Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía were enchanted with their new granddaughter, Infanta Leonor, whom they described as 'chubby and round’. ‘I lost the bet’, said the Queen, smiling to the journalists, about the sex of the baby. Don Juan Carlos considered the chosen name as ‘precious’ and assured that they had kept the secret very well. Although the King said that he was not able to point similarities to, Doña Sofía assured that she is 'a mixture of everybody', with 'brown hair’ and 'a little weeper’. The Queen added that the girl and Doña Letizia are perfectly well and the Princess is recovering.

No. Infanta Cristina is in Barcelona. She spoked to the press there. The press says that maybe she travel to Madrid at the end of the day to know Leonor.

The Royal House asked the organization in charge of the management of the Internet a block to all the sites that directly or indirectly allude to the name of Leonor, after the birth of the first-born of the Princes of Asturias.

How can they do this, and WHY would they do this? That seems SO weird to me.

Imagine Scandinavia

Francisco Rocasolano, maternal grandfather of Princess Letizia celebrates the birth of his great grand daughter Leonor in Madrid. He and his wife reside in easter city of Alicante by the Mediterranea coast. Neighbours went to congratulate and toast for newborn princess

All the pictures are so wonderful! Again, congrats to Felipe, Letizia and all of Spain!

How can they do this, and WHY would they do this? That seems SO weird to me.

Because they do not want someone to take the domain name leonor.org or leonor.es etc and use it for business purposes or even worse put porn on it. All royal houses register the most prominent domain name to avoid beeing exploited, that was how Amalias name was revealed before the Prince told it because it was discovered that the royal house had registered the name catharina-amalia.com (or something like that)

It's not weird at all. This is a way of impeding non-authorized sites of the Infanta, since that's the only way of preserving her image and preventing the abuses that were verified immediatly after the engagement announcement. It's a way of defending the Infanta's rights.

 

[xicamaluca]

Is for prevence any abuses with the name of the Infanta. I remember that when the announced of the engagement was made, some people resistrated web page domains in the name of Letizia and put there all kind of rumour and false statements. Some people belived that they were true because they thought that were official sites or somenting.

And from what i've read in spanish press, the Royal House didn´t ask to block, they registrated the domains for prevent that some others use them.

I´m seeing the Kings speak to the press and the King said that we couldn´t describe with whom she looks like and when Queen Sofia was explaining that the little Infanta was chubby, the King, looking very proud, said "and she has 47 cm" The kings were very amused and happy and saying jokes to the press. Great moment!!

 

[Mette2]

Congratulations to Felipe, Letizia, their families, and Spain. How wonderful that they had a girl. Hope Leonor will become queen one day just like Elisabeth, Amalia, and Ingrid Alexandra.

Thank you all for the wonderful pictures, updates, and stories.
