Queen Sofía will not go to Leonor’s graduation but grandmother Rocasolano will

Countdown to the big graduation party at UWC Atlantic College of Wales. Second year International Baccalaureate students say goodbye to school and among them is Princess Leonor, who has studied at the prestigious school for the last two years. This Saturday the 20th will be a very special day for the princess of asturias and he will share it with the pillars of his life: his parents, the king philip and the queen letiziaand his sister, the infanta sofia. And since each student had four invitations to the gala, one of his grandmothers will also go: Rock Dove.

The presence of Doña Letizia’s mother leaves Queen Sofía out of the equation, who has always been present at the most important moments in the lives of all her grandchildren. It is well known that the relationship between the emeritus and the Borbón Ortiz sisters is not as fluid and close as she would like, but her absence at the heiress’s graduation has caused a great surprise.

The official excuse is the agenda of Doña Sofía, who is currently in Houston after an American mini-tour in which she has visited Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, as an ambassador of Spanish culture in various events that have been held in recent days. However, there are those who point out that her graduation date has been known for a long time and that, if she had wanted to, Doña Sofía could have scheduled her getaway to the Americas at another time.

The print only reinforces the rumors of the tense and distant relationship between Queen Sofía and her daughter-in-law, Doña Letizia, who did not recover from the famous gesture at the gates of the Mallorca cathedral in 2018. Rough edges have been ironed out, but The emeritus (much to her regret) continues to be an absent grandmother, quite the opposite of the figure of Paloma Rocasolano, who has already become a second mother for the two sisters.
