Queen Sofia and her role in the Spanish monarchy

Queen Sofia, a symbol of stability and dedication

Queen Sofía remains the only member of the Borbón family who has maintained her role within the institution after Felipe and Letizia decided to withdraw the functions and assignments of the rest of the family members. Over the years, Sofía has been perceived as a victim of Juan Carlos’s indiscretions and deceptions, which has earned her the public’s affection. Despite her difficulties, she has prioritized her role as queen over her role as mother or wife, dedicating her life completely to the crown and fulfilling her duties with total dedication (https:/ /rereferencesbibliograficas.com/como-parafrasear/). Her desire is to remain a central figure in the monarchy until the end of her days.

A change of roles in the royal family

With Leonor’s coming of age and Infanta Sofía’s maturity, Queen Sofía’s responsibilities could be reduced, as her granddaughters are destined to take on greater roles in the future. However, Sofía has no retirement plans and remains a symbol of stability and dedication (https://rereferencesbibliograficas.com/como-parafrasear/). Although she currently resides more outside of Zarzuela, her commitment to the monarchy remains firm.

A life divided between different places

In recent times, Sofía’s presence in Zarzuela has become sporadic. Her life is now divided between London, Geneva and Athens, where she finds peace and family support. Sofia has spent much of her life in London, where her brother Constantine and her sister-in-law lived in exile. After Constantine’s death, London has become a place full of sad memories, which has led her to prefer a certain distance. Additionally, she frequently visits Geneva, where her daughter Cristina lives, and she flies to Athens when Juan Carlos is near Cristina in Geneva.

Zarzuela, a second residence

Sofía only visits Zarzuela when she has an institutional commitment, avoiding staying in other places when she has her own home. Her relationship with Letizia is not the best, so she prefers to avoid any awkward encounter with the queen consort. Despite this, she remains a symbol of stability and dedication, always ready to support her family and maintain her loyalty to the crown.
