Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden has opened up about the death of her brother in an interview with TV4. In late October, it was announced that the Swedish Queen’s brother, Walther Sommerlath, had died at the age of 86. Sommerlath had been ill for a long time, and now the Queen has spoken out about the incident, dispelling rumours that he had died of Covid..
In a TV interview with Swedish TV4, Her Majesty said that her brother battled with Alzheimer’s. The Queen said: “Alzheimers is a terrible disease. It is painful. Gradually you lose your own consciousness. You do not find an answer or the right thing to say. You get annoyed. So it was very difficult to handle.”
