The Prince, twenty years later
MARIÁNGEL ALCÁZAR - 29/01/2006
Today it is an eve day and I rest in the residence of the princes of Asturias. Tomorrow on Monday, the 30th of January, don Felipe will be 38 years and, for the first time, will celebrate it as father. It does 20 he reached the adult age and swore the Constitution in a solemn ceremony, that to 18 years sight waits for his daughter, the infanta Leonor.

But let's return to the topic. Provided that the inhabitants of the palace of the Zarzeula are not of them of using the dates of their life to increase the national episodes, it is difficult until someone explains what it means " the Prince will pass his anniversary privately ". At the moment, on eve, or, today, he will spend it resting, since yesterday Saturday came to Madrid after one week in the one that has been in Bolivia, El Salvador and Honduras. I do not say " don Felipe has returned from an exhausting trip ", not not also " dona Letizia has remained in house, following punctually the work of her husband, while she purifies her maternal fall ". I do not say it because any reader - as one has made me know - interprets that I consider to be exceptional merits the daily acts of don Felipe and, more concretly, those of dona Letizia, and, if it is what is understood, it will be that I do not know myself to explain. The princes of Asturias have an area especially what they realize and it does that the good thing, the bad thing is praised and up to the bland thing. Dona Letizia returns to work this Tuesday and, logically, she has it better than many mothers, for not saying that almost all the hard-working mothers; but there will be necessary to grant to her the benefit of which, though her life is favoured, she does not have the privilege of living through it privately. Because of it, it finishes being understood that, when there is something that to celebrate, the Zarzuela closes its doors.
