Queen Sofía and Queen Letizia to attend official engagements in Spain
Queen Sofía will receive the Grand Cross of Humanitarian Merit on Friday, November 13, at the Zarzuela Palace. The distinction is being awarded posthumously to her sister, Princess Irene of Greece, in recognition of her social and philanthropic work. Princess Irene, who passed away in January at age 83, founded the humanitarian NGO Mundo Armonía in 1986 to promote social welfare and international cooperation.
On the same day, Queen Letizia is scheduled to visit the Campus Diversia in Yátova, Valencia. The site is a social and environmental project managed by the association Amica, which focuses on the inclusion of people with disabilities. The campus integrates job creation for people with disabilities with rural environmental protection, featuring organic agriculture and nature conservation efforts.
