Well said, camarina! There are plenty of families, royal and otherwise, who because of work commitments and differing schedules, etc, don't necassarily spend a lot of time together. It doesn't mean that there's enmity or hostility, just a fact of life. I think sometimes people look for troubles when there are none.

I also agree that just because we don't see pictures of hugs that there is a problem. Elena and Cristina are bound to be closer and since Cristina lives away from the CP couple, they may not be as close. Normal families have times where personalities are so different that even though they don't hang out together doesn't mean there is dislike, maybe there just isn't common ground. Another thought, and it is strictly my speculation, maybe Cristina realizes that there will always be comparison between Leo and Irene, mostly because they are so close in age. As a mother, maybe she tries to shelter Irene, so that the speculation is less. With the attention focusing on the two little girls, maybe she is just trying to keep Irene out of the media circus and all the speculations.
Look at everyone, I am just as guilty, we are always comparing these two precious little angels to see who is prettier or smarter or better dressed, so maybe she tries to keep distance in order to protect her child. IMHO

Oh how that cracked me up. So true.

Sofia is quite a hardy looking girl. She probably won't have the delicate features and limbs that relate to her sister and mom.

Considering the Austuria couple didn't arrive until the last minute for the Easter Mass and had already gone back to work in Madrid/Barcelona (if I read the recent activities right), when do you think their girls would have time to play with their cousins or spend time about Mallorca?

You're not suggesting Felipe and Letizia should leave their little daughters behind while they're back to work, are you? I can just see the headline now: "Felipe and Letizia abandon their daughters!"

Love the pic of Irene and Leonor! I wonder if they will grow up to be close! They are both beautiful little girls!

These pictures seem kind of sad to me this year. Elena is there for the first time without her husband, and she looks sad, but game. Cristina still has a complete family, but if anything she looks more grim to me than Elena, and has for a while. Except for the two Asturias infantas, nobody is really dressed in Easter clothing. (Letizia, what happened there!)

Now now... what about the photo of the three ladies during the concert of Bruce Springsteen (am I right with this one?) Don't claim that there is something goin on between the 3 ladies just because we don't see them interacting while posing for some pictures. That is really ridiculous! Elena and Cristina are sisters and now that Elena is separated from Jaime I just think that it's right if Cristina is seen several times with her sister. After all we know for a fact that the 2 are very close. Maybe they think that don't need to "show" that they are interacting with one another, because they know for a fact that the relationship between the 2 of them is ok. Maybe that's their attitude when in public. It doesn't hurt if they don't talk as far as they know that they're ok. I can relate to that because I don't talk either to my cousins when we are with other people. It's my nature so I think it's the same with the ladies too. One doesn't need to show that she's "too close or in friendly terms" with your in-laws all the time. I actually think that if Letizia does that the paparazzi might think that Letizia is overdoing it being close to her in-laws. Some people are just not "showy".

I felt the same way, like the spark and dignified fun was missing.

I really love the videos esp. Leonor and Sofia waving. It's really great that they are being accustomed to public people since they won't go away. Felipe and Letizia might have teach them something special when facing the media since they smile all the time. Good for them.

cécile76 · #**191** 04-06-2008, 04:46 PM

what a beautiful family!!! sofia is really beautiful! I think she looks like leonor very much!!! 2 beautiful little girls!!!

**sofajr** · #**192** 04-07-2008, 04:49 AM

am I the one who dont see a real beauty in Sofia now?
yes, every child is beautiful, but maybe its too early to see Infanta's

the same feeling I had about Leonor, didn't think that she become as pretty as her mother. but she did.

so, I'll wait untill the day when Sofia gets her beauty and then say: "OMG, she's so cute"

I think it's far too early to judge, furthermore beauty always lies in the eye of the spectator.

Unlike most posters I thought that Leonor was very ugly as a baby and only had become a pretty child around 18 months of age, when she went to the faunia park with her parents. I thought Sofia was much more pretty as a baby than her sister, let's see what happens when she reaches the toddler age. By the way, very soon we should see some pics when she will celebrate her first birthday

I think Sofia looks cute.

biboquinhas · #**196** 04-08-2008, 08:26 AM

well opinions are different but I once said here that I think Sofia is not a pretty baby I think Leonor was the most pretty baby girl I ever seen but Sofia was not so pretty has her sister was! Maybe because she has little hair, maybe because she is very chubby, I don't know, maybe because she is too much a Bourbon...

Camarina · #**197** 04-08-2008, 09:45 AM

The Princes of Asturias can presume of having two beautiful daughters. Leonor is absolutely beautiful and graceful but Sofia has facial features very pretty(I even dare to say that she will be nicer than Leonor), she has a pretty mouth with a pretty lips, her nose is perfect and beautiful ,her dark blue eyes are totally sweet. Sofía´s facial features are perfect for me(there are children who have a disproportionately big head). What if Sofia is a big baby? and what if she have little hair?, she is a beautiful baby and will undoubtedly be a tall girl as her handsome father.

Duke of Marmalade · #**198** 04-08-2008, 10:02 AM

Let's hope both sisters will have some Ortiz in them - if not they would be the first ever beautiful grown up Borbon women. I think beauty is not the most striking asset of Queen Sofia or of the Infantas who both have strong Borbon features.

Borbon women are not especially beautiful but Leonor is more Borbon than Ortiz and she is a nice girl, little Sofia is also a nice baby so the Borbon-Ortiz mix is very good.I still think that Sofia is more Ortiz than Leonor.
