A conflicted past
The relationship between Sofia and Columbus has never been easy. Since the wedding of Felipe and Letizia, there have been tensions and disagreements between the two royal families. At that time, Jesús Ortiz, Letizia’s father, was asked not to come accompanied by his partner. This fact marked the beginning of a strained relationship between Sofia and Columbus.
Humiliations and disagreements
The first major humiliation took place during the wedding of Felipe and Letizia. According to the protocol, Sofia had to accompany her son, but this responsibility was taken by Juan Carlos, Felipe’s father. This fact generated negative comments and caused great discomfort to Letizia’s family. Since then, tensions between Sofia and Columbus have been on the rise.
A broken relationship
The relationship between Sofia and Columbus has deteriorated over time. Differences and disagreements have been constant, and this has affected coexistence between the two royal families. In addition, humiliations and negative comments have contributed to creating a climate of permanent tension.
Benefits and privileges
Despite the differences and conflicts, Sofia has used her relationship with Columbus to gain benefits and privileges. Being the mother of the Queen of Spain has opened doors for her to exclusive restaurants and luxury shops. In addition, he has enjoyed official cars and had access to exquisite meals. However, since the beginning of the smear campaign against the monarch, Sofia has lost these privileges and the Bourbons have recovered the lost space.
A complex relationship
In short, the relationship between Sofia and Columbus has been complicated from the beginning. Tensions, humiliations and disagreements have marked this relationship, which has deteriorated over time. However, Sofia has used her position to gain benefits and privileges, although she has now lost that influence.
