The Spanish royal family has been at the center of several moments this week that have put the spotlight on the daughters of the monarchs, especially on Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía. From Germany, the press have evaluated very positively the relationship both young women keep. German media highlight that, despite recent difficulties, they appear as two deeply united sisters.

During their stay in Mallorca, members of the royal household have participated in different public activities, from sporting events to official acts. At all these events, the joint presence of Leonor and Sofía has been especially significant. Although the official agenda only included the attendance of the monarchs, the daughters didn't miss the traditional reception at Marivent Palace, surprising everyone.

The German outlet Bunte has been responsible for highlighting the good rapport that has become evident between the two princesses. The publication has emphasized that this year has been difficult for them due to the distance that separated them and Leonor's absence at Sofía's graduation. "Touching reunion: Leonor and Sofía missed each other a lot," their report stated.

In addition to highlighting the reunion, the German press have valued the naturalness and affection with which the young women have shared time and events. It has been pointed out that, for the first time, both attended the summer dinner together, a symbolic gesture of the strength of their sibling bond. They have also paid attention to their outfits, emphasizing Leonor's dress, which Queen Letizia had worn before, and Sofía's fresher and more youthful choice.

For years, the relationship between the monarchs' daughters has been the subject of speculation, but now the narrative has focused on the joy they share. "The sisters radiated happiness, probably because they were able to spend more time together again after months apart," Bunte noted. This approach provides a closer and more human image of the royal family, far from strict formality.
