Great news for the emeritus, who has finally managed to gather all her offspring under the same roof. It will be that of Marivent, the royal summer palace in Mallorca. The Queen Sofia She will arrive in a few days, accompanied by her inseparable sister Irene, and will prepare the stay for the arrival of her three children and eight grandchildren, a meeting that has not taken place since 2018.
Family estrangement is well known, both inside and outside the palace. The scandal of the Nóos Case added to that of the King Juan Carlos (his problems with Corinna and the Treasury) and the controversial night parties of Froilán and Victoria Federica marked a before and after in family harmony. Felipe VIalready king, decided to reduce the active members of the Royal Family to the hard core (Joy and his daughters), leaving everyone else out to clean up his image and that of the institution that will inherit the princess Eleanor. Since then there has been no Christmas in Zarzuela or holidays together in Mallorca.
The last time the Bourbons met in full was on Queen Sofía’s 80th birthday and it is she who has insisted in the last five years for that image to repeat itself. Finally, this summer Elena, Cristina, Felipe and all their children will meet again in Marivent: Froilán and Victoria Federica de Marichalar; Juan, Pablo, Miguel and Irene Urdangarin and Leonor and Sofía de Borbón. Doña Letizia, of course, will also be there. Not so Don Juan Carlos, for whom the general elections on July 23 have ruined his planned getaway to Sanxenxo.
According to vanity, the kings and their daughters will arrive in Mallorca on July 29, coinciding with the Copa del Rey de Vela. The queen, for her part, will attend the closing ceremony of the Atlántida Film Fest on the 30th. Meanwhile, their daughters will be able to catch up with their cousins and enjoy the Yacht Club, a classic of the royal family.
