Infanta Leonor Starts School- Photocall on September 15 2008

[Guido]

Letizia doesn't want anyone to record Leonor at school. Last year there was the same case at a birthday party. Letizia required that nobody recorded and took pictures of Leonor.

Isn't that a bit too much for her to request that sort of thing? She doesn't want Leonor so socialize just because she is a royalty?

What they want neither she nor the Royal House it is that anyone could approach the Infanta and do photos to her without permission, when the girl is in private spaces.

The girl is not a "clown", is an Infanta, but she is a 3-year-old girl, and has a rights. Nobody knows where they can end these photos. Only it is necessary to remember the problem of the Royal Family of Holland with a web of infantile pornography.

Where is the coherency between "socialize" and "mobile phones at school"? There is absolutely no reason for children to use mobile or camera phones at school as it only distracts them from socializing in the true sense of the meaning. As any other parent in their situation F & L will be concerned about the consequences of allowing phones on the school premises, it will probably lead to stupid attempts of Leonor's schoolmates to take pictures and try to sell those to the media. Leonor is only 3, by far not old enough to defend herself.

I am a teacher and cell phones are prohibited in all schools. Students can use them only after school. If a student is found using the cell phone it is retained by the principal until the parents come and collect it.

That is the same in my grandchildren's school system. They are extremely strict about this and after a few offenses, the student will receive suspension for two days.

I am not sure whether this standard in general applies to schools in european countries (Spain in this case) but I wish it did. I believe there is also a difference between state schools and private schools.

You need to read this article again . It actually said that the Casa Real told 20 minutos (Zarzuela was probably being asked) that the story was 'absolutely false'.

I heard that this standard applies to the Rosales (the school Leonor is attending) and has been there for a few years.

In that school there are children up to 17-18 years...

What an adorable little girl. I remarked her back pack, as well as Elizabeth´s and Irene´s. Kipling backpacks and satchels are a favourite with children.
