Queen Sofia continues to actively participate in the agenda of the Royal House, but her public appearances are not only due to the events she has officially scheduled and, for example, her unexpected weekend plan. This Sunday, coinciding with her mother’s day, the mother of King Felipe VI surprised those attending the final of the Mutua Open in Madrid when appearing in one of the VIP boxes in the stands. Next to her were her eldest daughter, Infanta Elena, and her grandson Miguel, son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin. In addition, and although not with them, she also enjoyed the game Victoria Federica, daughter of Doña Elena, who did not hesitate to approach her family to greet them, being very affectionate with her mother, her grandmother and her cousin .
The presence of Doña Sofía at the event did not go unnoticed and there were several well-known faces who came to greet Juan Carlos I’s wife. The footballer Luis Figo was one of them, and whatever they talked about managed to make the Queen Emerita a huge smile. But if his complicity stood out with someone, it was with Piru Urquijo, grandmother of Teresa Urquijo and also of Juan, the young man who is related to his granddaughter Irene Urdangarin. The friendship between both women is historic, with José Luis Martínez Almeida’s wedding being the last event in which, at least publicly, they were together before this great event for sport.
It was also a surprise that Elena and Sofía went to the Caja Mágica accompanied by Miguel Urdangarin. Recently operated after suffering a skiing accident, the latest information that has been known about the son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin is that he has taken a sabbatical year. Miguel studied marine biology at the University of Southampton, but he was currently training as a ski instructor. Since after his injury he cannot continue with his classes, at least for now, the young man has decided to stop to undertake personal projects, according to the magazine. HELLO. Whether these matters have caused him to settle in Spain is something that has not yet emerged, but until now it was assumed that his residence was in Geneva, with his mother.
