At this time, and as usual, the Royal House congratulates Christmas to the Spanish and this year His Majesties have decided to give the prominence to their daughters, (to see if I do not mess with the titles) His Royal Highness Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Her Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Sofía. As it happened last year in the coronation of King Felipe VI, the Infantas are once again participants in a social life very different from that of any other child of their age and as such, not without controversy and that is that the Christmas greeting of the Royal House raises the controversy over the Infantas again.
"Every day there is a reason for hope and harmony in our hearts. May the ideals of Christmas always illuminate that path"
It is the phrase that is written in the congratulation and that has been signed, both by His Majesties The Kings, His Royal Highnesses the Infantas and the Kings Emeritus (Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía) and is illustrated with the work, "The Birth of Jesús "by Bernardino Luini and a photo of the Infantas instead of one of his parents.
As we can see, a 'Christmas' or Christmas postcard quite common, like any family like mine or yours could send this Christmas. I do not think he is the only one who knows someone who sends a Christmas greeting with the photograph of his children to all his family and friends. Hence I do not understand the stir this year, except perhaps because of the use, intentional or not, who wanted to give the Casa Real to its younger members.
They are Royal Highnesses, but they are also girls
I am no expert in the "magazines of the heart" but I think I am not mistaken in saying that the Infantas are not the ones that usually occupy covers and that although their parents are public and singular characters, and therefore they also are not usually Exposed except on occasions when the protocol governs, and mandates.
Can you reproach them for having given a space to the girls when they should be the ones to congratulate Christmas? Well, I honestly do not believe it, moreover, I intend to do the same this year, yes, my congratulations are not addressed to millions of Spaniards but half a dozen of them, but it is what you have not been born in a Royal cradle . Nor will I go into issues of republics and monarchies, that is not the purpose of this publication, for me it seems a correct way to congratulate the Fiestas and the background, well, we leave it for the coffee gathering.
Expose the Infantas to be criticized? I think that to criticize that two girls of eighteen have congratulated Christmas together with their parents and posed for a photo of sisters is to get out of the pot, simply because like the rest of children of similar ages, in the end, they will do what their parents say and hairstyles, which is the only thing that is seen, because as the father of two boys, I see it right, it is more, they do not know how much I am glad not to have to do those complicated hairstyles to my children ( or so at least it seems to me). But it is clear that the criticisms will always be there even though they always come for the actions of their parents.
