If anything has been talked about in recent months, it is the state of health of European monarchs. The headlines about King Charles III and his unexpected cancer spread around the world. Something that was added to the concern about the same illness suffered by the wife of the heir to the British throne, Kate Middleton. And, if that were not enough, now it has been Silvia from Sweden who has set off the alarm bells.
The queen consort of the Nordic country has shocked by appearing at an official event with a completely bloody eye. An eye hemorrhage has caused her to attract everyone's attention and has increased her concern.
This occurred at the banquet that the royal family presided over at Stockholm Palace where they honored the state trip of Alexander Stubb, president of the Republic of Finland, and his wife, Suzanne Innes-Stubb. And, despite suffering from this problem, Carlos Gustavo's wife has not hesitated to comply with her official agenda.
Even so, he wanted to act as if nothing had happened, perhaps hoping that attention would not only focus on his left eye. And, as usual, Queen Silvia has shown her most elegant side with a Georg et Arend design in a color called pink peacock.
"The Queen suffered a draft of cold air in her eye. The Queen is otherwise fine," Margareta Thorgren, head of communications at the Swedish court, told the newspaper Svensk Damtidning shortly afterwards. With this, she has made it clear that her health is good and there should be no concern about it.
An effusion of these characteristics occurs when bleeding appears in the sclerotic part of the eye, that is, the white part. Something that is very common to occur because the blood vessels are very weak and delicate. If treated well, it usually disappears within 10 days, in the same way that a simple bruise does.
"They can be particularly noticeable during the coldest months, when the temperature difference between the outside and inside is large," Thorgren has just clarified, this time for the Expressen media. It seems to be something very common in Nordic countries, especially when temperatures drop considerably.
And it is not the first time that Queen Silvia of Sweden has been alarmed by her state of health. In 2021 she had a fall at her royal residence, Drottningholm Palace, which sent her to the hospital for several fractures in her wrist caused by the blow, according to the same medium.
