Let me tell you, that I have heard journalist and serious ones, saying this, so I'm sure about what I'm telling you.
RaniaRocks said:Of course jornalists are reliable when is convenient to make our point but I won't argue about this anymore, despite the fact that this is not a law, there's any reason for not to send Felipe and Letizia to the royal gatherings?.
Is the Royal House playing safe?, the Kings are old and tired and the Infantas are important but have less royal rank and more kids, seems to me that Sofia and Juan Carlos will be more than happy to spend more time at home.

Well it is not the same date, and Ingrid christening was finnished at noon so he could be back in Spain the same day, if he had wanted to attend he could.mapian said:It is not correct:
Don Felipe and its fiance'e had supper in Segovia with the military of their promotion Segovia.

mapian said:The Spanish monarchy is restored, has customs different from those from other European monarchies, is more austere, they do not make celebrations and they participate little in those of the others. The princes follow the customs of the Kings of Spain, in Spain would not see themselves well that the princes took a walk by all the celebrations of the European royalty, in addition, some of those celebrations agreed with official activities that could not change of date. In Spain it is not problem, our princes do what they must, work for the country and they alternate themselves with the rest of the Royal Family to participate in the celebrations of the royalty, at the moment, have gone to the wedding of Denmark, another one in Jordan and the celebration of Luxemburo, sufficient. On the contrary one would criticize them by frivolous and wasteful.
It's bad for the magazines and the royal-watchers, what's the problem for the Spaniards? none.
Sorry for mi translation, I don't have a good translator and mi Inglish is poor.

would have been nice to see them last weekend in norway walking with the others and socialising

i would have no objections if they had an agenda to follow in spain (although it can easily be solved by the protocol staff, as dates for these kind of big celebrations are given to other royal houses way in advance), but they don't

There are certain things known as protocols or conventions, they may not be written down but they are strictly adhered to. English law is littered with them.RaniaRocks said:Where is that write down?, that's not true at all, one simple ex. the Kings along with Felipe and Miss Eva Sanum went together to the wedding of Hakoon and M Maritte and before that they went together to multiple royal events. Felipe was a Prince then and is a Prince now, her marriage hasn't change his status, any law, not the constitution, if any they don't travel on the same plane for security reasons but they can travel abroad together whenever they pleased to gathering, baptisms, weddings, vacations, whatever they want, is not and have never being a Presisent/VicePresident case.
Little_star said:Moreover, so far as the lack of photos of Leonor is concerned she's not a show-dog to be oohed and aahed at. If her parents don't want her to be photographed excessively that's their prerogative. After all, she's inevtiably going to be photographed a great deal when she is older because of her status as future Queen.
Why not allow her some privacy in her childhood?

zaza61 said:I agree too. It's sure we are curious to see her again and see how she is growing up BUT magazines have been so incorrect with her (her nose, her foot and so and so ) that I understand totally the Princes want to keep her away from these press as they can. She is just a baby and they must be very careful with her.
biboquinhas said:I like Princess Letizia and Prince Filipe but I have one or two ideias that I want to place here, regarding their Agenda and regarding their private life and Leonor!
First, my opinion goes to a lack of "seeing the real life", their official duties are most inside Zarzuela, everyone who wants to have an audience with them must go there, so Filipe and Letizia ussualy don't go out of the Palace and see the real life. See how the entreprises work, talk to their empolyees, show them off to everyone!
It is quite normal that they rise attentions from all, everyone wants to see them, it is quite normal that everyone is asking where is leonor'Where is letizia if she doesn't appear for a while! I think that we should not critise those who ask for them because has they are going to be future Queen and King they raise expectation around them! So I think that they should work more hand to hand with the media! It is important to do that!! There is a lack of sympathybetween them and the media IMO.

I agree that it seems that recently a lot of official engagements are inside Zarzuela, specially Letizia's. I think Letizia really wants to keep working as much as she can, so she at least tries to be present in the engagements at Zarzuela, that are closer to where she lives and allow her to go back home sooner.
We have to remember thought that last Spring (May, early June) when the princess was not pregnant, both Felipe and Letizia were visiting many cities in the Madrid province, interacting with the people, visiting local businesses, etc.
I'm sure that after Letizia has the new baby, and then the summer vacations are over, she'll be back working very hard and making many appearances, but for that we'll have to wait till September/October.

Saturn said:I think the SRF tries to protect the princes. While King JC and the Queen are highly respected there's a lack of sympathy between the Princes of Asturias and the media, they are always talking about the lack of spontaneity of Felipe or the eating disorders of Letizia or even about Leonor's health. I think it is a pity.
