The Princess of Wales has made fewer public appearances this year after she announced she was diagnosed with cancer in March

Infanta Sofía of Spain has performed her first solo engagement at just 17 years old in a bold outfit inspired by the Princess of Wales.

The second in line to the Spanish throne donned an off-white suit as she attended the Museum of the Royal Collections Gallery in Madrid on Friday.


Sofía paired the blazer, featuring oversized black buttons, with matching trousers.

She wore her lengthy brunette hair straight down for the pre-Christmas outing.

The 17-year-old chose a natural makeup palet with black eyeliner, fluttery mascara, rosy blusher, and nude pink lipstick.

During the competition held at the museum, the Spanish royal presented a special award.

The competition was launched to celebrate and showcase Spanish monuments, historical spaces and works of art.

In 2022, Princess Kate wore a similar Alexander McQueen two-piece white suit to Sofía's when she stepped out at the Commonwealth Games alongside her daughter, Princess Charlotte, nine.

Kate's outfit featured the same waist-flattering tailoring, but rather than black buttons like Sofía's, the future queen was adorned with low-key white buttons.

Matching her personal style, Kate opted for cigarette-style trousers, whereas Sofía's fashionable suit featured a wide-leg design.

The white suit is thought to be a nod to the Spanish Royal Family as well as to Kate.

White has been linked with major milestones in the Spanish royal family for decades.

The Princess of Wales has made fewer public appearances this year after she announced she was diagnosed with cancer in March.

In a boost to her health, Kate revealed she had completed her preventative chemotherapy treatment in September in an emotional video posted to social media.

Since then, the princess has begun a gradual return to royal duties, appearing for engagements on the Remembrance Weekend in October and hosting her Together at Christmas Carol concert at the start of December.
