They put green to the princess eleanor from this Friday. But it’s khaki green because they dress her as a military, not because it falls bad. Quite the opposite. The princess of Asturias likes her. She is gorgeous in her uniform and, at 17 years old, exhibits an admirable maturity and education; and now we also know that the Heiress has the capacity to sacrifice.
His little sister, only 16 years old, is a beauty. Not because she is tall and beautiful, nor because she always has a bright smile for the photographers (much appreciated); but because her public image is an example to follow, showing values and attitudes that add up in favor of the Royal House and her parents. Doña Letizia and the infanta sofia They are in Australia to attend this Sunday, August 20, the final of the Women’s Soccer World Cup.
The presence of mother and daughter in the Accor Stadium box supporting our National Team is one more example of their commitment to gender equality. The youngest daughter of the Kings, in addition, is a great follower of this sport. After returning from Sydney, she will travel to Wales to start her studies at UWC Atlantic College, where she will study for the next two years, following in her sister’s footsteps.
Sofia y Leonor They are a pride not only for Felipe VI y Mrs. Letizia but for the Institution itself, and therefore for the good of the vast majority of Spaniards, who coexist sovereignly in the form of State that we have given ourselves and which is none other than the parliamentary monarchy.
Of the eight grandchildren of Juan Carlos I y doña sofia, we can affirm that six have turned out good. Because if the future queen and her sister show promise, the four sons of Iñaki Urdangarin and the infanta christina They have turned out magnificent, which adds merit if we take into account that “children, what they see at home”. Because Juan, Pablo, Miguel e Irene Urdangarin Borbon, all of whom are of legal age, are a miracle of nature in light of the long and intense media ordeal that tortured their childhood and adolescence. It is true that thanks to the money obtained by their parents they lived between cotton, materially speaking. But they are not guilty or responsible for any wrongdoing. On the contrary, they have been victims.
First there were the scandals due to suspicions of corruption about his mother and father; later came the dock for both the Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin, and then the humiliation of the sentence (5 years and 10 months in prison) and prison for a thief for who had been an Olympic hero with a medal, a handsome athlete who stole the hearts of the beautiful daughter of King Juan Carlos before perpetrating other misdeeds that have little or nothing to do with the love story that the magazines painted.
As if that blow was not enough for the Urdangarin-Borbón, shortly after stepping on the street, the former handball player hit the mother of his children with the cutest blonde who made eyes at him in the office. He fell in love. That is not a crime. But the kids once again suffered (and are suffering) and gave a lesson in serenity, behavior and knowing how to be, and they resisted the media onslaught admirably. One opts for motor racing and Extreme E, another already earns a living following the virtuous part of his father with handball, another, passionate about marine sciences and the youngest, after graduation, does internships before starting with the hotel business in a very expensive but very prestigious center.
These are the next challenges for Juan, Pablo, Miguel and Irene Urdangarin, without a doubt the best work of their parents, to whom many mistakes can be blamed but to whom it is necessary to recognize the very important success of having educated their children well. It is true that they had the wealth and the means to educate them wherever they wanted, but others also had this and other privileges, and yet their public image is lamentable. Because the Marichalar Borbón are not exactly the golden dream of those who ensure that the family of Felipe VI falls as best as possible to as many subjects as possible. froilan y Victoria Federica They respectively occupy the fourth and fifth place in the line of succession to the Throne, in accordance with article 57 of the Constitution.
Both are at the other end of what their grandfather called “exemplary” on Christmas Eve when he was head of state, and their lovers and bites they remained hidden. The sons of Jaime de Marichalar y the infanta Elena They are, it is said, the favorite grandchildren of Don Juan Carlos. Because Froilán and Victoria de Marichalar are the ones who visit him the most, the ones who went with him to the bullfights and later to eat Michelin stars for the expensive price or whatever. They are also more than presumably the ones who had something like black cards of the grandfather and of course they are and have been for a long time the most scandalous.
Undoubtedly, parents and grandparents must love everyone, but the equidistance is sometimes unfair. It is not the same to end the summer in a barracks, beginning your military training with the characteristic discipline of the prestigious General Military Academy of Zaragoza, like Leonor, than to go around all day boasting on well-paid covers and on social networks of parties, trips, night, morreos and bags of ten thousand euros. Victoria Federica, who turns 23 in a few days, at Leonor’s age she was in the media because she had just “triphasic” in La Nuit, that place in Madrid where the eighteen year olds and where his feet stuck to the ground.
