Irene of Greece

Irene of Greece is the sister of Queen Sofia of Spain. She is a member of the Greek Royal Family, though Greece abolished its monarchy in 1973. She is currently newsworthy due to reports of her delicate health in the past year, which prevented Queen Sofia from being accompanied by her during Holy Week in Palma de Mallorca last year. This year, Queen Sofia was accompanied by her daughters and granddaughters, suggesting Irene's health may have improved enough to allow for more family support for Queen Sofia. While Irene herself is not directly mentioned as participating in recent events, her health status is a factor influencing Queen Sofia's activities and family gatherings, making her indirectly relevant in news coverage of the Spanish Royal Family.
