Queen Sofia’s life has always been relegated to the background. In the shadow of King Juan Carlos she has managed to escape unscathed from all the collateral damage that her still husband has caused after his economic dealings and his double life with Corinna Larsen came to light. The latter may have been the greatest humiliation she has felt by the emeritus in her entire life, even more than all the rudeness she has suffered from him and that have been made public with the passage of time.
December and Don Juan Carlos seems to continue to view his desire to return to Spain from a distance. However, Doña Sofía continues with her discreet life without looking back and facing this Christmas, although there has been much talk about the return of the emeritus, it seems to be the same … but, are these the worst Christmas of the mother of King Felipe? In the long life of Doña Sofía there have been very painful years, but the truth is that in the face of society she has never shown her regret. Especially in 2014, when her daughter, Infanta Cristina, and her son-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarin, had been prosecuted for the ‘Caso Nóos’, without knowing if they would enter prison.
A date that has not been able to forget also for other reasons, such as the abdication of Don Juan Carlos I as King of Spain for his extramarital affairs with Corinna and see the light the business he had had with the Saudi oligarchy. A whole series of critical antecedents that made the emeritus take the hardest decision, which also affected his wife.
That year, Doña Sofía had the unconditional presence of her sister, Irene of Greece, but not the warmth of her children. On the one hand, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia celebrated Christmas with Paloma Rocasolano, and Infanta Elena traveled with her children to Switzerland to be by the side of Infanta Cristina, who was going through one of the worst moments of her life.
