This is something that I've been wondering for ages:
When Felipe becomes king, will he and Letizia move into La Zarzuela or will they have a different palace to live in? If they were to move there but Queen Sofia was still alive what would happen?

I believe that it nobody knows it, it is to advance the events.
They might move to Zarzuela or continue living in the house where they live. The House of the Princes is to less than one kilometre of the Zarzuela, inside the same enclosure, so if they want they can continue living in their house and to leave the Zarzuela for the official acts. They live in their house, but the official acts do them in the Zarzuela and sometimes they move also there for the office work.

The Princes live in the House of the Prince, a house that was constructed a few years ago as housing for the Prince. The Palace of the Zarzuela is constructed in a great plot in a mount, inside the same plot the House of the Prince is, to less a kilometre of the house of the Kings. They are neighboring ... the neighboring only ones, around there is nothing, only mount.

There is no information about this topic yet. The Princes have not travelled this summer to Asturias, so I wait that prompt they travel and that the girl does it with them. If it is not in this visit, in October the Princes will travel to the delivery of the Prizes Prince, and will be several days.

On another topic. We see Leonor when we have to see her, this summer has seen her very much and has appeared in all the family acts. Leonor is a baby and though we would like to see more often it is necessary to understand that it cannot be, because she is a baby and a baby does not do anything in serious official acts (Neither I believe that we have seen other royal babies more than Leonor). Neither we see the Princes great out of the official acts ... and it is known that they go to the cinema or go out to have dinner, but they do it of discreet form. Madrid is a big and chaotic city, and the Princes always are surrounded with safety. If Letizia has problems to be going to buy to a shop, to go out with Leonor it seems to be very complicated.

Of course I agree with you Lula. It's a pleasure to see princes and Leonor but it's very egoist from me. If I were them i would like to be quiet, and do things without all these journalists !
You're right Leonor is a baby and she needs a "normal" life with her parents and with as less as possible all these people around her whe she goes outside !!!

I was not saying it for you.

I also expect to see Leonor in Covadonga, especially for the Princess, because would be very special for her, very emotively, more bearing in mind how it was her last visit there. For Letizia always it has been very important to return to Asturias, I remember an interview that I read in a magazine, previous to the advertisement of her engament , for her returning there was to return to her house, to her refuge. Because of it I hope, that if she has had to give up returning there this summer, it is because she is going to be able to do it soon, and not for another thing.

In my opinion too , I wonder how being so close to one year-old she still hasn't got her own agenda and duties or even why doesn't she travel around with her parents.

I see a very dark future for her as a Head of State... what are they thinking?!?! I believe it must be Letizia fault, she has that attitude and she is affraid that Leonor will steal all the attention from her...

Oh my, how much more we have to see them treating her as a baby ?

Why because you've never seen pictures of her out and about? It's been written that the Princes always take the little Infanta with them when they go to their friends' houses. Just because you don't see paparazzi pix does not mean that certain things didn't happen. She's a baby, not a show toy Remember when they went shopping when she was smaller? The press tagged it as just a publicity. The bottom line is that Felipe and Letizia will never win. Either way they will be criticized.
