Felipe VI's mother has experienced something very special and important in the last few hours during this Holy Week
The Royal Family is happy and excited about what has happened with Queen Sofía. Exactly, what has happened is that she has been able to enjoy something she hadn't been able to do for 41 years.
No more and no less than, after four decades, she has had the opportunity to experience Holy Week in Seville again. Specifically, the most desired and important procession for many: La Madrugá.
Queen Sofía Moves the Royal Family and Everyone with Her Return to Seville's Holy Week
The last time Queen Sofía experienced Seville's Holy Week was in 1984, accompanied by then-King Juan Carlos I and their three children. Since then, she hadn't witnessed it in person again. Therefore, La Madrugá, a magical night that gathers thousands of faithful and curious people in the city's streets.
This year, King Felipe VI's mother has decided to break with routine and distance herself from the scandals that have affected the Royal Family in recent times. Yes, her husband's infidelities and her daughter Cristina's divorce. Not to mention her husband's controversial lawsuits against Corinna Larsen and Miguel Ángel Revilla.
For this reason, the emeritus queen has chosen to seek refuge in spirituality and tradition, moving to Seville to closely experience Holy Week. Her presence in the Andalusian city has not gone unnoticed and has been received with affection and respect by the Sevillians. This has notably moved her, as well as the Royal Family.
Queen Sofía Experiences Holy Week Intensely
During her stay in Seville, Queen Sofía has visited emblematic places such as the parish of Santa María Magdalena and the sanctuary of Los Gitanos. She has also approached the Brotherhood of Esperanza de Triana, one of the most beloved and revered in the city.
Subsequently, she has presided over the Campana's platform to watch the Gran Poder's passage through the Official Route, one of the most solemn and moving moments of La Madrugá. The images of the queen, visibly moved, have touched the Royal Family and the public in general.
This return to the Holy Week of the Andalusian capital has not only been an act of faith and devotion for Queen Sofía. It has also been a way to reconnect with roots and with a tradition that is part of Spain's history. Her presence has been interpreted as a gesture of closeness and commitment to the people, at a time when the monarchy needs to strengthen its ties with the citizenry.
Moreover, King Felipe VI's mother's participation in La Madrugá has been one of the most notable events of this Holy Week. Her return, after 41 years, has been received with enthusiasm and has served to remind the importance of traditions and the values that unite Spaniards. Undoubtedly, a moment that will remain etched in the collective memory and that strengthens the bond between the Royal Family and the people.
