Her Royal Highness has a long held interest in dementia and she established a foundation to train health and social workers on dementia care many years ago.
Queen Sofia of Spain too, who was also a participant at the event, also has a foundation that gives considerable focus to dementia.

Queen Silvia spent her formative years in Brazil and retains a close association with the country. She is fluent in Portuguese.
