I want to clarify something that equal creates confusion . I do not believe that Letizia is a woman behind a man, believe that she is a colitigant behind an inheritor. She does not occupy a secondary position for being a woman, but because she is not the heiress of right, the future Chief of State, but she is the colitigant. Possibly this it is one of the things most difficult of being able to go, learn to live in the second plane.
If you make the exercise of look in the forums at the acts of the Princes and those of the Princesses colitigants, calls the attention that the princesses always they are more followed than the princes. And it can be a danger, because in the end the future Chiefs of State are going to be the princes. In the Spanish case, the acts of the Princes always have major attention that those of the Prince only.
Though you criticize beech and so absurd things are said how that Letizia wants protagonism ... the certain thing is that she interests the people and that she drags many press. The Royal House has taken advantage of it in order which the work of the Prince is known more, but for it Letizia has placed in the second plane and has turned into a stranger.
Personally, I believe that in a beginning it was practical and logical. But I believe that two years later, the Royal House had to park the fear of that Letizia does shade to the Prince, and they must look for a way of combining the acts in solitarily with the united acts. She might begin with discreet things how hearings in the Zarzuela. What does not seem to be normal is that there are institutions, congresses, prizes ... that request the presidency of honor of the Princess, with the intention of which she comes, in order that later he is the Prince who presides at the acts.
On the other hand also I understand the fear. Letizia attracts expectation and with it good things and also you criticize. Often things as absurd as to criticize her because she wants protagonism, when always she places on the second plane and are counted the occasions in which we ear she to speak . Or things as absurd as to criticize that she has a secretary or an equipment with which to work how other princesses, thing that still does not have.
I believe that in the S.XXI the Monarchies will live always with the shade of the disappearance, and not only in Spain. The world evolves and the idea of democracy also. Spain is a complex country politically, in these days many advertising gives itself to the Republic for 75 Anniversary of the Republic II, but the Spain of then is not it of now, and that Republic finished with a Civil war. The communist, antimonarchic and republican parties took advantage of the moment to speak about the republic; but of there to other one there is a very long step. The decision only it can take the Spanish people of a democratic way and for the present time to the majority parties it seems that they are not interested. When the Kings were in France a republican exile said something very interesting ... he said that they had fought for the legality and the democracy, and that now this legality and this democracy was representing the parliamentary Monarchy.
The question is if the Monarchy is own of the democracies of the XXIst century.
Probably the Prince Felipe does not have the extrovert character of his father, and some of them have tried to present it as a rich child ... but in this sense his marriage has helped him and the journalists recognize it. On the other hand, in general nobody doubts his capacity and his education, and strange his attitude in an official act or his words in a speech on the occasion of critique. Letizia needs time, time in order that she develops a few own activities and time in order that the people know her indeed, and know that can be capable. The Queen Sofia had many things in against initially, but with her work and her attitude she has managed to be gained to the country.
If Spain ended up by restoring for third time the Republic, I believe that the Princes would be persons capacer of developing their life without problems. I believe that the Prince has been educated in the posibility, because both his parents and his grandparents have lived through the exile. Today in day the exile would not even exist because in the European Union already it does not exist, there be that search a democratic good solution for all.
More or less I see the panorama like that in Spain, though I believe that in other countries the situation is not much better. This week in the Spanish press have been published several articles about the Belgian Monarchy and the role of the Prince inheritor, and the situation does not seem to be much better.

Several things.Stefanie said:What will happen to them if it comes to the case that with Juan Carlos´death monarchy ends again in Spain? (Some rumours were spread these days about that fact)I can imagine that both Felipe and Letizia wouldn´t be too sad. Sometimes I think both can´t be bothered with that monarchy-staff.
