected by the catastrophic floods in 2024. The program focuses on education, youth entrepreneurship, mental health, and cultural development.
Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía have been making the most of the time they have together this summer. The sisters have had a busy few days of royal engagements while they are on break from military training and school, respectively. Earlier this month, the Spanish royal family reunited as Princess Leonor completed her naval training, hitting a major milestone in her royal and military career. She is expected to begin her third and final year of military training in the coming weeks at the Air Force Academy.
Last night at Princess of Girona Awards, the Spanish royal women coordinated in dark-colored outfits. Queen Letizia wore a black satin-trimmed suit by Mango, paired with matching high-waist flared trousers. She carried a satin-panel flap clutch by Magrit and wore black diamond long string earrings by Tous, finishing the look with black patent Mary Jane pumps by Sézane.
Her eldest daughter, Princess Leonor, opted for a navy jacquard jacket and matching trousers by Bleis Madrid, styled with a black leather knot-strap bag by Olivia Mareque and black leather pumps by Pinkchic Guagua, while her younger daughter, Infanta Sofía, wore a navy blue The-Are jumpsuit, paired with black leather slingback ballet flats by Magrit.
And at the end of the summer, Infanta Sofía will be back to school herself. Having recently graduated from UWC Atlantic College, also Leonor's high school alma mater, Sofia will be attending a more unconventional school for university: Forward College, a private institution that operates in three European cities. Specifically, she'll study for a degree in political science and international relations at three campuses in Paris, Berlin, and Lisbon.
