    The question about King Juan Carlos to Queen Sofia got a rather particular answer. The sovereign emeritus was approached by a journalist who did not miss the opportunity to learn about the emeritus Juan Carlos when Sofía was at the BMW Painting Awards at the Teatro Real.

    The controversy that caused the exile imposed by the king when he announced on August 3 that he was leaving the country, in addition to the investigation into his finances and last but not least, the statements of Corinna Larsen make the emeritus targets for all comments.

    Question about King Juan Carlos to Queen Sofia

    The queen could not calmly enjoy the ceremony where she received a loud ovation that showed all the support she has despite the image that the Spanish monarchy currently has.

    At the gala, the day before the Princess of Asturias Awards, the journalist approached the sovereign to ask her the controversial question as she proceeded to enter the Reconquista hotel where the BMW Painting Awards would be presented in the Covadonga room, the place she replaced to the Campoamor theater as a result of the pandemic.

    “Doña Sofía, good afternoon, how are you?” Said the journalist while she was away from the sovereign so that she could maintain a safe distance and avoid contagion of covid-19.

    “Have you had contact with Juan Carlos?”, He asked, while the Queen continued walking and without turning to look at her, he replied: “Oh, what a question.”

    Definitely a moment to remember, especially before the ceremony that would bring the kings and the emeritus together for the first time in months.
