dazzling said:Will this be a ceserean too or natural delivery? I know its hard to say but since she had a cecerean maybe this would be one too, i dont know if anything was mentiond.
Avalon said:I don't think there has been any official announcement about this but I guess it's very probable she will give birth via Caesarian again.
If you have given brith before via Caesarian, it's more preferable (and easier) to do it again.

Denmark changed their law a couple of months ago I think. I'm pretty sure it was discussed on this forum as well.LadyK said:Belgium changed its laws to equal when Princess Elizabeth was a baby. Sweden changed theirs when Prince Carl Philip was born. Norway changed theirs when Ingrid Alexandra was born, however, Haakon, like Felipe, is the youngest, but outranks his older sister. Britain still has a male-preference rule, as does Denmark, and Luxembourg (I think, but it may be male-only primogenature, I've read something like that)
LadyK said:It was announced to avoid too much speculation about it, and the royal family's rules of inheritance. As of now, the Spanish Royal Family has male-preference primogenture, meaning if Felipe and Letizia have a son, he will automatically outrank Leonor, no matter whether he is two years or twenty years younger. This is why Felipe, although the youngest child of Juan Carlos and Sofia, is the heir, not his older sister Elena. However, if Felipe and Letizia have no sons, Leonor will become Princess of Asturias and later Queen of Spain.
If the baby was a boy, or if they didn't announce it, then many people, including government officials, would be debating the issue of male-preference inheritance versus gender-equal inheritance. Felipe and Letizia announced it to (A) protect the Spanish monarchy, (B) stem some of the media, and (C): to keep the focus on the joy of the impending birth of their second child, a happy, blessed event.
However, one has to remember- This law is not a new one, nor an uncommon one!

Stefan said:But in Belgium and Norway and also in the Netherlands the law was changed years ago when there have been no Crown Princely Couple who had just married and became parents.
princess leonor said:I think the Spanish constitucion will be changed some day as well. The problem is that the spanish constitucion is rigid, it cannot be changed that easily. And the succession to the thrown is arranged in the constitution, so it's not all that easy. I do believe Zapatero agreed it should be changed, it's discriminatory against women. I just hope they hurry up and don't wait for a boy to be borne!
Stefan said:Yes but why was the law not changed years ago. I know there has to be a vote in the Cortes with 2/3 majority are for the new Law, then elections after the elections again a 2/3 majority in the Cortes and finally a referrendum. There where elections a few months before the Wedding of Felipe and Letizia. If the had put it just before the election then the law could be changed by now.

Vanesa said:I'm very happy knowing that Princess Letizia would have her baby girl before the end of this month...I can't wait to see the little face of the newborn. I wonder if she would be similar to the Borbons or to the Ortiz...Infanta leonor is more Borbon , but her round cheeks are more similar to her mother when she was her age...
