King Juan Carlos once remarked in conversations with his lover Bárbara Rey about his wife, Queen Sofía: 'As a professional, she plays a number one role.' The mother of King Felipe VI continues to fulfill her official commitments with her best smile. However, it seems that for some time now, she has not been experiencing her best moments. This was revealed by journalist Marisa Martín Blázquez on the program 'Fiesta' this past weekend, and it was also commented on a few days ago by Pilar Eyre. It even seems that the awarding of the Collar of the Insigne Order of the Golden Fleece is precisely a public recognition of 'her dedication and service to Spain and the Crown' during one of her most 'delicate' moments.

And indeed, in addition to the controversies surrounding the figure of King Juan Carlos, the health condition of Doña Irene, the emeritus queen's sister and for decades 'her faithful companion,' as Blázquez described, has added to the situation. 'She has traveled to different places, always lived with her in Zarzuela and in summer in Marivent (Palma de Mallorca). Now, unfortunately, her sister Irene is in a quite delicate health situation and can no longer travel as much with her,' she detailed.

A situation that deeply saddens the monarch and that she has been managing while having to hear how her husband spoke about her and her family with his former lover, Bárbara Rey. 'The whole story that has come out regarding Bárbara Rey and her husband's infidelity has hurt her a lot. And it hasn't hurt her so much because she didn't know the story, but because messages have been spread talking about her family, her children, her, and the relationship she had with the King,' the journalist explained.

In the same vein, Pilar Eyre stated a few days ago that the 'apparent composure' of Queen Sofía 'has broken in this last year.' 'The statements of Bárbara Rey have plunged her into misery, and Sofía has been deeply sad and embarrassed,' she affirmed. 'I have been told that she is in a situation of loneliness,' Eyre assured. An aspect that was exacerbated after the publication of photographs of King Juan Carlos surrounded by his daughters, grandchildren, and their partners on the occasion of his birthday. 'That story that has come out of all her grandchildren, the girlfriends and boyfriends of her grandchildren, and her two daughters, has also plunged her into a certain sadness. She finally sees herself very alone,' confirmed Marisa Martín Blázquez.

'Sad, dejected, and more alone than ever,' according to the journalist, it seems that the queen is going through 'perhaps, the worst moment of her life,' despite the awarding of the Golden Fleece, which will be presented to her next February, as it seems that the connection with King Felipe and Queen Letizia is not as frequent or close as one might imagine. Her son's gesture seeks to elevate her image in this challenging time, in which, according to Pilar Eyre, it has become more than clear what her greatest service to the Crown has been: 'Not putting her husband's suitcase at the door, despite his continuous and public infidelities and humiliations.'
