Queen Letizia’s grandmother died a few days ago at the age of 93. The funeral of Menchu Álvarez del Valle took place without her granddaughter.
Sardeu – Shortly after the sad news about the death of Queen Letizias (48) grandmother had made the rounds, Menchu Álvarez del Valle (93, † 2021) was buried. Contrary to initial assumptions, the Spanish regent was not present at the funeral ceremonies.
Queen Letizia and Menchu Álvarez del Valle always had a very special relationship. The monarch’s grandmother worked as a radio presenter at a young age and was later awarded several awards for her journalistic work. Letizia also opted for a career in the media industry and worked as an editor and news anchor before she married into the Spanish royal family in 2004.
She and her granddaughter kept in close contact until Menchu Álvarez del Valles died. King Felipe and the two infants Leonor (15) and Sofía (14) also appreciated the lively Spaniard very much. It is all the more astonishing that no member of the royal family was present at her funeral.
As reported by 24royal.de *, there should have been a valid reason for Queen Letizia’s absence from her grandmother’s funeral. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
