'Royals' Ingrid of Norway, heir to Haakon and Mette-Marit, turns 18: environmentalist, surfer and piercing princess
The docuseries
Los Borbones, una familia real
, broadcast by Atresmedia, takes a critical look at the Royal Family, especially devastating against Juan Carlos I, although not even Queen Sofía, always highly valued in the polls, comes out of the story with flying colors.
It is, without a doubt, Letizia of whom a better image is transmitted, almost as the savior of the institution.
However, the authors omit data and episodes of the Queen, such as those that appear in
Adiós Princesa
, the book by her cousin David Rocasolano, which, if true, contradict the virtues required of a king's wife.
The chapter on the Queen, on the other hand, mentions the disagreement between Letizia and Doña Sofía in the cathedral of Palma as "a blur" in the positive trajectory of the royal consort.
Neither is the slightest allusion made to the whatsapp casually discovered in a judicial investigation in which the Queen addresses her friend the buddy
yogi
Javier López-Madrid, charged in various cases of corruption and in cahoots with former commissioner Villarejo in the attack on the Dr. Elisa Pinto, to encourage him for a report in EL MUNDO, in which his judicial adventures were recounted.

Ingrid of Norway, the future queen of the most beloved monarchy
The following chapter, dedicated to Leonor, leaves in the air the question of
whether the Princess of Asturias will one day become Queen of Spain
.
A theme that coincides with some recent events that have Leonor fully topical.
The absence of the heiress at the gala of Ingrid of Norway's coming of age, an institutional event that brought together
monarchies from all over Europe and the princesses who will one day be queens
in Oslo , but where
the Spanish heiress was missing
, had comments very negative in the media of our country and even the magazine
Hello!
, always so respectful of the Crown, titled on its cover:
"Surprising absence of Princess Leonor", along with a photo of the future queens in attendance.
Various commentators and a survey by
El Confidencial
agree in drawing attention to the
very scarce public presence of the Princess of Asturias
and her lack of contact with people, which distances her significantly from the young generations who will one day be her citizens, every day more indifferent or far from the monarchy, according to the data of said survey.
The crown princesses attended Ingrid Alexandra's birthday.

While Doña Sofía at the time participated in events as popular and traditional as the Seville Fair, or Raphael's Christmas performances.
Or when it has been normal to see someone from the Royal Family in the fallas of Valencia for a long time, because they are uses and customs of a diverse and plural Spain whose cohesion is the Monarchy, it turns out that
the daughters of the Kings
disappear
for months of life social,
their vacations are secret and one day they went shopping with their mother in Madrid they did so with caps and practically hooded, although a
paparazzi
managed to photograph them in the center of Madrid.
There is unanimity that the Royal Family is a symbol of tradition in the Spain of the autonomies (and problematic in the case of Catalonia), which
they can not only exercise from Monday to Friday
, as if they were civil servants.
Proximity and closeness
are lacking and taking into account that the most democratic and advanced countries in Europe have kings or queens who are very close and valued by their citizens.
Princess Ingrid of Norway's speech at her birthday banquet touched the guests with her naturalness and friendliness.
The young princess
thanked her grandfather, King Harald, for the evenings they had spent together watching cowboy movies
.
To her mother, following the series Sex in New York together from the sofa.
Ingrid Alexandra said that she was proud to live in a free country that cares about the environment, thus reflecting the thoughts that young Norwegians her age undoubtedly have.
Gestures such as those of William of England selling newspapers on the street in favor of the homeless during the jubilee of Elizabeth II;
his wife
From him Kate Middleton playing football with some schoolchildren
and Queen
Máxima of the Netherlands jumping out of a helicopter
for a good cause, or swimming across a canal at a charity event, make people feel close to royalty.

Queen Letizia
has gone to the opera with her hairdresser and friend Luz Valero

Princess Leonor has already been in Spain for a week
after finishing the school year in Wales and we still haven't seen a single photo of her,
nor do we know how her notes
