The Infantas and Royal Duties

[vdebono]

I just love Elena and Cristina, they have inherited their mother's quiet and understated sense of duty. They never show their bad patches in public, are always ready with a smile and always affable. May they both be Blessed now and in the years to come.

What kind of duties do Elena and Cristina perform? On average how many engagements per month? I am curious to know more about the Infantas, as there seems to be a lot of respect for them. Did they perform more duties before they got married for example, and now concentrate more on their respective families?

I definitely agree with you on this. Elena and Cristina both have their mother's quiet, dignified and resptful manner. They are both very devoted and loyal to their country and represent Spain very well on royal duties.

I don't think neither of the Infantas perform a certain number of royal duties each month or each year. And I certainly don't think they perform as many duties as say Princess Anne in Great Britain. The Infantas perform some duties and are patrons of some charities and organizations, such as the Red Cross, and I believe Cristina is the patron of some art organizations because of her job. But I think that the King and Queen and Felipe do the bulk of royal duties.
