Excuse me, but I have a question. What was reaction of various layers of the Spanish society to a marriage of crown prince to the dissolved woman? I mean aristocracy, members of the Spanish royal family and clergy.

Of all the babies, we've seen Leonor the most this summer. We only saw Christian and Ingrid Alexandra a few times, we never saw any of the Belgian kids, Amalia and Alexia were only seen during the two official photoshoots in Italy and with the visiting Japanese royals. In my opinon, we shouldn't encourage a "paparazzi" attitude towards having photographs of Leonor in the garden of her home with her family or when she is out visiting friends of her parents during their private time. (Who says she doesn't go out in the garden or to the park? Just because we don't pictures doesn't mean that she doesn't. We don't see pictures of royals in the bathroom, but does that mean they don't go, too?) She is a little girl, even if she may be queen one day, and should be allowed some space and privacy to grow up. Knowing her fate, her parents won't cloiser her in an ivy tower, but will expose her to the public and to her future duties when the time is appropriate.

 Total agree with you Alexandria! very funny your coment!About the polemic about why the princes have not gone this summer to Asturias, i have to say one thing: ( if the goverment change the Constitution) Leonor will be the next Princess Of Asturias, so her first time in Asturias it will have to be a special moment, an official moment, a very big moment, so if the Principes had gone this summer to Princes“s Gramma house, they would have to take Leonor with them, but in a private and not oficcial way, and IT WOULD NOT BE a special and big moment for her first visit to Asturias. I,m sure that the Principes have a great surprise prepared for us for this great day Quote:

Not how they have made the Infantas with her children, if they have come to some child-care or their babysitters have taken care of them in house until they have begun the Infantile Education. In any case, it will be a decision of the Princes, Leonor has babysitter, but probably in some moment the Princes decide to take the Infanta to some place some hours in order that she has more relation with other children... I imagine that in Zarzuela already they will be looking for the suitable place in order that the Infanta Leonor is educated, because the election will be difficult. But she still is 10 months old, so at least they stay enough months before the girl goes to some place.  |

But usually those kindergartens are public places, don't they?I think that will be very good to Leonor having more relation with "normal kids" not roayl kids.

 ... Infanta Leonor was presented to two virgins before she was one year old; her christening consagration and the presentation to the Virgin of Atocha. For us Catholics these moments are deeply emotional and heartful moments, as I think it was for the Princes. These aren't meant to be public relations moments but devotional ones... When time comes, and I guess maybe to celebrate and thank the Virgin the first year of their daughter they'll go elsewhere to thank and ask protection. For what I've seen this summer, when we had the chance to see the little Infanta day in and day out, they must be very thankful for her and for the family they managed to form despite everything. I know I am! Regads, mtbcm  |

Not how to explain this, it is a bit difficult. The baptism is a sacrament for the Catholics, but other acts I do not believe that they are acts strictly devotionals, in these acts the tradition and the symbolic thing weighs almost more that the strictly religious thing. In Spain, it happens often. Spain is a traditionally catholic country, and many parties and many traditions, they have in religious origin, but today in day devocional, it is mixed by the festive thing, the cultural thing, the traditional thing... There are many examples ... there are persons who realize the Way of Santiago not for a question of devotion, but because they like to make sport, know other places, as something cultural...The same thing happens with the processions of Holy Week, besides the religious thing, they have many of culture, of tradition and of spectacle... In the visit to Atocha the history and the tradition weighs very much, the Princes continued a tradition of centuries of the Spanish Royal Family. Covadonga's meaning is much more complex. For the Spanish Monarchy, it is a part of its historical origin. The inheritors of the Wreath are Princes of Asturias, and the Kings took the Prince Felipe to Covadonga being a child in order that he was proclaimed a Prince of Asturias. For the Princess it is an affective question. The people of Asturias have very much sympathetic for their symbols ... the Virgin of Covadonga, the Cross of the Victory ... both have a religious origin, but for the majority of the people, it is more important the affective sense, of love for the land where they were born or where their forbears were born. In Covadonga there join the religious thing, the historical thing, the affective thing ... and an impressive landscape ... it is a set of things that do this special place for many persons. Besides it does not stop being a visit with certain interest. The Infanta Leonor is a daughter of the Princes of Asturias, but ... will she be at some time A Princess of Asturias?...Also it is interesting to return to Covadonga, in the territorial conflict that lives now Spain ... there is many history |

.That's why I don't believe they will go there just as a compromise or a duty but in an honourable and remarkable occasion! Felipe wasn't so young as Leonor is... I remember his photos (I believe dressed in the regional costume - batuco or something) and he was around 2 or 3 years old and he had that cute expression of him "Why are you all so excited?!!" I've seen that expression in Leonor in Malloca and thought it was so Felipe's ...Let's wait and see! Regards, mtbcm |

The photo that your you say, is a visit to the Virgin of Pilar, Mistress of Spain, the Virgin of Pilar is in Zaragoza, Province of Aragon, and the regional suit of Aragon is of "baturro". her festivity is October 12, today of the National Day. The visit to Covadonga was years later, when Juan Carlos already was A King, and the Prince inheritor. I am going to look for some photos, and when I finds put it. |

http://www.fundacionprincipedeasturi...do/index5.html Following this simple ceremony, Juan Carlos I delivered a brief address in which he stated "In this ceremony, the six century-old tradition that demands that the Heir to the Crown be the Prince of Asturias is consecrated and renewed. My son remains linked to what this region represents and what his position as Heir to the Crown means, which here has been made exact and clear. Therefore, we can say that from this moment on, having received the Cross of Victory, the Prince will feel the moral responsibility of the future King". http://casl.umd.umich.edu/hum/spanis...ipe.51444c.jpg And this Hola's photo that you have copied your same one is of this day http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/259955-post79.html  Last edited by lula; 08-31-2006 at 07:38 PM.. |
