Philip VI, the great protagonist
Last Wednesday was a historic day for the Royal House, and especially for Felipe VI who became the great protagonist of the day, despite some anecdotes, such as the beautiful toast that Leonor and Sofia requested with tender words with which they broke protocol and thrilled their parent.
A new path for the Royal House
In the last decade, the Royal House has been composed of the kings and their two daughters. When the monarch inherited the throne, he withdrew all functions from his relatives, the crown had been damaged by the misdeeds of John Charles I. The new king had a long way to go to regain the trust of the citizens.
Public humiliations
For this reason they did not want any of the Bourbons to be present. Letizia was also not going to allow Leonor and Sofia to have the slightest public contact with the family of Felipe VI. However, the new public humiliation surprises Queen Sofia, since the emerita still remains part of the institution.
Queen Sofia banned
Queen Sofia asked Felipe VI to attend the celebration for the 10th anniversary of his proclamation, because the king has forbidden his attendance. The emerita was staying in Zarzuela with Irene from Greece. The ex-monarch is fed up with so many humiliations by his family, first by Juan Carlos and now by his son. She is very angry with him and the relationship between them is increasingly strained.
Family distancing
He no longer forgave Letizia for the ugly gesture he had in the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca when she just wanted to hug her granddaughters and take a picture with them. The Queen does not want the Bourbons, and that includes her, to take public photographs with Leonor and Sofia. The surname Borbó must fall into oblivion.
Queen Sofia expresses her displeasure
Queen Sofia reproached Felipe for the treatment received on the anniversary of his proclamation. Felipe VI always visits his mother at night. Walk a short distance from the Prince’s Pavilion to Zarzuela. Sometimes, when his daughters are not around, he has dinner with them. However, this last night has been complicated. Queen Sofia has criticized the treatment received, she has not even been interested in his proclamation. He hasn’t seen it on TV.
Queen Sofia walks away
Angry, she will continue with her institutional obligations, but she has already taken a plane to Almeria, where she has an institutional commitment that will last until Friday afternoon. A perfect excuse to leave the atmosphere of Zarzuela and not cross paths with either Felipe or Letizia. He is very sorry that because of them he does not have a relationship with his two granddaughters.
