Now wouldn't it be interesting if the princess of Asturias married a son of the Greek royal house, CP Pavlos and Marie Chantal. That would be an interesting situation.

: This episode, and by extension, Letizia's
: attempt at controlling her daughters' access
: to her husband's family, reminds me of the
: pathetic attempt of Queen Victoria's mother,
: Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld,
: in micro-managing her daughter's upbringing
: and limiting her exposure to the Court of
: her uncle, King William IV.

: We all know how that ended! Upon becoming
: queen, Victoria banished her mother and her
: private secretary, John Conroy, far away
: from her presence. Although, ultimately,
: mother and daughter later reconciled.

: So, who knows? In a similar way that Felipe
: "rebelled" against his parents'
: wishes by marrying a divorced commoner with
: a very different upbringing than him, maybe
: Leonor might also rebel against Letizia and
: actually marry a royal prince or, at least,
: a nobleman. Just wishful thinking on my
: part!
