Infanta Elena, the King’s eldest daughter, expressed concern this month by people’s skepticism with public institutions, including the Spanish Crown.
“I am disquieted by the distance people are feeling with institutions,” Her Royal Highness told the Spanish EFE news agency during a rare interview this month to mark her 50th birthday.
Infanta Elena, who is divorced, said she is always willing to represent the King, her father, and Spain at home and abroad.
Infanta Elena said her father taught his children a culture of effort. Her mother, the Queen, taught them tolerance, respect and concern.
The Spanish princess, who manages cultural and social projects for the foundation associated with insurance company MAPFRE SA, would not talk about her brother-in-law’s corruption investigation or talk of her father’s abdication.
She said her own children are more of their generation, focusing on homework and getting ahead.
