The start of the week has left Casa Real facing a new media front. Information linked to Queen Sofía and her sister Irene of Greece. The exclusive has triggered a wave of reactions and a genuine media stir.
The revelation hasn't gone unnoticed at Palacio de la Zarzuela, where discretion is the rule. This time, the matter has even surprised King Felipe VI, who hasn't hidden his reaction upon learning the content of the exclusive.
The premiere of a show that starts strong
The TEN network, together with Canal Quickie, has launched a new evening program titled No Somos Nadie. The format, hosted by María Patiño, promised current affairs, debate, and entertainment. Its first day on air didn't disappoint.
The show started with regular contributors such as Belén Esteban and Alberto Guzmán. It also featured other well-known faces from the television world. From the beginning, attention focused on a story that quickly became the main topic.
Social media quickly picked up what happened on set. Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube filled with messages and comments. Thousands of viewers made the premiere a national trending topic.
The exclusive about Queen Sofía
The revelation featured Queen Sofía and her sister, Princess Irene of Greece. Both reportedly experienced an unexpected situation during a shopping trip at a clothing store. The information allowed the show to premiere with a high-impact exclusive that immediately captured the public's attention.
According to the account shared on the show, Queen Sofía showed complicity with a man while she was trying on a jacket. The scene surprised those present and didn't go unnoticed by the contributors. "I love how you look," said the emeritus queen with complete spontaneity and in a warm tone to this man, who remains unknown until now.
The most striking thing, and what left contributors and viewers astonished, was the emeritus queen's subsequent gesture toward this man. When she saw that the man decided to buy the garment, Sofía decided to pay for it herself. She instructed one of her bodyguards to hand over €500 in cash to the sales assistant.
Reactions and Casa Real's shielding
No official statement has been released from Palacio de la Zarzuela regarding the matter. However, sources close to the situation say that Felipe VI received the news with surprise. His reaction reflects the discomfort this information has caused in the queen's closest circle.
The gesture doesn't imply a scandal in formal terms, but it does break the usual image of sobriety associated with Queen Sofía. For many, her spontaneous attitude seemed friendly and approachable. Others, however, described it as an inappropriate act for an institutional figure.
The truth is that the launch of No Somos Nadie has exceeded all expectations. If this is the tone of the exclusives it is preparing, competition in afternoon television could intensify. Casa Real, meanwhile, chooses to shield itself from new revelations.
