Surprise Announcement From the Royal House About Queen Sofía and Her Sister: It Will Happen in 3 Days

The Royal Household has officially confirmed the presence of Queen Sofía at a very special event. The appointment will be this Monday, April 14, in Palma de Mallorca, where the emeritus will be accompanied by her sister, Princess Irene of Greece. Both will reappear at an event that has been part of the royal tradition for years.

It is the traditional Easter concert at the Palma Cathedral, a charitable event that will once again be presided over by Doña Sofía. This commitment holds special significance for her, as it is held in benefit of Projecte Home Balears. The organization has been working since 1985 on addiction care and prevention in the islands.

This concert has become a fixed appointment in the agenda of King Felipe VI's mother. Since its first edition in 2007, Queen Sofía has shown a firm commitment to this social cause. This year's edition will be performed by the Symphony Orchestra of the Balearic Islands and the University Choir of the Balearic Islands.

The work selected for this occasion is Gabriel Fauré's Requiem. This piece was composed in the late 19th century for a funeral at the Church of the Madeleine in Paris. Its choice adds a solemn and emotional tone to the concert, which will be held during Holy Week.

Princess Irene Will Enjoy Mallorca

The presence of Princess Irene alongside her sister is not coincidental. It is common for both to share this musical appointment in Mallorca, where they then take the opportunity to rest. In previous years, they have been seen attending Holy Week processions together, as happened on Holy Thursday in 2023.

Queen Sofía keeps a strong bond with the island of Mallorca, a land she feels as her own. Proof of this is that in 2024 the Balearic Government awarded her the Gold Medal of the Islands. A recognition of her involvement with the culture and social causes of the archipelago.

This type of event also shows the discreet yet constant role of the emeritus queen within the institutional agenda. Although she has reduced her public visibility in recent years, Doña Sofía remains very active in charitable and cultural events. Her presence always generates attention and affection from the public.

Only a Few Days Left

The announcement of her reappearance alongside Princess Irene has been received with enthusiasm. The relationship between the two sisters has always been very close, as demonstrated by their frequent joint appearances. This new appointment in Palma reinforces that image of unity and continuity in the Bourbon-Greece family.

Monday's appointment will also be an opportunity to see Queen Sofía in one of her favorite settings. Mallorca has been a personal refuge for her and her family for decades. And her involvement with Holy Week on the island has helped strengthen that emotional and symbolic bond with the place.

With this announcement, the Royal Household marks a new chapter in the emeritus's public agenda. The Easter concert is not only a tradition but an event filled with values that she represents. Culture, solidarity, and family come together in an appointment that promises to be as emotional as it is significant.
