Sofia's going to be much taller than Leonor, unless something unusual happens with their growth patterns over the next couple of years.
I think both girls look very nice with Sofia looking better overall. Her dress and coat are a little short but the fit and colours are flattering and she looks stylish in an age appropriate way. Leonor also looks cute but IMO the dress and cardigan combo is more fitting for a young child, not a girl going on 12.
I do agree. But, remembering my own daughters and granddaughters at that age, that might very well be Leonor's choosing. Many a mother that has gone thru this age/stage knows exactly what I mean. Parents will have to pick their battles. Me, as long as clean, neat and presentable, OK. Left the tug of war for more important issues. I feel that maybe Leonor's personality is completely different from her sister's. One content in her life now the other can't wait to grow up. All kids different even by same parents and living in same homes with same opportunities. I will say that they both seem to have lovely manners in public. Who knows behind closed doors.I agree with you regarding Leonor's dress. I have noticed that she is dressed still in a child-like way, as there have been a number of previous occasions where her younger sister has looked more grown-up than her, fashion wise, IMO. Now, I'm not critiquing Leonor nor am I saying that she should be forced to dress like an older girl (because who knows, she might still like wearing younger styled clothes), as she is still nearly twelve, so she's not exactly a teenager yet. But I'd just like her to be dressed in a little more of a grown up way from time to time.

She has grown up so much! It's so nice to see Princess I-A, CP Mette-Marit and Queen Sonja together.

It is probably more to do with Leonor choosing it, like you've said. The Spanish princesses are always dressed well and appropriately. They have a wardrobe many young girls would kill to have and always look neat and well presented.
I wouldn't say Leonor's dress is "too young" for her. I think Lady Louise was a little girl who was dressed in clothes that were often too young for her. Thankfully that period seems to have finished and Sophie saw the light. I would never say Leonor's clothes are not age appropriate. I think out of all the royal princesses, the Spanish girls are by far the best dressed.
Wow Ingrid is growing up so fast. I almost didn't recognize her at first.
Love the look, coat is great. Love the scarf
Incredibly beautiful children, and perfectly dressed too.... a joy to behold !.
