• Monarchy: The unjust attacks on Doña Sofía, the suffering Queen

Legend has it, fed by the protagonists, that the

then Prince Juan Carlos

asked Princess Sofía's hand shouting

"Sofi, take it!"

as he tossed her a box

containing her engagement ring.

One of those samples of

heartiness

that fell in love with the future Queen of Spain.

In the backroom of that act that will be

70 years old on September 12

- 70! -, an endless number of goings-on that spun

something similar to a love story.

The disappointment of the Greek princess with

Harald of Norway

- who drank the winds for another -,

Franco's

opposition

to

Juanito's

romance

with

María Gabriela de Saboya

and a very clever queen Federica, Sofia's mother, did the rest.

The spark ignited between the future kings.

And boy did it turn on ...

Who could imagine that, seven decades later, everything would end up blowing up?

Of the

"spell" that Juan Carlos claimed to feel

for what was to be his wife, little remains.

Separate in fact, the gestures of Queen Sofia towards her husband's march in Abu Dhabi have been non-existent.

He was neither in his sudden departure nor has he visited him nor is he expected to do so.

Nor would it make sense when the closest she has been to him has been in the Christmas greeting and they weren't even pictured!

Counting that the Emeritus

has pointed to the pandemic as an obstacle

to his return, we have exile for a while.

Oh, if Queen Federica had suspected what was coming.

Maybe I would have played the Norwegian card better.
