The Queen Sofia (85) goes to a concert. Felipe VI's mother attended this Wednesday, along with her sister Irene of Greece (81), to the only concert by the Indian conductor Zubin Mehta in the capital. The event, which was held at the National Music Auditorium, featured the participation of the Munich Philharmonic and pianist Yefim Bronfman.
Doña Sofía's engagement took place just one day after the 56th birthday of her son, the king. Philip VI, who this Wednesday also presided over the reception of the Diplomatic Corps accredited in Spain together with Mrs. Letizia. The Asturian consort, during the day at the Royal Palace, was the protagonist of a funny anecdote.
The emerita, for her part, has once again shown her commitment to culture. This time, she came accompanied by her sister, who suffers from the ailments of her age. The grandmother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía appeared smiling to enjoy a unique evening for lovers of classical music. King Juan Carlos's wife chose flowing black pants with white floral embroidery. Likewise, Infanta Elena's mother wore an ecru silk top and a sophisticated shawl in the same tone.
As accessories, she opted for high-heeled pumps (something she usually avoids in her outfits), a black handbag and several rings and bracelets. After enjoying this unique show by Zubín Mehta, Queen Letizia's mother-in-law left the National Auditorium amid cheers and applause. She reciprocated with a wave and a smile.
Furthermore, it was the second appointment of the queen emeritus after the signing of the divorce between Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin, which took place two years after the famous photographs of the former handball player with Ainhoa Armentia by Bidart.
