Until then, the Prince had shared his father's belief that "dynastic legality" must be maintained and that the Borbón line must not be interrupted. Commenting on the likelihood...

The first thing that Adam and Eve did after their rebellion against God was to see themselves naked, and they were ashamed, and they sewed fig leaves and clothed themselves.
