I was wondering about Queen Sofia and Iñaki Urdangarin relationships. The Queen seems to like her in-law a lot , and she could be seen in a great deal of photos with him and with her Urdangarin grandchildren...But she is not seen too much along with the Marichalar children, nor with her other daughter Infanta Elena and his husband, Don Jaime or with her in-law Princess Letizia and her granddaughter Infanta Leonor...It seems that she is more close to the Urdangarins...Did someone notices it other than me?

You are right Vanesa, I've noticed it as well, I think it has something to do with the fact that Iñaki is more a "family man" than Jaime, he spends a lot of time with his children and nieces and nepwews while Jaime doesn't seem to; so Queen Sofia likes to be with her grandchildren a lot and they are very frecuently in Barcelona with Iñaki, maybe that's why she's almost always with him

This is a great thread! I love to see the families interacting with each other! The looks and geatures seem so geunine and true.

I always thought Queen Beatrix and CP Maxima looked exceptionally close.
And Queen Sofia and CP Letizia seem to have a nice close relationship too!

Sometimes I have some difficulties to understand how some passion allow to say some things not very sur.

First, we know that the Queen is very found of all theirs grand children and that she is trying to give to them in equal part all her grand mother love. if you want you can find a lot of pics with the Queen and theirs grand children of Madrid who can with more faclities to see her at the Zarzuela.
To say that she is very often in Barcelone to see the Underga's family is forget that she has an terrific agenda who forbid to go " like that" in Barcelone. To end if, now, she looks a little more far away of Jaime of Marichalar - but, please not of their children- it's obviously because Marichalar has international activities and because too the couple Marichalar is traveling more outside Spain than the Dukes of Palm.

Have look about the hollidays in Baleares during the spring, you can see how the Queen Sofia is involved by all theirs grand children.

hey adelaide, I'm not saying Queen Sofia doesn't spend time with all her grandchildren; what I'm saying is that the Marichalar kids are in Barcelona a lot so when QS is with all of them, they usually are with Iñaki so she seems to be more with him

it's not a question of passion, it's just the way things are

Yep, I agree. Although I still think the Queen kept some respect for Diana even after the divorce. I heard once that when Charles was sitting somewhere, Diana would run through the room to sit on his lap and kiss his cheek; the Queen would just laugh at the scene.

I found it really funny.

I don't have seen this photo. It's really nice! The queen with Diana!

And of course the always so majestic Queen simply melts down when she is eye in eye with one of her 8 grandchildren: Princess Catharina-Amalia, Princess Alexia, Princess Ariane, Countess Emma Luana, Countess Joanna Zaria, Countess Eloise, Count Claus-Casimir and Countess Leonore.

Has Beatrix ever made any statement on Máxima's growing popularity? (as mentioned in other thread, through a recent poll, she turns out to be even more popular than the Queen herself). I'm sure she really appreciates her, maybe as the daughter she never had, i don´t know...and she is for sure 100% conscious about the great good that she has done to her son as a future King, but still...?

Those are great pictures of the royals with their in-laws. They seem to really support them through their marriage and other royal deeds which is awesome.

One funny pic when you look at the face of the Queen :

Yes, on Queen's Day (April 30th) she made a reference to Princess Máxima in her speech on the stairs of the City Hall of 's-Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc). Queen Beatrix stated: "We all miss our Máxima a bit, but you know the reason why she is not with us. [Loud cheer]. In our family we all are delighted with such a sweet healthy girl. [Loud cheer]. Again it was an unforgettable day! Thanky you all! [Loud cheer]"

The Queen and the Princess really like each other very much. On this picture you see the Queen proudly wearing the diamond-and-sapphire brooch she received as a present from the Zorreguieta's.
