Leonor, six, and Sofía, five, looked happy and excited on what is a big day for any youngster. The two sported their navy blue uniform and matching blue backpacks, as well as both wearing their blonde hair in a cute side plait. Minutes before, at 9am, the girls had arrived at the school in a car driven by their father. The family then held hands as the young royals led their parents to the school gates and waved to reporters.
