U-turn for Queen Sofía After the Announcement Just Made by the Royal Family

This very Monday, Queen Sofía's life took a U-turn with her first public appearance. The emeritus had been occupying a discreet second place for a few weeks, barely attracting media attention. This kind of media retreat has coincided, moreover, with the publication of photos of Leonor in a bikini.

However, the Royal Family deemed it appropriate for Queen Sofía to attend the presentation of Extraordinary Brains today. A campaign that promotes research into neurodegenerative diseases organized by the Queen Sofía Foundation. Thus, this was the setting where the emeritus made her public reappearance.

Queen Sofía Responds to the Call Amid Controversy

The Royal Household has announced the institutional agenda that the members of the Spanish monarchy have for this week. Among the different events of the kings, Queen Sofía has played a prominent role.

The announcement made by the Royal Family responds to Queen Sofía's reappearance after a time occupying a discreet second place. The emeritus's public reappearance comes after a period of media absence and following the scandal of Leonor's photos. The context chosen for this change in Sofía's life was to preside over the official event Extraordinary Brains.

This very Monday, a campaign promoted by the Queen Sofía Foundation was launched to promote research on neurodegenerative diseases. Diagnoses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS are part of Queen Sofía's commitment to these types of diseases.

This event also addressed the need to promote brain donation for study and analysis. All of this is aimed at greater coverage and study by science in the field of neurodegeneration.

Queen Sofía knows firsthand what it means to have a family member with these types of pathologies. Her sister, Princess Irene, is going through a very delicate health moment in a constant fight against Alzheimer's. In fact, part of her limited institutional agenda corresponds to the need to be with Irene and make the most of their time together.

Queen Sofía Reappears Amid Scandal

Queen Sofía's reappearance doesn't occur in a normal context for the Royal Household. It hasn't even been a week since the photos of Leonor in a bikini stirred all the media. Also at Zarzuela, where the publication and commercialization of these images were not liked at all.

It was debated for days about the need to give the matter naturalness, while those photos topped a cover and were sold at a high price. Which is contradictory, since if it is so normal, they shouldn't have caused such a stir nor been commercialized.

Be that as it may, the Royal Household has made a move and, although they did not comment on it, its members have different events this week. It seems to respond to a strategy to eclipse the controversy and emphasize to society the role played by the Spanish monarchy.

Hence, Queen Sofía's reappearance has been seen as the ace up Felipe and Letizia's sleeve. The emeritus is the most valued member of the Royal Family and is an essential piece in the institution's image.

Therefore, it was decided that she would make an appearance today at an event as sensitive as neurodegenerative diseases. This event has served to highlight the importance of scientific research in the fight against diseases that affect thousands of people. Queen Sofía has been a staunch advocate of these issues throughout her life, establishing herself as a reference in the fight.
