Biography
Infanta Sofía was born in 29 April 2007 at 4:50 pm in the Ruber International Hospital in Madrid by means of a caesarean section, two days after due date. Like her elder sister, her birth was announced by the Royal Family to the press via SMS. It was announced that her umbilical cord stem cells would be sent to a European private bank in Belgium and to a Spanish public one. The parents, then the Prince and Princess of Asturias, did the same with Leonor's cells: they were taken to a private center in Arizona, which caused controversy in Spain.
Sofia was named after her paternal grandmother, Queen Sofía. She was christened on 15 July in the gardens of the Palacio de la Zarzuela. Her godparents are Paloma Rocasolano (her maternal grandmother) and the Prince of Vidin. Like her sister, she was given one name, with the additional name of de Todos los Santos (of All the Saints), at her christening, a Bourbon tradition.
She received her First Communion on May 17, 2017 at the parish Asunción de Nuestra Señora, and there assisted his grandparents and his parents; Paloma Rocasolano, his great grandmother María del Carmen Álvarez del Valle, Ana Togores, spouse of his father, and Konstantin-Assen of Bulgaria.
