Born into the oldest royal family in the world, she is one of the most beautiful princesses in Europe
Her sister is the youngest queen in the world, Leonor
His father was the most handsome king in Europe, Felipe VI
She is the Princess of Sofia, Spain, a "royal spare tire" who lives in the shadow of her sister.
Although Sophia has lived a life of fine clothes since she was a child, she has no fate worthy of optimism, and has spent her whole life hovering on the edge of her sister Leonor's aura.
Her sister, Leonor, was the eldest princess of Spain, two years older than Sofia.
Leonor was the first princess of Felipe VI, bringing a touch of color to the old-fashioned royal family.
The Spanish royal family has always adhered to the custom of "passing on men and not women", but when it comes to Leonor, it is an exception. Father Felipe VI personally declared to the nation that Leonor would be the sole and eternal queen. Then, even if a prince were born later, it would only be Leonor who would inherit the throne.
However, Leonor's mother is very domineering, and Leonor's diet, clothing, dating, and hobbies will interfere with her mother. One of the most excessive things the mother did was to ask the other children to be called "His Highness" by Leonor, and the gap in identity directly caused Leonor to be isolated by his classmates at school.
Leonor is a child whose parents have high hopes, and she has endured too much pressure beyond her age range for the sake of her family and country. Therefore, Although Leonor lived an enviable life, he also became reticent because of these experiences.
Two years later, her sister Sophia was born.
In comparison, Sophia, who was born later than her sister, was much more tragic.
On the day of Sophia's birth, the royal family also spread this good news, but the people were no longer as happy as the birth of their sister Leonor, perhaps this is the "neglect" that the second child is destined to endure.
Or maybe it's because there is no "queen" aura to add, just having a beautiful leather bag is nothing to support.
Although Leonor and Sophia are both children of the royal family, since Leonor is the only heir to the royal family, the direction of education is also different. As Crown Prince, Leonor would have been more rigorous and meticulous than Sophia had received.
For example, when Leonor was studying, the queen's mother would call the teacher and ask her sister to speak in class once a month. But Sophia could never receive such a request, because the queen had only one, and she was not special.
Royals without the title of crown prince not only do not receive any preferential treatment, but also face problems such as being secretly photographed by paparazzi and exposing their private lives when they grow up, but what is unfair is that once the royal family has an accident, she will also be implicated.

Although sophia, the little princess of Spain, can only be a "royal spare tire", but after she reaches adulthood, she can receive a salary subsidy of 300,000 euros (equivalent to 2.34 million yuan) every year.
Because the treatment of members of the Spanish royal family is better than that of more than 90% of the royal family members in the world.
Although there will be a difference between the royal family and Leonor and her, Sophia is much luckier than the royal children of other countries, because her family has never ignored her from beginning to end.
Sophia's sister Leonor is a kind and simple queen, because she grew up with her sister, so she pays more attention to Sophia than her parents.
It is said that Because Sophia was not well mannered by the public, Leonor often stole the time to counsel her.
Sophia's mother, Letizia, spent a lot of time with her sister, but those were based on the special cultivation of the queen. For Sophia, the little daughter who is easily overlooked, Letizia's mind is more delicate.
We often see Sophia traveling with her sister, attending events together, and wearing the same clothes as her sister. Because her mother didn't want Sophia to feel different from her sister from an early age.
Sophia's father, King Felipe VI of Spain, was a humorous man. He actually had a deep meaning when he took the name "Sophia", because "Sophia" happened to have the same name as his mother, Sophia's grandmother.
Although the royal family tried to avoid duplicate names, the father's behavior was undoubtedly well-intentioned: he wanted Sophia to get more attention.
And the father's purpose was also achieved, and when the old queen learned that she had a granddaughter with the same name, she would even love her more than Leonor.
Although she lost the attention of the royal family, Sophia was held up as a pearl in the palm of her hand by her family.
Three
On the same occasion, Leonor must smile gracefully, while Sophia can laugh unscrupulously.
Because compared to Sophia, Leonor, as queen, needs to take on more responsibilities.
When attending the event, the sister needs to maintain the style of a future monarch, but Sophia can be moody and secretly grimace.
Even when going out, Sophia can sit on her father's shoulder like a little monkey, but her sister must maintain her decorum.
As a younger sister, Sophia is not the queen, but she avoids all responsibilities and pressures, so she lives happier.
Compared with her sister, Sophia's usual life is more relaxed and interesting. She loves sports and often plays handball in the Spanish palace, palazzo Sazuela; outdoors, she can learn her favorite skiing and horseback riding; indoors, she can also practice her ballet, with a rich and wide range of interests.
But Leonor was different, she had to be educated from an early age, proficient in musical painting, English, French, Chinese and Arabic foreign languages, and prepare for the future queen's path.
It was recently rumored that Lionor was going to study at the strict Atlantic College for two years.
In addition to studying, Leonor's feelings were also limited.
A few years ago, it was rumored that Lionor had a tendency to fall in love. However, the Spanish royal family immediately vetoed, indicating that Leonor was concentrating on his studies and had no distractions.
Because Leonor was queen, marriage could not be hastily.
But Sophia didn't have that concern. Spain is a capital country, and it is generally the supremacy of money.
As long as Sophia's boyfriend is rich enough, the royal family will not interfere too much in her choices.
Although her sister's life has been predestined, Sophia, who did not have the title of queen, should be thankful that she at least had a childhood under her control.
And when she grows up, all Sophia has to do is to strive for an independent life as much as possible through her own ability, so that she does not need to be dependent on the royal family and achieves true freedom.
