I am not sure Infanta Elena does not like gala dinners. She was excluded from State events after the Noos scandal (two for the price of one). I still remember that pathetic year when, at the National day military parade, she was kicked off the royal box and had to seat with the leader of the opposition. But it was one of the day she showed to everybody how regal she was. After that day she "vanished", not voluntarily, of course. And, then, when her brother became King, she was excluded from the Royal Family and the Royal House announced she will not represent the RH at royal events (with rare exception, and not paid). A loss for the Royal House, but we know about their priorities.
I suggest you read Javier Cacho's recent article in voz populi. Very illustrative.
