The news of Princess Sofia's birth reignited Spain, but did not cause as much of a sensation as Prince Juan Fernando.
This was normal, after all, Juan Fernando is Carlo's eldest son and the future heir to the Spanish throne, attracting attention from foreign governments and high-level authorities was quite usual.
Although Sofia's identity is equally noble, she is, after all, just a princess, and only a few royal families from Italy, Austria-Hungary, and some countries with blood ties to Spain sent congratulations.
Compared to the birth of Spanish Princess Sofia, European countries were clearly more focused on Queen Victoria's coronation as Empress of India.
As early as May 1876, the United Kingdom had already reached this conclusion, and Queen Victoria had formally become Empress of India, acquiring the title of Emperor.
Becoming an emperor certainly requires a coronation ceremony, and since it was for the Indian throne, the coronation ceremony could only be held in India.
