What’s new on the horizon for Sofia of Spainsecond daughter of King Felipe VI and of the queen Joy. The princess, who will turn on April 29th 16 years, is preparing for an important step: at the end of August he will move to Wales to attend theUWC Atlantic Collegewhere he will finish his high school studies, earning an International Baccalaureate.
Thus, the little one of the house will follow in the footsteps of her older sister Leonor, who has been studying in Wales since 2021. the two girls, however, they will not be fellow students: Leonor, in fact, will graduate in May, a few months before her sister’s arrival.
The news of Sofia’s decision was announced on Monday 6 February, by Zarzuela, with an official statement, where we learn that the princess «He successfully completed the entire selection process requested». The study program is heterogeneous and includes humanities and sciences, but also sports and social subjects. As happened in the case of Leonor, this time too Felipe VI and his wife will pay the tuition fees out of their own pockets. 74 thousand pounds for two years.
The Welsh institute is by no means new to blue-blooded pupils. In 2018 UWC Atlantic College had been chosen by Elisabeth of Belgium, and before that by Willem Alexander of Holland. The king’s second daughter, Alexia, a contemporary of Leonor of Spain, also made the same choice, as did Raiyah of Jordan, younger daughter of King Hussein and Queen Noor before her.
An elite choice, which in Sofia’s case, however, could also hide something else. According to the Spanish press, the girl would have been victim of bullying at the Santa Maria de los Rosales boarding school, which he has attended since kindergarten. For this reason her parents would like a more welcoming environment for her. Sofia also plays football: in Wales she might find the ideal situation for that complete his studies and devote himself to his passion in a more protected atmosphere. Without pressure.
