Unconditional support
Queen Sofia and Felipe VI demonstrate great complicity. For the current king, his mother has always been a very important pillar in his life, both in the family and institutional spheres. Today, she is the only one who remains in the crown in the role of emerita due to her status as a victim of the misdeeds of Juan Carlos. The ex-monarch has always been much loved by the public and a thousand times compared to Letizia, a very long shadow from which the current queen has had a hard time shedding. For Sofia, Felipe is also very important. Not only is she very proud of him for his career as king, but he is also the love of her life. He has always protected and defended her. He was the youngest of the family. She herself stood up against Juan Carlos when necessary. In fact, although he did not love Letizia for his son, if he was happy, he personally pledged to train her to make her the best queen of Spain.
A close relationship
Although they live a kilometer apart, Felipe visits his mother and Irene from Greece every day. He says goodnight to them and returns home with a thump. The king takes it easy with Queen Sofia, he has no secrets from her. The emerita already knew that her son’s marriage was in trouble, it wasn’t working. In 2010, according to journalist Laura Rodríguez, the kings decided to stop holding each other and put an end to their relationship. Queen Sofia advised him not to live a lie. She lived in hell for many years with the marriage of Juan Carlos, and although she did everything possible to love him, he paid for it with countless infidelities and humiliations.
A new stage
Felipe and Letizia have decided to stop pretending to be a happy family. He knows perfectly well that Felipe and Letizia would have opted for the cessation of cohabitation, advised by Queen Sofia, as Jaime Peñafiel said. Everyone lives their lives separately at the moment. And proof of this is all the weekends that have been spent apart in these last months. Since Jaime del Burgo’s statements were made public, they have decided not to pretend anymore.
Moments of solitude
A few days ago Felipe VI was seen in the center of Madrid shopping, completely alone. Or so it seems, because he could be accompanied by this mysterious woman of unknown identity that the escorts are responsible for hiding. A few days ago, last Tuesday, May 28, Leonor and Sofia’s father went to dinner with some friends at a well-known restaurant in the Chamberí neighborhood. Once again he was not accompanied by Letizia. He met with four men and three women. And that his schedule that day had been too tiring.
Queen Sofia’s advice
Queen Sofia sees it as normal for her son to live his life away from Letizia, but reminds him not to forget that he is king. You have to watch the forms a lot. Lately there is no talk of anything else and it puts the crown in jeopardy. He asks her to do it more discreetly. Surely, the emerita has also had relationships beyond Juan Carlos but they have never been made public due to the discretion that characterizes him.
