They do however both love Felipe, Leonor and Sofia. They also want the best for the Spanish monarchy and have until this incident always shown great respect and admiration for each other. So we do need to put it into that context.
Im guessing you are not and it is not showing any sign of decent behaviour to condemn someone without being aware of all the information.
Again we have this one very unpleasant incident but at the same time we have dozens if not hundreds of events where Sofia and Letizia get on very well and are supportive and complimentary of each other.
Felipe only became king because Sofia's husband and son-in-law caused the institution of the monarchy so much bad press that Juan Carlos realised he could not see it survive without him abdicating.
Since Felipe with the support of his wife and parents has managed to turn things around. Not that they are out of the woods yet.
Sofia is supposed to have sacrificed her personal happiness for the survival of the Spanish monarchy. Why would a daughter-in-law who helps her son achieve a goal she has dedicated her life to be such a bad thing?
Im in no way suggesting Sofia and Letizia are close. They are two women not only from different generations but also from different back ground and with a different outlook on life. So it would be surprising if they were extremely close.
