• Leisure The outing of the Queen, her daughters and Doña Sofía's girls: dinner and market without the King

This past Saturday, after

handing over the Copa del Rey sailing trophies

at the Ses Voltes venue, Don Felipe flew direct from Palma

to Bogotá

, where on Sunday he attended the

inauguration of

the new president, Gustavo Petro.

Everyone hoped that, with the Monarch absent and his traditional week of official commitments on the island over, the Queen and her daughters

would fly away,

like years past.

But Doña Letizia, Leonor and Sofía, who on Friday already had dinner in the company of the King, with Doña Sofía and her sister Irene in Ola de Mar, not only remained on the island, but also gave

the great surprise

of the summer by organizing a dinner this Sunday girls again with Queen Sofia.

The chosen restaurant was the Beatnik Palma, specializing in

American cuisine,

which belongs to the Puro hotel, an 18th-century establishment located

in the Sa Llotja neighbourhood.

Later, the four

walked through the market

that the artisans set up in this neighborhood, and toured their stalls.

The Queen and her daughters, outside the institutional agenda, stood out for

their miniskirt outfits

by the Zara firm, complete with

espadrilles

with matching ribbons and long hair in the wind: Doña Letizia wore a youthful pink and white minidress, Leonor (16), who was of the protocol also points to the mini, she wore a

very short blue and white dress,

and her sister Sofia (15) also showed off her legs with a

white model

that she has already repeated on occasion.

Although other summers before Covid, Doña Sofía had been seen with Queen Letizia and her granddaughters at concerts, markets, family commitments and other activities in Palma, it is

the first time that the four of them have gone to a private dinner

together without Don Felipe.

Something that has attracted attention, especially because until now the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not

too close.

This summer, however, it seems that things have changed and already at Marivent's reception on Thursday, a

special harmony

between the two was perceived.

This Mallorcan summer seems to have become

balsamic for the Royal Family,

and the conflicts that have occurred within it years ago seem to be gradually being

overcome

.

This is what has also happened with King

Felipe and his sister, the

Infanta Cristina

,

whose relationship broke down as a result of the Nóos case breaking out and after his brother withdrew the title of Duchess of Palma in 2015. Don Felipe did not conceive of the

obsession of the Infanta for supporting her husband,

despite the damage her shenanigans did to the Crown.

Urdangarin's betrayal after coming to light

his parallel relationship

with Ainhoa ​​Armentia and his

mediatic separation

from him, left his wife, whom the entire Family is

trying to support,

including the Monarch, at the foot of the horses.

The proof is the presence of

Cristina de Borbón this summer at Marivent

with his sons Pablo and Miguel, because since 2013 he has not set foot in Palma.

And above all that lunch that King Felipe shared with his little sister and his nephews, which was also attended by Froilán and Victoria Federica, children of Infanta Elena, on July 28, the day he arrived on the island, organized by Queen Sofía .

The great absentee from this

summer of

Bourbon rapprochement has been Don Juan Carlos, who remains in Abu Dhabi, after

his May visit to Sanxenxo,

where almost 300 journalists gathered and was received by the scent of crowds.

Given the discomfort caused by his media trip in the Sánchez government, he has decided

not to set foot in Spain

for the moment to avoid controversies that damage the Crown.

Decision that he took as a result of later meeting with Don Felipe in Zarzuela, with whom the relationship was very touched, although according to the environment of the King father,

the tension has softened

between father and son and since then they have recovered telephone contact.
