What a terrible thing to say. How is she failing at being a mother? She's a great mother. How are they boring? They probably just don't enjoy being persued by cameras. If people were taking pictures of you against your wishes, would you smile? And we rarely see Cristina's sons smiling these days. Juan looked really forlorn in some of those pictures. And kids will be kids. What did Victoria do at this baptism? Froilan was just bored at Felipe's wedding and found a somewhat unorthodix way to amuse himself. He's only 7!

But Irene's godmother looks much more angry in most pictures. Why is this grls so serious and rigid?! :(


Sometimes people make kids look worst in this public occasions.
I had a cousin who usuall misbehave and when he had to go to a wedding or something formal everyone started buzzing him "You behave yourself!" "You don't run!" "You smile all the time" and the result was a complete disaster - he was always so tense that when I see this old pictures of him it almost hurts.

I agree with PrincessBellyFlop - Juan Froilan behaved badly in the wedding. Kicking a cousin is not an item, at all, in any circumstance.
Her cousins were starting to misbehave bad for the end of ceremony. But they are children after all and in time they will look handsome and behaving princes. And what stories would they have from their childwood without this spontaneous moments?!

Regards.

Is this photo that of the Hola? I have seen also the magazine, there is a very nice photo of all the children sat in the banks, and one of very pretty Letizia speaking with the father of Iñaki.

According to the press it was Iñaki's gift for the birth of her daughter.

Who are all the kids in blue shirts in this picture: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...mentid=170966? Are they kids from one family? Are they from Juanito and Pablo's school or something? I thought that they might be a choir performing at the baptism but it seemed out of place for such a low-key family affair. I find it unusual that if they're not related or part of a special organization or something that they would be dressed so similarly. Especially since Cristina and Inaki don't strike me as a couple who would say that there is a dress code at their daughter's baptism such as light blue tops and white or cream-coloured bottoms.

Is this Inaki's father greeting Letizia? http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=170965

(Also noticed how much Inaki resembles his mother in the picture of his parents at the baptism.)

I wait not to get confused, the children who were were: 5 grandsons of the Kings, the nephews of Iñaki (he has 5 sisters and a brother, I believe), the children of Simoneta, the children of the godfathers (Rosario and Kyril have 3 children and Cristina de Borbón - Dos Sicilias and Pedro Lopez Quesada I believe that two), and also the children of Kubrat of Bulgaria and Carla Royo.

The man who is with Letizia is Juan Maria Urdangarín, the father of Iñaki.
