: Where in the States did Froilan attend school?
: I had not heard this before.

:
: Yes, it seems that after two years of
: “reclusion” at school in the States, Froilan
: is trying to catch up all the
: "lost" possible fun in Spain
: (especially in Madrid and Marbella). He is
: certainly young and that’s the way it should
: be among young people.
:
: Anyway it is striking that the members of
: his group of close male friends are not so
: young. Some of them are 8-10 years older
: than him. Bull fighters, football players
: among them. Most of them, bull-fight
: enthusiasts. People old enough and with
: experience enough to move around easily in
: clubs and all kind of environments.
:
: The female friends, however, all socialite
: young rich ladies, are same age as him. To
: make it more O/T one of them is the
: granddaughter of the late Duchess of Alba, a
: daughter of a bullfighter herself and other
: one is Alba Diaz, also a sibling of another
: famous bullfighter. (Froilan has publicly
: declared himself a deep devoted fan of the
: national fest, same as his mother and
: grandfather). His alledged current
: girl-friend is the granddaughter of a rich
: Spanish businessman.
:
: So, personally, I’m a bit skeptical about
: the influence these full grown-up male
: friends can produce on him and on his
: behaviour. Just my opinion. R.

: Please note I am not blaming the King for
: what
: must have been a terrible accident, however
: I am just illustrating that people make
: silly mistakes when they are young and do
: not realise the consequences of their
: actions.
:
: Infanta Elena's son is not 20, my
: understanding from what I have read about
: him is that he is boisterous, confident and
: rather entitled.
:
: If he still has these issues in 5 or 10
: years time sure, call him all the names
: under the sun, but he is still a youth and
: he does not come from perfect family, so
: holding him up against some imagined pure
: dynasty is unfair.

: Well, unfortunately Froilan is famous for
: his
: presumptuous outbursts in public and for not
: exactly exercising the proper self-control
: befitted to his royal pedigree (as an adult,
: I mean, I'm not talking about the child's
: kicks during the 2004 wedding). THat's why
: he is very much followed by the social
: media. His parents are very much upset about
: this. R.

: I think we should compare them more to the
: children of Felipe's aunts and if we're
: looking abroad those of the Princess Royal
: in the UK and those of Prince Constantijn in
: the Netherlands. Yes they are in line of
: succession but will unlikely every have an
: official role in the monarchy. They are/have
: been raised to build their own life being
: respectful of the family they come from.

: No, they do not and will not have any public
: role.
: But, yes, their lives are of interest, at
: least for the social media.

:
: Infanta Elena's children are 4th and 5th in
: the line of succession to the throne, so is
: it likely that Don Froilan and Dona
: Victoria will have any public roles in the
: future, much like the York princesses in
: U.K. ? Infanta Elena's children are in
: their late teens now...is there much media
: interest about their lives and what they do?
: Thanks.

: I did not say anything about non royals not
: behaving properly in public. You are making
: assumptions.

: The Countess of Barcelona was born royal and
: knew how to
: behave in public.
:
: What a bizarre pairing of traits,
: particularly when one considers the many
: egregious and colorful fools, psychos,
: letchers and other assorted nasty characters
: in royal history.
:
: As you probably know, the vast majority of
: people in the world "who know how to
: behave in public" were not "born
: royal." The two characteristics are not
: intrinsically linked.
