The top expert on Queen Sofía doesn't hesitate to point out her biggest mistake: it's Felipe

The most renowned expert makes a statement that casts doubt on years of silence and changes the perception

Queen Sofía is a woman who has learned to live her story with serenity; she has done so even when everything seemed uphill. Discreet, constant, and with a strong sense of duty, her presence has been essential for the Royal House. There are few figures in royalty who convey so much without the need for words, as Queen Sofía does.

Last Friday, she reappeared alongside King Felipe VI at an official event for the 30th anniversary of the Spanish Federation of Food Banks. At this joint activity, it became clear that Queen Sofía and King Felipe VI share much more than royal blood. However, it also became evident what a great mistake the queen made.

The love of Queen Sofía: unconditional

At the official event, mother and son appeared close, complicit, and connected, as is rarely seen at public events. Journalist Pilar Eyre, one of the most authoritative voices on Spanish royalty, is certain about it. For her, the "only and true love" of Queen Sofía is her son Felipe.

The journalist has stated that the emeritus queen once said that "she was in love" with her son. This testimony reveals a deep emotional relationship. Eyre states: "She has pampered him, she has spoiled him, she has personally educated him," and even claims that she loved him "more than his sisters."

Every time Queen Sofía and King Felipe VI meet again, their expression says it all: pure pride. Eyre also believes that the queen sees in Felipe the proof that her life has had meaning.

Felipe VI's gesture toward Queen Sofía

At the event with FESBAL, Felipe didn't leave his mother's side. He took her by the arm, spoke to her ear, and cared for her with every movement. For Eyre, it wasn't a coincidence. It was a public show of support during difficult times for her, after years of scandals, the deterioration of her institutional role, and the loss of loved ones.

Although "she doesn't have a good relationship with her daughter-in-law," according to the journalist, Felipe visits her daily and they share Sunday Mass at Zarzuela. The son's protection is now her greatest refuge.

The expert recalls that the king recently awarded her the Order of the Golden Fleece, the highest Spanish distinction. Although the formal ceremony hasn't been seen yet, perhaps it was an intimate act. The queen's unconditional love could hide a questionable decision for never ceasing to put duty and her son first.
