Sofia the First’s father, Birk Balthazar, is presumed to have passed away before the events of the series.
In the Disney Junior series “Sofia the First,” Sofia’s biological father is not a character that is actively present in the storyline. The show begins after Sofia’s mother, Miranda, has married King Roland II, making Sofia a princess. The absence of Sofia’s biological father is not directly addressed in the series, leading to the presumption that he has passed away, although the details surrounding his absence are never explicitly explained.
The show focuses on Sofia’s adjustment to royal life after her mother’s marriage to King Roland II, who becomes her stepfather. Sofia’s father’s backstory is not explored in depth, as the series aims to concentrate on the themes of kindness, generosity, and the challenges Sofia faces as she learns to navigate her new life as a princess. The lack of information about Sofia’s biological father is a narrative choice that allows the show to center on Sofia’s development and her experiences in the royal world.
