Infanta Elena: Pictures as a Girl and Young Woman

[crisiñaki]

Elena has the Borbon nose and some of KJC features

 

[Eliza]

Overall, I think Elena looks more like Queen Sofia. Whereas, Christina and Felipe looks more like King JC

 

[adelaide]

It's very funy because for me Felipe looks more german that spanish boy; it's means he looks more his mother than JC . As said the Queen speaking de Leonor just after her birth :" rasgos de los dos " .........

Wow K!
Thanks soo much for that pic, it's the first time I've ever seen Elena wearing the Diamond flower Tiara, she usually gets the Hellenic ones

You are most welcome I had not noticed that as I was too much concentrated on that huge dress

lol, that's one big shouldered dress, but I've seen her in biggest outfits in the *shudders* 80's, even if the early 90's still had some of that collateral damage

I wrote the name the way we write it here in Germany
And N. I hope fashion will never bring us back those big shouldered dresses

Don't worry I wouldn't wear that things even if someone put a gun in my head!
Thankfully, I've never been a fashion victim

I think that Infanta Elena has a striking ressemblance to one of her ancestors in the Borbon's side: the Queen Maria Luisa de Borbón -Parma, Carlos IV's wife and Godoy lover...Yes; the one who was portrayed by Goya so many times. She even has the same way of smiling...And Froilan and little Victoria are the spitting image of her too...In a nicer way, of course...

oh okay...thought so, because we don't translate names here in the Philippines.

but thanks so much for the pics! i haven't seen them before.

You are most welcome, RhapsodyBrat. Me, I would prefer if names were not translated just like you do it in the Philippines

in this pic, the expression on Elena's face certainly reminds me of Victoria Federica as a baby!

Yeah, the women of this family (specially the Greek side) are incredibly elegant without even trying, it's so awesome!

I think so too. There have surely been even more men surrounding her, as the pic is only showing parts of it..
