The Borbón family has just been shaken by breaking news that has caused them great anguish. Especially Queen Sofía, who lately has seen her loved ones go through a delicate situation.
Once again, a health problem casts a shadow over the days of the emeritus, who will notice that this summer in Marivent will be much more complicated. The illness of her sister Irene has been joined by that of another person very dear to the Borbón family.
The Borbón family and Queen Sofía receive worrying news
The holidays in Marivent haven't started well for Queen Sofía. She already foresaw a complicated August because of Irene of Greece's health. What neither she nor the Borbón family expected was that another very close member would have health problems.
We're talking about Tatiana Radziwill, a close friend of Queen Sofía and a person very dear within the Borbón family. Tatiana has suffered from severe health problems since she had a stroke a few years ago that left her in a wheelchair. Since then, she has struggled with mobility difficulties.
Queen Sofía, despite enjoying good health, now bears the emotional burden of caring for two women very close to her, Tatiana and Irene. Her concern is evident, and she's more alert than ever to the friend who has accompanied her for decades.
Radziwill is usually a regular in Marivent, where she shares her daily life with the Borbón family. They make sure she lacks nothing, even though Tatiana has her husband, her two children, and her grandchildren. So her life is full, although limited by her health problems.
The stroke she suffered has left visible aftereffects. She needs assisted mobility and her presence at family events has decreased. Leonor and Sofía were seen manually pushing her wheelchair during recent moments in Mallorca, a significant gesture of the Borbón family's affection.
However, this year Marivent is tinged with concern over the health of Tatiana and Irene of Greece. Both need a lot of attention and, everything suggests, that Queen Sofía won't leave their side at any time.
The Borbón family welcomes Queen Sofía's best friend in Mallorca
Despite her physical limitations, Tatiana has always shown interest in science, art, and culture. She studied bacteriology in Paris, speaks several languages, and has accompanied Queen Sofía on many official trips.
Every summer she usually visits Mallorca, where she shares family dinners in Puerto Portals with Queen Sofía. That simple gesture reflects the emotional closeness within the Borbón family. This summer, her reduced presence has caused concern.
She has been less active in family circles and her visits to Mallorca could be reduced. That has intensified the attention and care she receives from those close to her. Queen Sofía's attitude is remarkable: she keeps constant contact with Tatiana and her family.
Their bond goes beyond friendship; it's an emotional tie of decades that today translates into emotional support and daily care. In addition, Radziwill also has a very close relationship with Irene of Greece, with whom she often shares moments in Mallorca.
However, Tatiana's health problems foreshadow a very difficult summer for Queen Sofía. Although the Borbón family is very alert to her, her limitations have increased in recent months.
The emeritus can only watch the physical and mental decline of two of the most important people in her life. Without a doubt, the most complicated and difficult summer for her and the Borbón family.
