Europa Press, KVASVECTOR Royal Household sources confirm the sad news about King Felipe and Queen Sofía
Felipe VI is deeply affected by Princess Irene's health and by the great concern his mother has
King Felipe is going through one of the most sensitive moments on a family level. According to sources from Casa Real, the monarch is deeply affected by the health condition of his aunt, Princess Irene of Greece. However, beyond his direct concern, there is another aspect that moves him: the emotional impact this situation is having on his mother, Queen Sofía.
For weeks, Felipe VI has intensified his visits to the Palacio de la Zarzuela. The residence, shared for years by his mother and his aunt, is now a place marked by prudence, reflection, and restrained pain. What consequences could this delicate moment have on the routine of the Royal Family?
The deterioration of Irene of Greece generates great concern for Queen Sofía
Princess Irene of Greece has been a discreet figure, but very present in the recent history of the Royal Family. Since 1981, she has lived with Queen Sofía at the Palacio de la Zarzuela. There, they have shared a routine based on serenity, spirituality, and a complicity that has always been evident to their closest circle.
Their bond has been a constant for decades. In fact, her role has been essential for her sister's emotional balance. Especially after the abdication of Juan Carlos I and during the subsequent years marked by the institutional transition.
For this reason, the worsening of Irene's health directly affects the mood of the emeritus queen. Queen Sofía already suffered a hard emotional blow with the loss of her brother, Constantine of Greece, just over a year ago.
"Constantine left her with a great void and now the situation with Irene doesn't favor Doña Sofía's mood," add sources from Monarquía Confidencial. The outlet also points out that Casa Real has confirmed that Princess Irene's physical deterioration has worsened in recent months.
For now, there has been no official communication from Zarzuela. However, it has become known that the princess has required continuous medical care, with the utmost discretion kept around her condition.
"Both Zarzuela and Queen Sofía are very aware of the situation, but for the queen this situation is very difficult," sources close to the Palace explain to the outlet. The emotional burden is intense, especially for Doña Sofía, who is facing the possible loss of the person who has accompanied her the most in recent decades.
King Felipe VI intensifies his support for Queen Sofía
The monarch has shown once again his family commitment, intensifying his private visits to the Palacio de la Zarzuela. These visits reflect King Felipe's concern for his mother's emotional well-being during these delicate times.
The king, who has never hidden his respect and affection for his mother, is especially alert to her emotional needs. The situation has rekindled in him a sense of protection that goes beyond the institutional. As a son, he is deeply affected, but also determined to accompany her during these difficult times.
Amid his busy schedule, he has found time to be with his mother and his aunt. These visits take place in the privacy of the palace, without witnesses or cameras, marked by emotional restraint and family closeness. Sources close to King Felipe point out that his concern is twofold: for Irene's health and for Queen Sofía's visible sadness.
The silence of Casa Real reflects the gravity and respect for privacy
As in other similar episodes, Casa Real has opted for institutional silence. There have been no official statements or confirmations. Only details have become known through close sources who, without violating privacy, have hinted that the situation is delicate.
"The atmosphere is one of prudence and reflection, awaiting a possible positive evolution in Princess Irene's condition," explains the outlet specialized in Casa Real. The family trust that the situation will stabilize, although for now the outlook is not encouraging.
It is undeniable that Princess Irene's delicate health condition has emotionally shaken King Felipe and, above all, Queen Sofía. Casa Real faces this difficult moment with discretion, but close sources reveal the depth of the family impact. Will time manage to ease the sadness that now envelops Zarzuela?
