But if you want to go childish than yes nothing in the Spanish constitution forces the Princess of Asturias let alone the Infanta Sofia to take on representational responsibilities for the King.
At the same time that will never be about tonight because Royal schedules are planned months if not years in advance.

: The Princess and Infanta are also at an age
: where they should be allowed to say no to
: their grandmother if they do not want to be
: held or photographed.
:
: Oh really? Hope they’ll be able to say no to
: their father when they’ll be asked to
: perform some engagemente on his behalf: “No,
: sorry, I already have plans for that
: evening”.
:
: The photo moment that
: is scheduled is outside if all three are
: happy to have their picture also taken
: indoors that's fine but if not than their
: wishes should also be respected by the
: public and their grandmother. Im sure Queen
: Sofia would not want to force her
: granddaughters into it.

: I agree the incident has been over blown.
:
: I think it was a moment which is quite
: typical in most families and was a normal
: kind of run in between mothers-in-law and
: daughters-in-law, which are almost always
: about the children/grandchildren. It was
: just unfortunate this one was in public and
: involved a Royal Family.
:
: However if I understand your analysis
: correctly, you are saying the reason for the
: scene was that
: Q Sofia breached royal protocol and Q
: Letizia, quickly reacted to Q Sofia's
: alleged breach and tried to reinforce the
: correct precedence, in doing so getting into
: a tense few moments with her mother-in-law
: and husband, while her father-in-law looks
: on absolutely confused by what is being
: said.
:
: Isn't that kind of worse though?
:
: Even though I think Q Letizia reacted
: incorrectly in the circumstances, I can have
: considerable sympathy for a woman who thinks
: her child is not being treated properly or
: forced to do something she doesn't want to
: do, even if the person doing it is her
: grandma.
:
: “a woman who thinks her child is not being
: treated properly or forced to do something
: she doesn't want to”
:
: Wow. Is that how you read it? The Princess
: being forced to do something by her
: grandmother?
: I hate to say this but what kind of
: snowflake would the princess be if she can’t
: handle being photographed for 5 seconds with
: her grandmother and sister?!
:
: However the idea that Q Letizia reacted like
: that because Q Sofia may have messed up the
: correct precedence of leaving the Cathedral,
: I am really struggling with that.
:
: If it were true how highly strung must Q
: Letizia be? Just leaving the house in her
: morning must stress her out.
