It's Official: King Felipe Confirms News on Queen Sofía and Her Entire Image Changes

King Felipe confirmed on International Romani Day how proud he is of Queen Sofía. The emeritus plays a crucial role in the Spanish monarchy and, for her son, she deserves all possible honors. In case there was any doubt about it, an anecdote starring Sofía made Felipe even prouder of his mother.

It happened during the intervention of MEP Juan de Dios Heredia in the Congress of Deputies. He recalled one of his encounters with Sofía, whom he described as "one more Romani," making Felipe smile. The emeritus has fought for the rights of the Romani people from the beginning, which is a source of satisfaction for the king.

King Felipe Confirms His Pride in Queen Sofía

Queen Sofía is one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family and is highly regarded outside the palace. Her composure, poise, and commitments and dedication to the institution support a very positive trajectory as queen. King Felipe is aware of this and has tried to give her the place she deserves within the Spanish monarchy.

The pride Felipe feels for Queen Sofía was confirmed last Tuesday, April 8, on International Romani Day. During the event, MEP Juan de Dios Ramírez Heredia shared an anecdote about Queen Sofía that made Felipe smile. According to him, in one of their encounters, Sofía became so involved with the Romani people that she is considered "one more Romani."

"One of the people who has shown the most interest and tenderness for us has been his mother, Queen Sofía," Heredia commented. It was afterward that he explained how, during a visit to the Royal Palace, Sofía showed interest in the needs of the Romani people. Understanding that they needed more help, she did not hesitate to approach the Minister of Labor to intercede "and ask him for something."

King Felipe's smile upon hearing the story showed pride and affection for his mother, confirming his satisfaction with Sofía. This story starring the queen will be remembered by everyone, but especially by the Romani people and Felipe. Thanks to her intercession, improvements were achieved, and Queen Sofía's involvement with the Romani cause was confirmed.

Another reason that adds to the long list justifying the emeritus as the most beloved figure by the Spanish citizenry. A reason to smile and boast for Felipe, who has inherited her charisma and closeness.

King Felipe is More United Than Ever with Queen Sofía

This pride that King Felipe feels for Queen Sofía is not recent. Since childhood, the king has felt deep respect and admiration for his mother, Queen Sofía, for her constant example of silent dedication. She has represented the Crown with dignity, always keeping balance in difficult moments, providing stability to the institution in times of uncertainty.

In Felipe's own words, his mother has been "a constant example of a sense of duty, responsibility, dignity, and unquestionable loyalty." Last Tuesday, he didn't need words to describe the pride he feels for Queen Sofía. His smile upon hearing Heredia's anecdote was enough to show the enormous affection and admiration he feels for her.

King Felipe is more united than ever with Queen Sofía and she represents an essential pillar for the Royal Family. Her quiet work, without seeking the spotlight, has consolidated a legacy that the king publicly honors whenever he has the opportunity, as he did a few days ago.

In addition to her institutional role, Sofía has cultivated values that have positively marked her son, such as simplicity, social commitment, and empathy. Teachings that he now passes on to his daughters and that are a true reflection of the emeritus's most valuable legacy.
