You forgot that the Norwegian royal house almost sued the German press when they suggested that Ingrid had health problem with little hair growing. This was from the nonsense German tabloids, not Norwegian own press. Can you image Haakon and MM's reaction if Norwegian own press started Ingrid's hair speculation ? The Spanish royal house has always been very passive towards tabloids' speculations and let its own tabloids mangle Letizia whatever they wanted all the time, they still didn't do anything when some journalists speculated on Leonor's health problem, her eyes' problem. Letizia couldn't defend herself, her baby, probably were not allowed either. That's the most she coud say, 'look at my baby, she has beautiful eyes, she is completely healthy'. On the other hand, if she didn't say anything, some journalists might restart speculation on Leonor's eyes again. It's good that she said something, now the rumors on the problem of Leonor's eyes died completely.

Here is a Danish article from Lanzarote, in the possible best (or worst) Billedbladet writing style, painfully saccharine, I don’t know if I have good enough English to translate such sugar and all the adjectives they use but here it goes and the pics are big and nice

Billedbladet nr1

Daddy’s own Princess
Even if she is only 3 months Leonor has the most beautiful blue eyes that look curiously out on the world. Rightly most babies are born with blue eyes but Leonors daddy has also blue eyes and the Spaniards hopes that the precious little Princess will keep her blue eyes which is not so common in southern Europe, and the girl born on oct 31 is already a little charmer

Princess Leonor has grown since the birth in the Ruber hospital and weighs already more than 5 kilos, 1,5 more than at her birth. The little hair on her head indicates she will have her mother hair colour and hopefully she will look like her, because Princess Letizia is really something of a beauty

Tiny Leonor was 3 weeks early and born by a c-section but the birth had no complications and Crown Prince Felipe was present for the birth, “To see your child being born is the most beautiful thing in the world” the Crown Prince couple lives in a giant house close to the Zarzuela Palace (Me: cant really call it a palace IMO)

Recently they had some days of vacation at Lanzarote where the Royal Family owns a big house and it was her tiny Leonor was presented. She was held both by her mother and her father and was wearing the prettiest tiny jeans, a white blouse and woollen sweater with red trimmings. At her feet she had pretty white shoes of the most beautiful soft leather. Even if Leonor was born two weeks after our own Prince she will be christened the week before at the church in Zarzuela

Already after the birth Felipe and Letizia told that they would call their daughter Leonor after a medieval Queen that lived 1122-1204, and was a very independent woman with several modern ideas. She is counted as the woman who first but equality on the map of Spain. The Spanish Royal couple will honour be naming their daughter after her

and billedbladet also has a small story on her in their 2 edition...

I don’t know if the content of this is true, I have not seen it reported here, maybe someone could confirm she said it?? Anyway its in the same sugar style as the previous article and the rest of the content of this magazine

Letizia hopes for more children
Letizia enjoys her role as a mother and hopes to make the child that is christened on Saturday a big sister as soon as possible
- I really want to be a mother again, as soon as possible.
Letizia and Felipe had barely presented their daughter until Letizia told about her wish to extend the family. With the girly facial features, the violet blue eyes and heart shaped lips is Leonor also a darling doll-child. That she was already when she was born 3 months ago, because as many other children born by c-section her skin was perfect and smooth, and its no wonder that the paternal grandfather only refers to her as the sweet little creature. All the mahogany coloured hair she had at the birth has thinned out a little and is lighter and shorter, maybe because the parents can’t avoid kissing her at the head all the time. Both Felipe and Letizia adores their little girl

Also Norwegian Se og HØr dedicated two pages to these pictures, usually they stuff most of the foreign royals at royal-summary page in the back

Letizia didn't textually say that sentence... (otherwise, it would certainly have been the most quoted sentence in the history of Hola... )
