Queen Sofía of Spain Accepts Posthumous Humanitarian Honor for Sister Princess Irene of Greece
Queen Sofía of Spain recently accepted a posthumous Grand Cross and Diploma of Honor from Spain’s Institution of Humanitarian Merit on behalf of her late sister, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark. The ceremony took place at the Zarzuela Palace, the royal residence outside Madrid. Princess Irene, who passed away in January at the age of 83, was recognized for her extensive charitable work. She founded 'World in Harmony' in 1986, a non-profit organization that established schools and medical centers in various countries, including India, Greece, and Spain. The organization also supported animal protection and funded scholarships for the Hopi community in Arizona before its closure in 2023, having completed over 150 projects.
