: I was talking of being held by their
: grandmother. Even children have their own
: physical integraty. If Leonor prefers not to
: have her grandmother's arm around her that
: grandmother has to respect her
: granddaughter's wishes.
: 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.
:
: There are always unexpected events.

: 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.
