This is a respectful treatment, somewhat the equivalent of Lord/Lady in English.

As Anna said it is respectful. It is used alot when it comes to the RF: El Rey Don Juan Carlos, La Infanta Doņa Cristina etc...


Thanks for the scans lula! Leonor's eyes are so pretty

The girl changes very much with every gesture ... she has gestures that they remember to her mother and others who remember her father I am charmed with her eyes and her long eyelashes...

She looked stunning in the wedding though, the curls made the hair shorter and added volume and the warm color of the dress complemented her skin color.
I wasn't talking about "official" engagements, just that they were at a wedding all day Saturday, flew back Sunday (with flight problems apparently) and then had an official engagement Monday. At any rate, she looked a little tired to me... but maybe lil' Leonor kept her up all night or something... who knows.

Can people address Leonor as Dona too even if she's just a baby?

I like the style of her hair. Waves and curls look great on her (maybe she's been reading TRF... )

I think so, morhange... they are making a confusion between Crown Prince Felipe and King Juan Carlos.. that or they know something we don't .

Thank you for sharing, an interesting and very actual reading, indeed.


Thank you so much lula and Monica for sharing the photos and infanteleonor for sharing the article about this event...

I don't know if she reads TRF, Anna_R, but I agree with you all this hair-do is perfect for her.
