The succession regulation is regulated by the constitution l not by a law, like nobiliary succession. We have discussed it many times.
The SRF always had double standards.
Don't forget that when the law changed for holders of aristocratic titles, allowing the first born to inherit even with retroactive repercussions, with brothers having to ceed to elder sisters the titles they were using for years, the RF was spared with the equal gender principle.
If Sofia had been a boy, or if the couple had had a third (male) son, he would have been the heir.
(unless legal changes were made).
So, no surprise if Sofia will receive a title when she will marry, like her aunts and great-aunts.
Regarding King Felipe's interest being "null", I would then ask doesn't he have to take some interest in the future when his own younger daughter marries, and by custom he gives her a ducal title? So at least...family obligations continue?
No, not a rethoric question. With King Juan Carlos probably this abolition of titles would not be proposed. In the previous law , passed in 2018, dealing with the so called “historical memory”, nothing was said about titles. But King Felipe has not the “past” his father had and, anyway, his interest in nobiliary titles is…, so to say, “null”.
Manuel, are you posing a rhetorical question, or was it meant to summarize the general attitude during the previous reign?
