Queen Letizia and King Felipe’s oldest daughter Princess Leonor started the first day of school at Santa Maria de los Rosales School. Her sister Infanta Sofia accompanied Princess Leonor on the first day of school. Despite going to the same private school in Madrid, the Spanish Princesses are starting the school year on different days due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Infanta Sofia will return to school on Friday.
Queen Letizia did not accompany her daughter because she followed health recommendations, which dictate that students are accompanied by one parent. King Felipe, joined by Infanta Sofia in the backseat, drove his daughter to school. King Felipe did not get down this year to walk his oldest child into school since parents are not allowed to enter the school building. The surgical masks are mandatory for six year-olds and above, both in classrooms and in all moments within the school.
