I actually think that their relationship with the media does lack a bit of respect - respect from the media towards Felipe and Letizia. Of course they should not work with the Yellow Press or Penafiel who I wouldn't call a serious journalist, rather the opposite.
The problem is only with yelow press, not with the serious press, the serious press admires and respects them. In Spain have a lot of gossip tv programs with very mutch audience. Tath's the problem.
It seems that given the press doesn't dare to bother the King, they are concentrating on them and I feel that they have already given in too much or act unfortunate.
The SRH never respond to articles or commentaries of the yellow press, think that it is worse, because that gives them the opportunity to extend the controversy indefinitely. If you respond to them, you are recognizing them estatus. I don't know if it is the best policy, but is its policy.
On the one hand they annoy the press with not showing up for over six weeks or not showing Leonor for many weeks and provoke gossip or critizism with this behaviour but on the other hand they allow or even answer superpersonal questions like if Sofia is being breastfed or if Letizia was present at her sister's flat after she died. It's pretty rude of the press to even ask questions like these and I was even more surprised when they gave a comment.
The princes don't have the obligation to let themselves photograph, nor to show their daughters every certain time. The pink and yellow press wants them to make business, knows that they sell more with photos and news of the princess and their daughters, for that reason presses so that they are let make photos, the Spaniards don't press.
The princes follow the custom of the SRF, call to the press for their official acts, also for some familiar acts, other times do not call them but it is known that they are going to go to a concrete place, for example in the birthdays of the children of the Dukes of Palma and they are always let see during its vacations in Spain (Majorca, Asturias, Lanzarote). It is very difficult to photograph the princes, the princess, the infants, in some deprived exit, but nonimpossible, it is allowed to take photos in public places and if they find them they photograph them. I think that this press has been created a necessity and try to force the princes to satisfy it, the princes do not have to yield to those pressures. I think that it isn't reason for change their customs, if change one, where puts the limit?
Yes, princess answered to the question on nursing sofía, but nonmemory that asked to him abaut her sister after she's dead. You are a man? I think that the women we naturally spoke to nurse our children, the question became a woman, to the women did not seems rude to us (not for me), but I understand that, to the men, it seems rude to them.
IMO they should draw a line towards Yellow Press or people like Penafiel and not comment on every stupid thing they bring up and at the same time just satisfy the wish for a photoshoot every now and then and, most importantly, act transparently.
This is what I meant with my remark when the old man has gone: If they are unable to find a way in dealing with the press that shows at least mutual respect, they will face a tough way ahead as IMO Letizia will never lose the attention of the press, even in her fourties or fifties. Her background, the situation she married into and what she already went through will always provide the press with plenty of suggestions, true or not, why she is happy - or even better unhappy, from a magazine selling point of view - more than any other Princess or Queen around.
I don't understand, you propose that they resist to requests of photos? or you propose that they provide photos frequently?
Because you think that Letizia will have the attention of the magazines more time than other royals? what has special she?
sorry, the English is not my first language, is evident.
