[edit] Heir apparent

She would not become heir apparent, since her father could still father a boy after ascending the throne. She would indeed become heir presumptive. She would become heir apparent if her father ascends the throne AND the Constitution is changed (which is likely, I agree, but not a done thing).Hektor 14:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


It is my prediction that she will become heiress apparent and eventually, Queen of Spain, in her own right. Spain, has recently leagalized gay marriage, and does not want to appear "behind the times", since Leonor's cousins in Norway, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and Crown Princess Viktoria of Sweden, will both eventually be Queens in their own rights. Let us not forget, Princess Elisabeth, who will one day be Queen of the Belgians, even though she has two younger brothers. I was hoping Leonor would be named Infanta Isabella Sophia, and reign as Isabella III. But, her parents saw things differently.

  • Do you know if the UK (regarding Prince William's possible future children) will change their succession from eldest-son to eldest-child? Mightberight/wrong 17:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC).
    • As of right now, they are not considering it, to my knowledge. But who knows what the future might hold. If William's first child is a girl, he or his father might push for the change. Monaco also has male preference primogeniture, maybe they will be altering their constitution soon too.Prsgoddess187 00:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I do not forsee the UK or Monaco changing their current primogeniture system, for a variety of reasons. The UK has a nobility (Dukes, Earls, etc.) that co-depend upon the current system. Even the current Queen Elizabeth II feels it is "tradition". Monaco, is strange in that it allows a person born to unwed parents to become legitimate and "dynastic" if the parents marry after the child's birth. However, it will not change to allow equal female succession, I do not think.

If male-preference primogeniture is abolished before Juan-Carlos dies, then Leonor will never be Queen, and her father will never be King. Prince Felipe has two older sisters. Juan Carlos would be succeeded by his eldest daughter, the Infanta Elena.

One problem is that the issue of succession to the throne is one of the parts of the Spanish constitution that can only be changed by abolishing the constitution altogether and starting over again. - Montréalais 23:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Truth is, until & if the Spanish Constitution is amended, (to end male preference succession); This whole discussion is mute. Infact this 'talk page' is for recommendations for the Infanta Leonor of Spain article only, not for speculations on/debate of the Spanish succession. GoodDay 02:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah that's exactly why Spain legalized gay marriage or will change male preference succesion. Not to end discrimination or simply as a matter of equal rights for everyone, but so as to not appear behind the times. The things you read in Wikipedia sometimes, really... :) Cheers Raystorm 16:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Are monarchs of Navarre considered in reckoning regnal numerals? If they are, Leonor will reign as Eleanor II of Spain (if Eleanor of Navarre, daughter of John II of Aragon and Blanche I of Navarre, is considered). Surtsicna (talk) 11:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SMS

I wonder--is Leonor the first royal baby to have their birth announced by the rather un-royal way of SMS Text Messaging? Morhange 03:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

How is texting un-royal?

Only that you would think a royal baby's birth would be announced by a news source or by an announcement of the king. Not that it's un-royal, it just seems strange. Morhange 14:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
(I know, this reply is just over a year late) The death of Pope JPII was announced by txt message. It seems to be the way now for the media to be notified by txt. Easier than ushering them all into a room. Evil Monkey - Hello 23:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Religious belief

How can a 1 year old baby have religious belief of any kind? 89.129.140.161 17:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

She is a baptised Catholic. Morhange 03:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
That does not imply belief. Raystorm 18:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
She was baptised catholic so therefore the religion she is apart of is the catholic religion so she is catholic until the day she wants to change her religion. Once someone is baptised that is there religion no matter what age they are. She is being raised in that religion with there beliefs so therefore her beliefs are the same as the catholic religion. Any Church will tell you that. Lil crazy thing 13:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it's common sense that a 1 year old baby cannot have beliefs of any kind (including religious). The fact that she's a baptized catholic is a different issue. Maybe it should be formulated differently.

[edit] "Expand the article"?

I think this silly template should be removed. What else can you write about a two-year-old child? Surtsicna (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
