Queen Sofia of Spain was joined by her daughters, Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina, for the annual Easter concert at the Cathedral-Basilica of Santa Maria of Mallorca in Palma on Monday. Sofia, who has continued to wear mostly black in mourning since the death of her sister, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, in February, carried a black velvet Loewe tote and wore a black suit accented with a gold Isabel Guarch brooch.

While the exact same handbag with the large monogram is difficult to find online now, Loewe has plenty of similar options from its Amazona line in several hues, including the small Amazona 180 bag in black soft calfskin.

Princess Irene, who died at age 83 and had lived with the Spanish royal family at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid for many years, was honored at the event with a tribute speech by Christine Schedukat, president of the Rotary Club Ramon Llull chapter in Palma de Mallorca and the concert’s organizer. “A much-loved person, who was with us for so many years, is no longer here with us,” Schedukat said, per Tatler. “This requiem is in her honor.”

Princess Irene never married and devoted much of her life to intellectual and cultural pursuits, and was a concert pianist herself. After taking up the piano in 1962, Irene trained with pianist Gina Bachauer and even performed at the Royal Festival Hall in London with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in June 1969.

The concert, held in support of Projecte Home Balears, featured the Symphony Orchestra of the Balearic Islands and the Choir of the University of the Balearic Islands. The charity, founded in 1987, works on drug addiction treatment and prevention across the Balearic Islands. All proceeds from the concert go directly to its programs. Jesús Mullor, the organization’s president, also reportedly told the crowd that “music will become a bridge to commitment.”
