Back in Greece with her husband, the Crown Princess resumed her charity work.
However, the health of both her mother and English grandmother deeply concerned her.
The Empress Dowager of Germany was indeed suffering from breast cancer, which caused her extreme suffering.
As for the Queen of the United Kingdom, she was approaching the age of eighty and her family knew that the end was close.
But the last years of Queen Victoria's reign were marked by the Second Boer War, during which the United Kingdom suffered terrible losses facing the Afrikaner resistance.
Sophia was concerned that the difficulties suffered by the British in South Africa would undermine the already fragile health of her grandmother.

Queen Victoria finally died of a cerebral hemorrhage on 22 January 1901 in Osborne House.
Very affected by the death of the sovereign, Sophia traveled to the United Kingdom for her funeral and attended a religious ceremony in her honor in Athens with the rest of the Greek royal family.

A few months later, in the summer of 1901, Sophie went to Friedrichshof to look after her mother, whose health continued to decline.
Five months pregnant, the Crown Princess knew that the Dowager Empress was dying and, with her sisters Viktoria and Margaret, she accompanied her until her last breath on 5 August.
In the space of seven months Sophia lost two of her closest relatives.
However, her new maternity helped keep her from feeling sorry for herself.
