Queen Sofia Recovering From Infection

Queen Sofia was rushed to the hospital in Madrid earlier this week with what media outlets describe as a urinary tract infection.

King Felipe’s mother, 85, has been at several public events in recent weeks. She’s at the Ruber Internacional Hospital not far from her home at Zarzuela Palace.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia have been seen visiting Queen Sofia at the hospital. She’s expected to recover.

Queen Sofia is known for healthy eating and athleticism, and has generally been in good health. Her sister, Princess Irene, is said to be in more delicate health.
