I don't think so. She will be bumped down if she has brothers unless they change the succession laws.

So the Crown Princesses are 50/50 this year. Mary and Mathilde had boys. Letitizia and Maxima girls. All that's left is Mette-Marit and since she had a girl last time, hopefully she have a boy this time.

I think the majority of Juan Carlos & Sophia's grandchildren are boys so this will even it up a bit (I think it's now 4/3) and Infanta Christina just had a baby girl, Irene, not too long ago so the new Infanta will have a close girl cousin.  :)

I wonder what the name wil be. Here are some of the names in the RF so far:

Infanta Elena Maria Isabella Dominica, Duquesa de Lugo
1) Felipe Juan Froilán
2) Victoria Federica  

Infanta Cristina Friederika Victoria Antonia Duquesa de Palma de Majorca  
1) Juan Valentin
2) Pablo Nicolás
3) Miguel
4) Irene

Juan Carlos's mother was Mercedes (who died fairly recently). Sophia's mother was Frederika. There were Queens Victoria Eugenie (paternal) and Sophie and Victoria Louise as maternal grandmothers. Juan Carlos has sisters Pilar (that's a pretty name) and Margarita.

Maybe Mercedes Pilar or vice-versa? With a Victoria and/or Sophie tossed in. Since Elena's daughter is Victoria, that name obviously wasn't 'ear-marked' for the heir's children. I like how Christina had an Irene--her aunt's name.

Sophia is not very Spanish....I tend to favour Mecedes, Pilar and Victoria. Beatriz is not bad either.

They said on another forum that it will be Leonor. It's apparently the Spanish/Portuguese version of Eleanor. I like Eleanor but I don't like Leonor. It's not up to me though.  :) There are slight variations but the basic meaning is 'light'. It's apparently pronounced lay-on-OR.

There was buzz yesterday about a room in the hospital being made ready for Letitzia--I guess they were right. I wonder if it was a c-section?

I was pulling for something like Pilar or Isabella but it apparently does have royal and ethnic connections:

Leonor of Aragon- Queen of Navarre

Infanta Leonor of Castille- Queen of Portugal and France

I wonder how soon the speculation about Baby Boy Glucksburg and the little Infanta will begin?  :)

Infanta Leonor of Spain,most probable the Heir presumptive as Spain is to change the Salic Law under the present government.In that case any speculation in connection with our mistery name Glücksburg boy would be just that,speculation.It's a bit of a name to get used too,Leonor,but say it repetitively and it's a familiar name in no time........ :D

Yes. Infanta Leonor sound like a medivial Queen of Castile or Portugal. Maybe it is intented to be paid tribute to ancient rulers, like the case of Prince William or Prince Henry of England.

At last, we have the heir's heir! I like the name Leonor, and I don't mind being reigned by Leonor I of Spain one day!


Congratulations to the Royal Family.


P.S. Everbody is talking about changing the Succession Laws, so yes, Leonor will one day be our queen.
