Several media outlets in our country have revealed the latest decision Queen Sofía has made regarding Infanta Elena. Following the latest information that has come to light, the monarch didn't hesitate to act for the good of her son and the institution.
There is no doubt that the concern of the emeritus queen keeps increasing due to the growing distance between her children. In fact, the tension has reached such a point that, apparently, she has decided to have a direct conversation with her eldest daughter.
What led Queen Sofía to make this important decision was a revealing report from the CNI. This document indicates that Infanta Elena could be acting behind the scenes to weaken Felipe VI and thus benefit King Juan Carlos I.
Throughout all these years, the Duchess of Lugo has always shown her absolute loyalty to her father. In fact, she has never questioned his actions, not even those related to corruption or his treatment of Queen Sofía.
For her, her father symbolizes the continuity of the traditional monarchy in contrast to the modernization promoted by Felipe and Letizia. In fact, their different points of view are what have caused a notable rift between the siblings.
According to reports, Infanta Elena hasn't forgiven her brother for being one of the driving forces behind their father's abdication in 2015. She also doesn't accept Letizia's influence, who, according to her, intends to "cleanse the institution of anything that smells of a murky past."

According to confidential documents that have just been leaked, Infanta Elena is reportedly behind some of the maneuvers Queen Sofía's husband has carried out in recent months.
In fact, it is said that her involvement is related, among other things, to her father's public appearances or the lawsuits against Corinna Larsen and Miguel Ángel Revilla. A series of moves that have caused great unease within Zarzuela.
Additionally, Infanta Elena is credited with being one of the promoters of the publication of Juan Carlos's memoir, which will go on sale in November. Many interpret this work as a way to pressure the current monarch.
Meanwhile, it has also emerged that Queen Sofía's eldest daughter has been involved in the search for a residence in Portugal for her father. A place he wants to move to after years living in Abu Dhabi.
Faced with this situation, Queen Sofía has decided to intervene, since she doesn't want to see her children continue in conflict or the institution falter again. For this reason, she reportedly called Infanta Elena to ask if she is really behind these maneuvers and has asked her to stop "fueling the conflict" with her brother.
The monarch is tired and doesn't want more confrontations or scandals within her family circle, but everything indicates that her eldest daughter doesn't share that same desire.
