Former Queen Sofía of Spain was unexpectedly hospitalized. King Felipe immediately rushed to her bedside, but Queen Letizia did not come with him.
The reason for the hospital stay was a urinary tract infection. It is the first time since January 30, 1968, when she gave birth to Felipe, that the sprightly old queen has had to be hospitalized. The family can breathe a sigh of relief for now, their health is likely to be stable, but given the old age of the former regent, many questions naturally remain unanswered.. Infanta Elena (60), Felipe's sister, also came to visit the sick in a navy-colored outfit with a cap, hat and a scarf around her neck and stayed with her mother throughout the afternoon. After meeting her mother, she left the hospital through the main entrance of the hospital wearing a mask and accompanied by an unknown person, said goodbye and drove off in her car. The Old Queen attended the funeral of her nephew Fernando Gómez-Acebo on Monday.
