Why Queen Sofia has sat on a bench away from her husband and Kings Felipe VI and Letizia

Don Felipe y Mrs. Letizia They have shared a bench with Don Juan Carlos. The three of them were together in the third row in St. George’s Chapel, in Windsor, where the funeral mass was celebrated for the anniversary of Constantine II this Tuesday the 27th in the morning. Doña Sofía was not in that photograph. An absence that has raised some concern. This is the reason why the Queen Emeritus has taken her seat elsewhere.

The Kings of Spain made their appearance in Windsor before 12:00 (Spanish time). The staircase leading to the temple was measured so that they did not coincide with the emeritus Kings. That image of the greeting together has not occurred, but it has occurred on the benches inside the chapel. Also, at the exit, where they gave us the snapshot of the day: father and son, arm in arm. The head of state, very affectionate towards his father, Juan Carlos I, lends her his arm of support. Behind them, the two queens, Doña Letizia and Doña Sofía.

Don Felipe and Doña Letizia have shared a seat with Don Juan Carlos, who has taken his place alongside Princess Benedicta of Denmark, sister of Ana María of Greece. Doña Sofía, who has traveled to London with her sister Irene, was not with her husband but with her Greek family. She has occupied the first bench alongside her nephews, children of the last king of the Hellenes.

Next to Doña Sofía were Irene and Felipe de Grecia, son of Constantine. Felipe VI’s mother has combined her black outfit as a sign of mourning with a blue coat, the color of the Greek flag.. As soon as they entered the chapel of Windsor Castle, the Kings greeted the emeritus with two kisses. Afterwards, they took their seats in the third row. In front of them were the sons of Pablo de Grecia and Carlos Morales.
