Suggest removing the honorific Infante since Felipe is the heir-apparent to the Spanish throne (in direct contradiction to the definition of Infante) Nafisto 03:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Did the Sannum affair last several years? -- Error 01:24, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)

The marriage has been said to be the most significant European marriage of the century.

This I find hard to believe. Can we supply a rationale for this assertion? -- Viajero 08:35, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

Rationale? It sounded like something Hello! or Interviu would say, and I must confess I just deleted it. Anyway, I'm sure it'll pale into insignificance alongside the April 2078 marriage of Pope Jane Paula. –Hajor 13:09, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

Should this be Philip? As in Philip I of Castile, Philip II of Spain, Philip III of Spain, Philip IV of Spain, Philip V of Spain?--Henrygb 19:01, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

We go by the most common name used in English, and I don't think I've ever seen this fellow called Philip. When he becomes King, unless there's a sudden move to call him "King Philip VI," he should probably remain Felipe too (like his father Juan Carlos, not John Charles). - Montréalais
I'd like to add to Montrealais's answer. Since the Spanish Monarchy's latest restoration ,Spanish Royal names have been given in Spanish form in English books (Example: encylopedias), indeed a Anglo inconsistancy. Under this recent trend ,Felipe will likely be called Felipe VI of Spain (when he reigns) by English books ,but the proper Anglo version would be Philip VI. Mightberight/wrong 25 October 2005

Can anyone just edit a page any old wa he wants?

[edit] Military formation

Shouldn't there be some information about his military years? I do know he did spend some time as a cadet in the three armies (air, ground and sea), before going to college. Does anyone have more info on that? I think by now he's a general or something on them three...

There really should be some info about his military training. Raystorm 16:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leonor's birth time

Leonor's birth time is given as 1:46 Am on this site: http://www.astrotheme.fr/en/index.php

Go to the directory and type in "Leonor". Follow the directions, and you will come to her page.

[edit] Felipe vs. Philip

I was just wondering, the first paragraph states If Prince Felipe becomes king as expected, he will be known as King Philip VI of Spain. As we call his father by his spanish name Juan Carlos, wouldn't Felipe be known as King Felipe VI of Spain. Prsgoddess187 16:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

We cannot predict with certainty how he might be styled. It might be preferable to say Felipe VI (Anglicised as Philip VI). Charles 22:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
