Reference to Princess/Infanta Sofia
I have had numerous discussions with people about how to refer to Sofia. In Spanish, her title is clearly "Infanta Sofia". However, we have seen the Spain Palace use both "Infanta" and "Princess" in English in various documents. Both are acceptable translations of the Spanish "Infanta." The Table below shows how Sofia was addressed in King Felipe's Christmas Speech in the official Spanish and English texts provided by the Palace.
