• Genetics The resemblance of Princess Eleanor with her great-great-grandmother Victoria Luisa of Prussia, who fell in love with the son of a rival family to hers

  • Sofía style moves away from the classic look and monopolizes the spotlight in her first act without her sister Leonor

Genetics are as mysterious as they are random. If Bourbon genes are weapons to take, the Greek genes also leave their mark. And if not, just look at the photographs of Sofía de Borbón (14) and her great-aunt, Princess Irene (79), being a teenager to see that they have quite similar features. Queen Sofía's little sister is one of the most beloved characters for her

discretion and availability to those most in need

, hence her continuous travels and stay in India, a country that she considers her third homeland. The first, obviously, is Greece and the second,

Spain, her place of residence

since her mother, Queen Federica, died in 1981 due to an aesthetic operation, so she was 'adopted' in the Zarzuela palace.

Single, without children, without fortune

and without giving importance to clothing, hairstyles or jewelry, the Infanta Irene has always known how to be in her place, always protected by her sister. In fact, in the last events in which they have been seen together, it has been seen that

Doña Sofía does not separate from her

, since Irene is deaf and, apparently, does not want to wear a hearing aid. His last major public appearance was at the great Greek wedding of his nephew Philippos of Greece (35) with Nina Flohr (33) in the Orthodox cathedral of Athens.

During his youth he

had some suitors, but they did not come to fruition

. Before her twenties she was in love with her cousin

Mauricio de Hesse

(son of Felipe de Hesse-Kassel and Mafalda de Savoya) and it was commented that they tried to match her with the future King

Harald of Norway

, but he already had the firm intention of marrying the commoner Sonja Haraldsen. There was something serious with Prince

Michael of Orléans

, son of Miguel de Orléans, Count of Paris and pretender to the French throne, but left her to marry Béatrice Marie Pasquier de Franclieu, also known as Beatrice de Orléans or 'Beatrice Dior', for being the former public relations and ambassador of the house French in Spain.

Likewise, it has been rumored that he had a love affair with the former priest

Jesús Aguirre

, who was the husband of the Duchess of Alba.

More reasonable similarities

If the Infanta Sofía looks like her great aunt, it should be remembered that her sister Leonor, Princess of Asturias, bears a lot of resemblance to her great-great-great-grandmother Victoria Luisa of Prussia, whose blood roam different shades of blue belonging to the Greece, Denmark, Hannover, Prussia and England. Not surprisingly, she was the only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the last German emperor and grandson of Queen Victoria of England, a key figure in history (thanks to her all European monarchies are related). The kaiser is the

great-grandfather of Queen Sofia and Princess Irene

. And to frame it in a more current environment, both are first

cousins ​​of Ernesto de Hannover

(67), the still husband of Carolina de Mónaco (64) who has a special relationship with Claudia Stilianopoulos (48), Pitita Ridruejo's daughter.
