Queen Sofia of Spain waited 20 years to take revenge on Paloma Rocasolano, Letizia’s mother – World

Sofia, mother of King Felipe VI of Spain, never had an easy relationship with Paloma Rocasolano, the mother of Queen Letizia. After the birth of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, the queen emeritus realized that she was being removed by her daughter-in-law from spending time with her granddaughters.

It was Paloma Rocasolano who took over as her granddaughters’ favorite grandmother. She was the former nurse who was called to stay with the girls whenever Letizia was away and it was she who, after all, took on a prominent role with Felipe’s daughters. The queen emeritus felt alienated and, consequently, was jealous of the former nurse.

That was always the reason the two women never had any kind of closeness. Even in public, It was always noticed that there was a lot of distance and coldness between Leonor and Sofia’s two grandmothers. But 20 years later – it was two decades ago in May that Felipe and Letizia got married in the Almudena cathedral – the Greek woman will feel vindicated. Paloma Rocasolano was finally removed from Zarzuela.

Following the scandal caused by Jaime del Burgo, Letizia lost influence and a lot of power. She is no longer the one who sets and arranges at her pleasure and says who can have close contact with her daughters. That’s up to Felipe now and it’s the king who decided he didn’t want his wife’s family around. He even said that Zarzuela is not a hotel. He demanded everyone’s removal, to the delight of Queen Emeritus Sofia.
