Infanta Cristina and Family, Current Events Part 2: April - August 2005

[Florence]

She's looking wonderful for a woman you gave birth two weeks ago and just turned 40. A delightful family.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member. I had been reading the forum for a few months and I decided to become a member because I wanted to be able to share my feelings concerning the european royal families with the members of TRF.

I agree, cristina looks smashing for someone who gave birth not long ago and her kids are all very beautiful.

BTW I'm french.

Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarín went last Thursday morning to the school of their eldest children, Juan Valentín and Pablo Nicolás. At the French Grammar School, they chatted with the tutors of the children, who explained the progresses made by the boys during this school year.

The Dukes of Palma were accompanied by little Miguel, who will leave the nursery school, to begin with his classes at the grammar school. His parents wanted the boy to become familiar with the new school and the teachers who will teach him from September on.

titles?

what are the official titles of the little "princes" i guess i really don't know what they are called, i know that in spain they are refered to by first name etc. and that even Crown Prince Felipe, and Princess Letizia are refered to alot by first name basis. Does this have something to do with the "relaxed "atmosphere pervaded by the Royal Family or in Spain has it just not been as important. I know about all of Felipes titles such as Todos los Santos Prinicipe de Sicily .. and all that etc., and Duques de Lugo etc. but what about the children besided being Juan Pablo, Miguel, etc. And do the Infanta's family's have bodyguards? you allways see them walking amongst their people or down the street but never any bodyguards which you might think would be a necessity considering the heightened levels of terrorism, and the even the ETA. Maybe the bodyguards of these families stay out of sight to ensure no "pretentious appearances?". But even then you would think their would be security for this family she is the daughter of a King and these are the King's grandchildren. Just asking .... Thanks!

They are known as "Grandes de España", something like "Great of Spain" and have treatment of Excelencia (Excellence).

And do the Infanta's family's have bodyguards? you allways see them walking amongst their people or down the street but never any bodyguards which you might think would be a necessity considering the heightened levels of terrorism, and the even the ETA.

Yes, I guess they do, although they probably, as you've said yourself, "work in the shadows" as I don't recall ever seeing the infantas or their families accompanied by them.

The children are adorable, and smiling, usually they are quite serious, Infanta Cristina looks great and happy, and the usually elegant Queen is wearing something God awfull that makes me quite dizzy

They btw have sooo many pictures of Cristina and her family, it would be nice if they was left a little more alone

Oh, the boys are so lovely! I can't say who is the cuttes one! Miguel was lovely in costume. And Queen Sofia seems to adore her grandchildren. And who doesn't?

Spanish Royal Family give a great deal to family values!!! They were very closer and caring people!! Queen Sofia is a grandmother like other...she´s very sensible and sweet person! I admire this family for that...they have strong ties of love and friendship.

Infanta Cristina caught her eldest children at the club of tennis, while calmly strolling with her daughter Irene, who will be baptized on July 14th. Cristina was then pushing the baby pram of Irene, a small pram that is now very fashionable among celebrities worldwide.

Actresses and models, like Gwyneth Patrow, Heidi Klum and Kate Hudson also take a walk with their babies, pushing the "Bugaboo", which incorporates the most modern technology. It has revolving wheels with adjustable suspension, reversible handlebars, all-terrain back wheels and seat with three different positions… for the low price of 679 €.

Here and article from El Mundo Deportivo:

Urdangarín: " The sensation of sadness has destroyed us " " It is a disappointment, but not a fail because we have had the opportunity to be in an impressive race "

The vice-president of the Olympic Spanish Committee, Iñaki Urdangarín, summarized briefly the deep disappointment that the good-bye to the Olympic dream of the candidacy of Madrid 2012 caused. " The sensation of sadness has destroyed us ". After the words of Jacques Rogge, president of the COI, he confessed that there was " a big silence". "It demonstrates surprise and disappointment, but not a fail because we have had the opportunity to be in an impressive race".

" We have demonstrated that we are in the highest level, and that we are satisfied of having arrive here. Now we have to get up and return walking to the pace that the institutions decide. It is necessary to know which is the scrutiny of votes to know which have been our real options and to know which is our following step. We will see the sadness and disappointment re-done to continue fighting for this project. We have years to prepare candidacies and to convince the members of the COI that the Games are possible in Madrid ", he added.

Ex-waterpolista Manuel Estiarte catalogued of exploit that Madrid has aspired to organize the Games of 2012. Estiarte, Olympic champion in Atlanta and subchampion in Barcelona, admits that " there were a lot of illusions" in a project that was "great and in which we did all the things good", and because of it he congratulated his persons in charge.
