About the Book

Coincidiendo con la celebración de su ochenta aniversario, Jaime Peñafiel desvela un recorrido íntimo y personal repleto de fotografías familiares de la reina más sufridora, pero a la vez más querida por la opinión pública.

Peñafiel repasa los acontecimientos más importantes de Sofía en su papel más desconocido: el de esposa, madre y abuela.

Ochenta años dan para mucho: alegrías y llantos, momentos felices y otros no tan gozosos... Pero, sobre todo, es una buena ocasión para repasar lo vivido. Doña Sofía, reina emérita de España y, sin duda, el miembro más querido de la Familia Real española, tiene pocos motivos para celebrar su aniversario: sin apenas contacto con su marido, soporta como puede la humillación del destierro de su hija Cristina y el encarcelamiento de su yerno Iñaki Urdangarin. Y, por si no fuera suficiente, la relación con sus nietas Leonor y Sofía no es todo lo idílica que cabría esperar, como se demostró en el triste episodio de la catedral de Mallorca, que no lograron borrar con el paripé que la reina Letizia y la propia Sofía protagonizaron unos días después, simulando ser la familia ideal a las puertas del hospital adonde habían acudido para visitar a don Juan Carlos.

Jaime Peñafiel, uno de los periodistas que mejor conoce a la soberana, nos repasa, capítulo a capítulo, la historia de su vida, una vida que poco tiene que ver con la de las reinas y princesas de los cuentos de hadas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Coinciding with Queen Sofía's 80th birthday, Jaime Peñafiel delivers an intimate, personal tour filled with family photographs of the most long-suffering yet beloved queen of Spain.

Peñafiel examines the most important events in Sofía's life in her lesser-known roles: those of wife, mother, and grandmother.

A lot can fit into eighty years: joy and tears, happy moments and less enjoyable ones... but above all, it is a good occasion to take stock of a life. Sofía, former queen of Spain, and without a doubt the most beloved member of the Spanish royal family, has little cause for celebration: nearly no contact with her husband, the humiliation of her daughter Cristina's exile, and the imprisonment of her son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarin. And if that weren't enough, her relationship with granddaughters Leonor and Sofía isn't as idyllic as it could be, as demonstrated in the sad episode in the Mallorca cathedral, which wasn't erased by the scene put on by Queen Letizia and Sofía herself a few days later, pretending to be the ideal family at the doorway of the hospital where they were visiting King Juan Carlos.

Jaime Peñafiel, one of the journalists who knows the queen best, reveals to us, chapter by chapter, the story of her life: a life that has little to do with that of fairly tale queens and princesses.

About the Author: Jaime Peñafiel nació en Granada en un precioso carmen del Albaicín, frente a La Alhambra, en el seno de una familia numerosa. Tras estudiar Derecho en la Universidad granadina -por aquello de ser nieto de un ilustre magistrado-, optó después por Periodismo, primero en la Escuela Oficial de Madrid y, más tarde, en la Universidad de Navarra. Después de dos años trabajando como ayudante de picador en las Ulleras de Sabero, en León, su primer encargo como periodista fue en la agencia Europa Press, donde cubrió el viaje de Pablo VI, el primer Papa que abandonaba el Vaticano para visitar Tierra Santa y más tarde Turquía. A este le siguieron las coronaciones de Juan XXIII, Juan Pablo I y Juan Pablo II. Pero también estuvo presente en los terremotos de Perú, Irán y Agadir; la guerra de los Seis Días, la de Ifni, la guerra entre Argelia y Marruecos y otros conflictos bélicos, así como el asalto al transatlántico lusitano Santa María por Henrique Galvâo o la llegada del capitán Etayo a la isla de San Salvador, emulando a Cristóbal Colón.

Pero sin duda Jaime Peñafiel es conocido por sus reportajes sobre la realeza: testigo de excepción de los funerales de Federico de Dinamarca, Grace en Mónaco, Diana de Gales en Londres, Husein en Ammán, el sah de Persia en El Cairo, ha asistido también a más de cincuenta bodas reales y a las coronaciones del sah y su esposa Farah Diba, Juan Carlos, el emperador Bokassa en Centroáfrica, Beatriz de Holanda y su hijo Guillermo, Margarita de Dinamarca, Carlos Gustavo de Suecia, Harald de Noruega y Constantino de Grecia. Además, ha acompañado a los reyes Juan Carlos y Sofía en más de cien visitas oficiales al extranjero.

Entre sus múltiples cargos destacan los veintidós años que fue redactor jefe de la revista Hola; director de La Revista, adjunto a la dirección de El Independiente y colaborador de la COPE, Telemadrid, Antena 3 TV, La Estrella Digital, Intereconomía y Republica.com. Desde hace veinte años, es columnista habitual en El Mundo. Durante estos últimos años lo hemos podido ver en Tele 5.
También ha tenido tiempo para escribir varios libros, entre los que destacan: Dios salve a la Reina, Dios salve también al Rey, Retrato de un matrimonio y Los tacones de Letizia. En Grijalbo ha publicado Reinas y princesas sufridoras (2015), donde repasaba las difíciles situaciones por las que muchas de ellas tuvieron que pasar para casarse con el hombre que querían, e Isabel. La amante de sus maridos (2016), la biografía de Isabel Preysler.
