The Times has commented that an invitation of Prince Felipe's to Prince Charles' marriage has became a argument between the Queen and Prince Charles. I thought that Felipe and Letizia had already moved their schedual around to accomandate.


“There is a spat over the King and Queen of Spain,” says one courtier. Charles wants to invite them, but the Queen says it would be better to ask Prince Felipe, heir to the Spanish throne. NI_MPU('middle');Not only is the Queen fond of Felipe — who is uncomplicated and not extravagant (unlike some heirs one could mention) — but she thinks the presence of King Juan Carlos wouldn’t fit the “low key” ceremony Charles had promised her. It’s not even clear whether the couple would actually accept

what are you talking about??? Is not felipe the future regent?

If Felipe has only daughters, his oldest daughter will become queen. The Spanish law favors male over females, but, if there's only females, the oldest will become the Princess of Asturias and will acceed to the throne one day.

This option you refer to applies only if Felipe has no heirs.

The american magazine Esquire has set its eyes in Felipe de Borbón, who they consider now one of the 20 men in the world with more bearing. His "calm and preservative look" is resembled to the one of the very same James Bond. And still more, it describes the Heir to the Throne as a modern, elegant man "and with an appearance of a leading star of Hollywood". A reference to those who choose a "discreet style but with personality".
Voilá!

El Príncipe de Asturias presidió un ejercicio de demostración de combate frente a las costas de Murcia y Alicante

AGENCIAS

El Príncipe de Asturias, Don Felipe de Borbón, presidió hoy, a bordo de la fragata "Almirante Juan de Borbón", un ejercicio de demostración de la capacidad de combate de este buque, desarrollado en aguas del mar Mediterráneo frente a las costas de Alicante y Murcia.

Don Felipe, que vistió el uniforme de trabajo de capitán de corbeta de la Armada, embarcó a las 11,00 horas por vía aérea, ya que se desplazó en un helicóptero de la V Escuadrilla hasta el buque, cuando el barco ya se encontraba en alta mar.
El Príncipe de Asturias, que fue recibido en la fragata por el Almirante General, Jefe del Estado Mayor de la Armada, Sebastián Zaragoza, y el Almirante de la Flota, Angel Tello, asistió tanto desde el Centro de Información y Combate (CIC) como desde el puente de mando del buque al ejercicio de demostración.

The Prince of Asturias, Don Felipe de Borbón, pleaded today for the reinforcement of the bonds between the United States and Europe, 'as an essential base for the progress and security of a group of united nations, on the defence of such ideals and values'.

Initially the dinner was expected to be presided over by the Princes of Asturias, but Garrigues announced that Doña Letizia would not attend it and added that 'we are sad the Princess does not attend, but we are pleased that she is taking care of her and her descendent’.
