But his formality not only afect on his behavior, also to his way of dressing. In spite of his short age, in all that he has occasion, the son of the Dukes of Lugo puts on jacket and tie. His sister, Victoria Federica, also her likes this "look" of elegant and classic children, who in her case notices it with the immense bows that she is in the habit of dress.
This way of dressing does not have anything to see with that there offer their cousins Urdangarín. Three males are in the habit of going always equally dressed, but with more informal, modern and sports garments. The etiquette of serious does not coincide with the character of these children, but their games either, occurrences and pranks have managed to slip by till now before the mass media.
All the Spanish children, four major grandsons of the King began the school it does a couple of weeks. Felipe, since they call him in house and his friends-Froilán, for others - and his sister, Victoria Federica, go to the college San Patricio of Madrid. When they were smaller, two children of the Dukes of Lugo were coming to the child-care Micos, also placed in the colony of The Viso, where the Infanta Dona Elena works as teacher. But for this new stage of their formation their parents have chosen this center based on the Christian formation and the intensive education of the English.
Two old children of the Dukes of Palm, Juan and Pablo, study in the French Lyceum of Barcelona and four-year-old Miguel, comes to the child-care Carles Riba , whereas-year-old Irene, still enjoys of the pacific days in a house that her brothers leave early every morning. Fullly integrated to the life of the Catalan capital, the children of Dona Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarín are the first members of the Spanish Royal Family, in five hundred years, which they speak Catalan.
The Infantas Dona Elenas and Dona Cristina posses the help of babysitters for the care of their children but, though both work, try to pass the major possible time with the children, as well as to take them to the college or to gather them to the exit. Something that also Dona Sofía did when her daughters were small.
Dona Sofía's role
Of the education of the children their parents and keepers deal logically, but also the Queen plays a fundamental role. Nobody as her can find the balance better between the tenderness and the discipline. And it is that Dona Sofía, who passes a lot of time with her grandchildren, does not hesitate to be call them the attention when they behave incorrectly.
For it, the Queen plays with two advantages: the first one, that the children adore her, and the second one, that her presence they inspires a special respect, though indeed the one who they imposes, since it happens to many persons, is their grandfather, the King.
Apart from the summers, in which Palma turns into the place of meeting of the whole Family, grandparents and grandparents support a narrow relation during the whole year. The only ones that live out of Madrid, Dona Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarín, are useful some weekends or bridges to move with their four children to the Palace of The Zarzuela.
Though the Kings distribute their affections between all their grandchildren, now, since it is logical, she is the Infanta Leonor the one that takes to herself most of the caresses and "carantoñas". To her eleven months, the first-born one of the Princes of Asturias already she looks for supports to try to put of foot and soon she will give her first steps. At the moment, which more calls the attention of this girl, who already says "dad" and "mom", is the curiosity with which she observes everything what happens around her.
The Infanta already still has very a few months of being the only daughter, since scarcely she will remove year and a half with her brother or sister. And if there are fulfilled the desires of her father, in a few years it will be the old one of a big family.
