Queen Sofia Has Cancelled All Her Engagements Due To Her Sister's Decline

Posted by karenl on January 13, 2026, 7:54 pm

"Queen Sofia has cancelled all of her upcoming engagements after her sister’s health deteriorated.

Sofia, 88, has put all of her diary on hold after her younger sibling, Princess Irene, underwent a decline. It’s understood that Queen Sofia doesn’t want to leave her sister’s side.

Princess Irene has been ill for sometime and Sofia has been a constant support as her health declined.

Just hours before Queen Sofia was due to undertake engagements in Palma de Mallorca, Spain’s royals announced she wouldn’t be attending and said that she needed to be with Irene.

The princess, who is 83, had suffered cognitive decline in recent years and her health has got worse in the past months."

Prayers for Irene and Sofia. It sounds like Irene is transitioning for her final journey. The sisters have always been there for each other,
