Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía went out on Wednesday to meet with the young people of the Princess of Girona Foundation.
The Spanish royal looked stylish in bright summer colours as she greeted people at the Princess of Girona Foundation’s programmes at the Santa Clotilde Gardens in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
Princess Leonor, 18, looked chic in a green blazer over a white top and completed her look with white trousers and beige stilettos.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Sofia looked simple in a blue dress that she paired with nude flats.
Her brown locks fell loose in soft curls and her neutral makeup enhanced her youthful complexion.

The sisters chatted with other young people throughout the day and learned about the work of the Princess of Girona Foundation.
The Foundation, currently chaired by King Felipe on behalf of Princess Leonor, works for young people in all areas that are critical to their future.
It seeks to become a national benchmark in supporting young people in their professional and personal development.
This comes after the sisters went out yesterday accompanied by their parents, Queen Letizia and King Felipe, to celebrate the organization’s 15th anniversary at the Meliá Lloret de Mar Hotel.
Letizia looked elegant as ever in a sleeveless cream-coloured dress with a daring slit and a striking neckline, paired with a pair of white heels and a matching handbag.
Equally sophisticated, her husband matched the Queen’s style in a cream blazer and blue shirt.
Meanwhile, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia of Spain, who had visited a sculpture studio in Barcelona earlier in the day, appeared perfectly in sync on Tuesday.
The teenage daughters of King Felipe and Queen Letizia, aged 18 and 17, opted for a summery look for their special visit to the studio of renowned artist Jaume Plensa.

Their impeccable appearance once again consolidated their status as promising heirs to the throne and the future of the crown.
Leonor has stepped up her role since turning 18 last October, and it seems the crown is looking to her for a fresh start after years of scandal that plagued the monarchy.
The princesses were impeccably dressed in their summer outfits, and even wore matching espadrille sandals by Spanish brand Macarena Shoes.
Eldest daughter Leonor paired a puff-sleeved blouse with matching jeans, looking radiant as she sported gold hoop earrings and a star-shaped piercing.
Meanwhile, Sofia opted for wide-leg pants and a blouse from Ba&sh, one of her favorite brands, in a boho-style design.
The royal visit highlighted their interest in contemporary art and culture, as they admired Plensa’s acclaimed works and spoke with the artist.
The event is part of the Princess of Girona Awards, which are being presented today, and Leonor is scheduled to give another speech at the awards ceremony.
“The Princess has a huge job to do. At 18, it’s time to speak on behalf of so many people like her who are looking for a space and a voice in society,” said the presenter of the event, according to the Spanish magazine Hola.
Princess Leonor wore a light makeup palette and gathered her locks into a half ponytail.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Sofia wore a blue dress that she paired with skin-colored ballet flats.

The family day came amid a turbulent time for the Spanish royal family, which began earlier this year with the publication of an explosive book by veteran Spanish journalist Jaime Peñafiel.
Letizia’s former brother-in-law told the author that he met Letizia before 2000 and that their alleged relationship began on a romantic trip to Venice, years before she met King Felipe.
Jaime – son of former politician Jaime Ignacio del Burgo – claims he was planning to propose to Letizia when she announced she was dating a mysterious “diplomat” during a dinner at Madrid’s Ritz hotel in 2002.
Describing how “serious and meaningful” their relationship was, the author made the unlikely claim that Jaime “was wearing an engagement ring in his pocket” that night.
Letizia reportedly told him that she had “met someone who would force her to leave her profession,” which, according to Jaime, led him to deduce that her mysterious partner was Felipe.
After the couple reportedly decided to remain just friends, Jaime is said to have advised Letizia: “Don’t announce the romance, just the wedding.”
Following the announcement of their engagement in 2003, Letizia – who had divorced her first husband in 1999 – reportedly asked Jaime to be a witness at her wedding.

But Letizia and Felipe did not show any hint of nervousness when attending a meeting with the winners of previous editions of the Princess of Girona Foundation Awards during the events for the 15th anniversary of the entity at the Hotel Meliá Lloret de Mar.
The Foundation, currently chaired by the King on behalf of Princess Leonor, works for young people in all areas that are critical to their future.
What’s more, the royal’s former brother-in-law also made the wild claim that he “took care of” Letizia’s prenuptial agreement and helped cover the cost of the Queen’s family’s wedding outfits.
She is quoted as saying: ‘When the wedding with Felipe came around, I took care of, as you know, the prenuptial agreement, among other things.
‘I also had to pay for Letizia’s family’s expenses because Juan Carlos didn’t want to pay or go halfway with me. So, with the help of my friend Felipe Varela, I dressed his mother, his grandmother and his sisters. And with the help of Jaime Jason, his father, his grandparents and a cousin.’
Jaime also made the incredible claim that the Queen asked to see him the night before the wedding at the exclusive El Latigazo restaurant in Madrid, where she asked him to “never leave her”.
He sensationally claimed: “When we first met, she took me by the hand and asked me why I had never asked her to marry me. Obviously I didn’t answer her. I encouraged her as best I could. The last thing she said to me before we said goodbye in that restaurant was a request: “Never leave me.”
In the book, Del Burgo describes Felipe as a “good-hearted man” and even goes so far as to say that he had a “great friendship” with the monarch. “I told him my problems and he told me his,” she told the author.
The businessman even claims that Felipe “uses him as a good man because he has felt unable to calm her down” on occasions.
After the wedding, Jaime described how Letizia was like a “fox in a henhouse” as she was “smarter than any of them”.
Jaime – who says the Queen nicknamed him her “yogi friend” – claims he continued to have a romantic relationship with Letizia even after their wedding in 2004. He also claims he has kept “photographs, videos, mobile phones” and text messages as proof.
The businessman said that in their relationship “there has always been love”, since, he said, they travelled together to Venice. The photograph that Jaime shared on Twitter was taken during one of Letizia’s pregnancies between 2005 and 2007.
In the book, Jaime sensationally claims that Letizia whispered that she loved him as they lay in a hammock by a pool at their home after the birth of Princess Leonor.
Jaime Peñafiel goes on to write that Jaime del Burgo later wrote a work called ‘La Hamaca’, and edited it but never distributed it.
After this, Jaime claims that they “took steps forward with the goal of being free,” which involved seeking legal advice and looking for properties in the United States.
A spokesperson for the Spanish Royal Family previously told FEMAIL: “We have no comment to make on this.”
