THE LIFE OF THE INFANTA LEONOR IN PALACE
http://www.hola.com/casasreales/2006...enpalaciovida/

When the infanta Leonor expired her first eight months of life she was her mother, the Princess of Asturias, which during an official act celebrated in the General Academy of the Air in San Javier (Murcia) did one of the first familiar confidences telling that " the infanta Leonor sleeps very well and has not given us a bad night ".
Two months after discovering for the own dona Letizia that her first-born one was behaving herself as an angel when it was having to rest, he was don Juan Carlos the fact that, infected by the spirit of the children who had met him in the palace of the Zarzuela to celebrate the edition XXV of the contest " what is a King for you? ", he added some details more on the existence of his granddaughter telling some of the small ones that " Leonor is very nice: She eats, sleeps, grows... " The King, who as grandfather cannot avoid appear as such - to him also changes the face when they bring him over, they establish themselves in his arms or give him a kiss-, he stopped this day his look in the drawing that one of the small winning authors painted for him while Urdangarín was telling a story to his two granddaughters more pequeñas:Irene and to the infanta Leonor.

The lies

Unlike other Royal Houses where from the birth of the new inheritors one has been giving information about the life of the smallest of the house, the Princes of Asturias have avoided in the measurement of the possible thing to facilitate details or images on their life in family and have limited themselves to commenting on the strictly necessary thing on the development of the small one in some of their public appearances. An attitude that, according to sources near to the couple, was provoked to a great extent by the perverse rumors that have run on the Infanta and her supposed diseases and deficiencies. Quite lie. Since the time puts it (almost always) everything in its place and this one is a phrase in which also the Princes and the Princesses believe, don Felipe de Borbón and dona Letizia have gone really close and silently the weight of knowing what in the street was said of their small one. Commentaries that have hurt them terribly because, and the parents know alone this, nothing hurts any more in the world that the fact that one damages to a daughter.

Nevertheless, and assuming at all time their role as Inheritors to the throne of Spain, the Princes have not been left to win for the possible misadventures and have faced, shoulder with shoulder, to information (as we were indicating in previous lines) about the health of their small one - even of the own Princess for extremely thin this one was-; to certain private performances - the freezing of the cells of the embryo of the infanta Leonor in a hospital of THE USA - that had an enormous repercussion in the mass media; to the critiques and commentaries that arose immediately after the organization of dona Leonor's baptism in the palace of the Zarzuela. (An act of family character that did not stop being compared with the "official" that there received the children of other inheritors of Europa). As well as to the invention of news on the family of the Princess of Asturias that they try to damage, somehow, to come from this one.

Now, with pregnant dona Letizia of her second baby and being parents of a healthy infanta who drags an immense curiosity after her blue eyes, not only they have eliminated the news on " the evil " of the Infanta but the family seems to have gained something of peace and tranquility. Probably for it and when a few days in order that the Infanta celebrates with a great tart of chocolate her first year of life, he has been the Prince the one that has told that " Leonor already travels gathering of the hand, with help ". This way said it to a group of children of the Public College Salvador Vega Berros, of Sariego (Asturias, which he visited during his stay in the capital of the council, but also to some of the journalists invited to the receipt offered by the Kings in the Royal Palace of Madrid on the occasion of the celebration of the National Day.
