Infanta Sofía, who will celebrate her coming of age next April 29, is in the final stretch of her studies at UWC Atlantic College in Wales. She is expected to obtain her International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP) on May 24, a demanding academic program she has pursued over the past two years.
With the acquisition of this diploma, a new stage in her academic and personal life opens up. Questions quickly arose: will she follow in the footsteps of her sister, Princess Leonor, and receive military training? Or will she begin her university journey directly?
There will be no military training for Sofía
The Royal House settled part of the debate with a clear statement: "as of today, the possibility of military training for her is not considered." Although at first Sofía seemed to join the Army and take a helicopter pilot course, she ultimately chose not to follow that path.
Unlike her sister, the infanta is not required to receive military instruction. Princess Leonor, on the other hand, continues her military training aboard the training ship Juan Sebastián Elcano, where she will spend half a year at sea this July.
