In people's impressions, Queen Sophia has always been down-to-earth in her royal duties, and people evaluate her as an approachable, cautious, humble and patient queen.
As a modern royal family, the current royal family members are only the spokespersons of the national image of "window dressing".
Therefore, the law stipulates that members of the royal family are required to maintain their own neutrality, and no royal family member can express any opinions or positions on politics and sensitive topics.
Most of the time, Queen Sophia is silent, but that doesn't mean she's all-encompassing.
Queen Sofia experienced one of its worst public opinion crises in 2008 when royal journalist Pilar Urbano wrote a biography for Queen Sophia, A Close Look at the Queen, which quoted Queen Sophia's opposition to LGBTQIA (X minority) marriage.
In her biography, Sophia talks about her faith and education, as well as the difficulties of her generation, and strangely avoids controversial topics such as euthanasia and abortion, but she has spoken out against LGBTQIA marriages.
It's worth noting that Queen Sofia is still one of Spain's most popular royals, and only the biographical views have shaken her popularity and ruined the positive image she has carefully maintained for decades.
Juan Diaz-Nicolás, a professor of sociology in Spain, said: "I think people are not surprised by this view of the queen, they are surprised that the queen said such a thing".
Because Queen Sofia's remarks had a profound negative impact on herself and the entire royal family, the Spanish royal family had to come out and say: "The Queen is deeply sorry for the discomfort and offense caused by her inaccurate statements." ”
In many cases, this topic is listed as the most sensitive topic, and even politicians avoid it, so why did Queen Sophia choose this topic at that time to express her thoughts?
The most important biography was published in 2008, the years around 2008 when Juan Carlos I and his lover Corinna were at their sweetest.
At that stage, Juan Carlos I even had Corinna move with her son to live near the Sazuela Palace, of course, because it was so that they could meet at any time.
It was at this time that the obsessed Juan Carlos I filed for divorce from Queen Sofia.
At that time, Juan Carlos I already regarded Corinna as a lifelong partner, although he did not have the name of queen and did not give her any title, but when he traveled abroad, Juan Carlos I was accompanied by Corinna instead of his wife Sofia.
Juan Carlos I has always asked for a divorce from Sophia for various reasons, and this time period is also the time when Sophia makes such remarks.
At first, Juan Carlos I was just a little-known person, but it was Sofia, the Greek princess, who had a very deep influence on him.
However, after ascending the throne, Juan Carlos I felt that Queen Sofia had no value to use.
Since then, Juan Carlos I has not hidden his nature, he has cheated on him many times, and he has been caught by Queen Sophia many times.
For him, only by getting rid of Queen Sophia can he gain true freedom, and it is clear that a negative image is the best weapon.
That is to say, part of the view is that Queen Sofia's words were exploited, and Juan Carlos I was the initiator of this.
Interestingly, Felipe VI and Queen Letizia have always supported the X minority, including the legalization of their marriages.
Obviously, Queen Sophia's remarks will cause disgust and disgust among some people, although she has said that she supports the X minority, but she does not support the legalization of marriage.
The authenticity of Pilar Urbano's biography was questioned, but Pilar Urbano denied it and stated that it had been reviewed and approved by the queen's office.
Therefore, some royal experts believe that Queen Sophia may have been guided by some people to make this statement, who probably had ulterior motives.
He thought it strange for someone like Queen Sophia to say this sensitive topic, since her German cousin was also a minority X, and there was no need for her to say such things, so the authenticity of this biography is questionable.
González Ponse, leader of Spain's opposition People's Party, expressed his displeasure with Queen Sofia's remarks, arguing that royals should not get involved in politics.
He felt that the king and queen were like a banner of Spain, that they were pioneers and exemplary roles, and that they should be more sensitive to their words.
Although the modern royal family has little real power left, the internal contradictions of the royal family are still riddled, and this ancient institution is still full of risks, and if you are not careful, you will become a "trapper".
In fact, being cautious and cautious in words and deeds is the way of the modern royal family, and only by following the trend can we settle down in the royal family and protect your life.
