I've asked this in the thread for Queen Sonja's 70th birthday, but is it known if The Queen will still attend tomorrow after being told to rest?

If she doesn't go, who will be sent to accompany Elena and Jaime (if anyone)?

The Queen has several acts programmed in the agenda of this week, so of rest or not for her wound, I doubt that she could travel to Norway. The Dukes of Lugo will go alone, the rest of the family has official acts.
 
Yes, but it was said she was meant to go to Norway. According to a guest list published in the Norwegian thread :flowers:
 
Sorry, I don't think my last post was clear. What I meant was if she had acts in the agenda, why was it said she would go to Norway?

No your post was clear, just a misunderstanding. It wasn't said that Sofia has acts in the agenda but rather the other members of the SRF who aren't attending. Sofia was meant to go but can't becasue of her leg.
 
According to the agenda of the Royal Family the Queen has acts wednesday, thursday and friday, in case that she could go to Norway only she could do it the weekend.

Thanks for posting the article Lula. The article says that the Queen got hurt wile playing with her grandchildren at Zarzuela! That's so sweet :wub: I can just see her running around in the gardens of the palace chasing after (and being chased after) her grandchildren. SHe's the best
 
I hope that the queen recovers soon to begin the vacations in perfect state. She is a woman so hard and brave… the wound was great and had to bother to him, but it has gone away of trip very far and nobody has noticed him nothing, neither bad face, nor only a gesture. She is a great queen and a great woman. Greetings:flowers::flowers:

Today in a yellow program of television, they have showed the wound in the leg of the Queen Sofia. It was in the act of yesterday, though she tries to concealing it with her long skirt, was taking pie without upper crust (I imagine that for medical recommendation), and one saw it still badly. Today also she has been absent of the military act.
 
 
What happened to the Queen's leg?
