Enriqueta Rodríguez, Grandmother on her mother’s side to the Princess Letizia, has died. She died yesterday in the Gregorio Marañón hospital in Madrid. She had been admitted to intensive care on Saturday.

The Royal household has confirmed that the Princess has cancelled all her public acts for today.

She was the most discreet of the princesses’ grandparents and lived quietly in Torrevieja, and in a house in San Gabriel in Alicante where she moved with her husband after retirement.
