She does have a lot of Greek in her looks. Her eyes are very Bourbon, almost see through blue, like some of her Bourbon ancestors. She is an adorable little girl!

Did you perhaps meet her and her parents recently?

Not her parents. Her grandmother who had been with the girls before arriving to where we met at a private family gathering in Madrid, which I was also invited to.

I got lovely pictures of Leonor and Sofía from their parents for Christmas and one of the photographers we use in Spain also sent us lovely closeups.

Regards,

Arturo

It's really nice, if you have the possibility to take part in something like that. For people like me only dreams....

Since Arturo's magazine is read by so many royals, he has excellent access to them, not only as subjects for the magazine but also as friends. Many of us who were attending the Eurohistory conference in 2004 (I believe it was 04) got to see this camaraderie when Prince Alexander and Princess Barbara of Yugoslavia were the guests of honor.

I missed meeting some Bourbon Two Sicilies prince and princess year before last, but I heard from some who attended the conference that they were quite lovely people as well.

Many times I have joked with Arturo and asked if I can jump in one of his suitcases. I suppose we live vicariously through his travels and contacts.

So many want to do so that I should travel with streamer trunks!

 ;)

Thanks,

When the Prince succeeds to the throne, will he be called Philip VI in the English language media? When his daughter succeeds him, which number will she have after her name?
