After analyzing her latest public appearances, the expert in non-verbal communication, Javier Torregrosa, explains that Infanta Sofía usually has a ‘social and false smile’ unlike her sister Princess Leonor, who is always genuinely happier.
“Infanta Sofia’s smile is not a real smile“, Torregrosa said to SEMANA media after analyzing in detail her last 8 public appearances, revealing that Letizia’s youngest daughter only smiles because it is part of the protocol and not because she feels joy.
Torregrosa explained, “It occurs in cases where you do not feel joy, but for social reasons you must smile“, and added, “It would be a smile that, in the world of emotions and microexpressions, is called a ‘social smile’, sometimes also named a false or fake smile“.
He also explained that it is very simple to recognize this type of false smile: “The best indication is the wrinkle that can be seen or not between the lower eyelid and cheekbone“, said the expert, who then showed it in an image where he pointed with a blue arrow at the line of expression that is marked to Princess Leonor when she smiles, unlike her sister.
