Is there any reason for Froilan to concern himself with the throne he will never ascend? There are no ifs in this situation. Infanta Elena and her children are not the members of the Spanish royal family.If the law of succession to the throne was equal for men and women, today Elena would be the Queen of Spain and Froilan heir.
Froilan have thought it?
ADHD is an explanation not an excuse for his behavior.
Everything about his behavior - kicking another child at the wedding when he was what 5 or 6? Failing out of school despite what I assume is the best of tutors and likely the most lenient of grading for a grandson of a king to keep him at that school. Now we have what can only have been an irrational rage that caused him to call another kid a "[blank] Chinese" because he does not have the ability to deal with things and wait. Put all of this together and we have, at the very least, ADHD, and corresponding sensory integration dysfunction.
I agree that if he needed an intervention and did not get it, the blame squarely lies with this parents. And hopefully, if this is the case, this is a big wake up call to get him some help.
Spain's little 'prince' shamed for racist rant
Spain's royal bad boy has hit the headlines again after shouting racist abuse at a teenage boy who criticised him for attempting to jump the queue at a Madrid theme park.
I agree. There have been many incidents over the years, Huffington Post has put on a timeline:
-2004: he kicked his cousin during the wedding of F&L
-2010: he gave some reporters the finger
-2011: shooting himself in the foot
-2013: giving his cousin Pablo a headbutt & fighting with a friend
-2013: advertisment for a night club in Madrid
-2014: during the abdication process pulling faces while on a mobile phone
-2014: failure at school for the 2nd time
-2014: pretended to have found a rolex watch that turned out to be fake
-2015: insulting the chinese boy
Los hits de Froilán: de la patada al "¡tú cállate, puto chino!"
Those things don't sound that different from the nonsense a lot of boys get into. He just has the bad fortune to be doing this stuff in front of the media (and sometimes at high-profile events).
It's kind of ironic that Elena, who is usually praised for her conduct and discretion, has a son who gets into trouble, while her sister, whose personal behavior is questionable, has three sons who don't seem to get into mischief.
Did that article say that he actually tried to stab Pablo with a kebab stick after headbutting him?
I would add that I don't regard all these incidents as not worthy to be dealt with. They are to be dealt with appropriately to help this young boy to become a fine man. But privately, with people knowing him and able to help him, not by the whole country nor the whole royal watchers community.
