I'm so happy for them! After three boys, a little girl is now part of the family. Wow. This baby girl will have an army of big brothers; dating will be interesting to watch.

I love the name they gave her. So simple and yet so elegant.

Must be such a happy time for the family.

When a journalist asked Iñaki for the “handball team” that he said he was thinking to form, after the birth of his third son, he answered that “now the end of the game is whistled”.

Congratulations to the parents ...i'm sooooooo happy for them , a Baby Girl Finally

 

[Alisa]

Congratulations to the family.

I'm not too fond of the name, but the meaning is most certainly beautiful. I saw an ecstactic King today while watching the finals at Roland Garros and now with the birth of a new grand child the King must be feeling overjoyed.

The president of the Government, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, congratulated Infanta Cristina by telephone. Zapatero also sent individual telegrams to the Dukes of Palma, and to the King and Queen, expressing his best wishes.

 

[tricia]

Can't wait for the first pics of little Irene!

 

[Dennism]

Can´t wait indeed for the photos of the baby. Congratulations to the parents. I hope Irene will bring them much joy.

 

[Lena]

Congratulations to the family.

I'm not too fond of the name, but the meaning is most certainly beautiful.

I´m also not sure, what to think. It´s one of these names which were given to baby girls in german speaking countries thousands of times between 1960-1980. So I´ve many associativites in my mind...
But you are right the meaning is beautiful and I´m pretty sure it´s pronounced differently in Spain. Unfortunately I don´t get the video clips running, so I don´t know...

 

[planetcher]

How do you pronounce Irene in Spanish? It shouldn't be the same in English, right? I can't open the videos either.

 

[Victoria1999]

Congratulation to the family. I am very happy for them

Infanta Cristina entered the hospital, yesterday at 9:30 a.m., with small contractions, and gave birth natural and quickly, in only fifteen minutes, shortly before 4 p.m.. The gynaecologist said that the Infanta will remain in the clinic for three days.

Don Juan Carlos received the news at the stadium of Roland Garros by a phone call. Immediately he made an euphoric gesture with his thumb and promptly received the congratulations from the personalities around him. Few minutes after this, the Royal House officially notified the birth. On the other hand, the Queen, who had accompanied the King to Paris, watched the first minutes of the final match, but, at the end of the first set, she left the stadium, to take an airplane back to Barcelona. Doña Sofia declared, at her arrival to the clinic, that she was feeling a special emotion for the fourth child of Infanta Cristina being a girl".

The Dukes of Palma also received the visit of Iñaki’s parents, Juan Maria Urdangarín and Clara Liebaert.

Wow. Congratulations to Inaki and Cristina on the birth of their baby daughter.
I like how they're giving her just one name, quite understated, i must say.