Victoria Federica: patriotic posture and triphasic at night
Victoria Federica is a posturing patriot and claims to be very Spanish, but her attitude does not help the Crown of Spain. Subtraction. And a lot. If Leonor, about to turn 18, now appears with the surname Borbón Ortiz embroidered on the four new uniforms that she was given when she entered Zaragoza, her older cousin has the image of superficiality, the absence of values, sewn on her forehead. and rudeness in front of the public, even when he appears charging at paid events. The brands do very badly to put money to associate with a Bourbon that does not embroider her last name in favor of the Crown, that is, hers, her uncle, Felipe of hers and what she represents of her.
Victoria Federica, If we look at social networks and magazines, he lives in a world colored by idiots. Yes, he is as old as he is. But her younger cousins are exemplary. VicMabor dresses up, puts on makeup and combs her hair to go to a party. But, he wears his hair loose or tied up in a bun with a net (as the Bourbon Cadet has to do), what he conveys is that teases us leading the high life without giving a stick to the water just for being the niece of the head of state but without assuming any responsibility. What’s more, showing irresponsibility at times because she doesn’t seem to Froilan’s sister he cares about eroding the institution commanded by his uncle Felipe, who fights hard to repair the damage inflicted on the Bourbon image after the cascade of scandals carried out by his father and predecessor in office.
Why don’t Leonor and Sofía get close to Victoria Federica and Froilán?
It was said at the beginning of the summer that Queen Sofía was going to give herself the pleasure of seeing her eight grandchildren together in Marivent. It was published but it was not true. She never wanted Zarzuela that image that some media promised. Not that there was a change of plans. It is that Felipe and Letizia do not enjoy seeing their daughters with the pathological party girl of I will be victimized nor with cousin Froilán, to whom months ago they had to propose a kind of voluntary exile like that of his hummingbird grandfather because he was beginning to appear more in the Sucesos pages than in Informalia and the Hola. They say that when someone sensible in the family read in the same headline drugs, sauna and Froilán called Juan Carlos I to look for a godfather with petrodollars who would keep Doña Elena’s son away from the discos, the fights, the shootings and, above all, the paparazzi.
However, it is false that Letizia and her husband veto any family gathering between cousins. And much less that they have anything against any of the Urdangarin cousins nor, of course, does it bother them in the slightest that they see their cousins Leonor and Sofía. They tell us that the children of the infanta Cristina go to Zarzuela much more than what is known. They do it freely, to visit their grandmother and sometimes accompanied by their mother. If the coincidences occur and their cousins are there, they do not stop seeing them and the hugs are sincere, natural and emotional.
If Leonor and Sofía have not met this summer at the Marivent Palace, in Mallorca, with none of them, it is because the Infanta Cristina had decided to visit her maternal family in Greece and other work and study matters, depending on the case. In addition, the holidays for Princess Leonor have been special. She has said goodbye before her to enter the Zaragoza Military Academy as a cadet and fulfill her obligations with the Armed Forces, as her father already did. Before her, she was in the gardens of Alfàbia, in the Sierra de la Tramuntana with her sister and her parents, and she went out to dinner with her grandmother.
While Felipe VI was competing with Aifos in the Mapfre Cup, his daughters went sailing with a group of friends in the bay of Mallorca. They also went to the cinema to see Barbiewhere Leonor dared with the ‘barbicore’, all in pink, with a satin dress with a midi skirt and with a red manicure.
He is already in the Army and then the Military Air Schools will come in San Javier, Murcia, and the Navy in Marín, Pontevedra, three years of discipline, study and the joy of sailing on the Juan Sebastián Elcano school ship. All this, without neglecting his institutional obligations, the oath of the Constitution when he turns 18 on October 31 and his attendance at the awards that bear his name.
The princess’s tutor
the lieutenant colonel Brown Daisy of Santayana She is the tutor who will be with Leonor during her military training, which began “nervous”, but “with great desire”. Another essential guide is, of course, her father, and her superior now, whose advice has been to face “with patience and effort these first days, which will be very hard.”
The luxuries of the palace are now a cabin shared with 11 companions. Like all cadets, Leonor will have a study area with internet and lockers.
If the holidays are definitely over for Leonor (we have already seen her in formation with the rest of her colleagues), Victoria Federica burns Ibiza, flirts on a jet ski at high speed, very interested in a young man, strolls through Formentera, devours in Can Carlitos (his golden wafer), gets on boats for 6,000 euros a day for rent, and displays everything in his ‘stories’. It does not matter if she is in Starlite Occidente in Marbella or in the bullring of La Malagueta.
Froilán left has escaped from Abu Dhabi and has abandoned his job at the oil company for vacations; He has passed through Switzerland, visited his parents, and went to parties in Marbella with his gang. He was in Arganda del Rey, he turned to techno, with the singer Cepeda, or with the ‘influencer’ Belén Perea, and then of course to Ibiza. He has already returned to Abu Dhabi. For Mallorca we did not see him.
