Infanta Cristina has received an unexpected and pleasant surprise this summer. Her son, Pablo Urdangarin, has been officially included in the list of the most desired young princes of the summer season, a ranking compiled by the prestigious magazine Semana.
At just 24 years old, Pablo has established himself as one of the most attractive and charismatic royals of the moment. He has shown that the new generations of royalty are ready to take over with strength.
The list, which has become a summer reference in the world of royalty and social chronicles, highlights those young members of European royal families who, without necessarily being in the front line of succession, attract attention and inspire admiration for their own merits.
Pablo Urdangarin, son of Infanta Cristina, is among the most attractive young royals
Although many of the princes on the list won't be kings, their names are starting to make a strong impression thanks to their lineage and good looks. In addition, they enjoy a relative freedom that allows them to shine without the weight of the crown.
Among all of them, Pablo Urdangarin's name has stood out, a discreet and elegant young man who has already been generating sympathy among the media and the public for several years. He is the son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin, nephew of King Felipe VI and grandson of King Juan Carlos I.
Pablo holds the eighth place in the line of succession to the throne of Spain. However, his calling isn't in the palace halls, but on the handball courts, a sport in which he has followed in his father's footsteps with dedication.
Pablo Urdangarin's heart is taken
His rise in the media began after his parents' separation, when his composure in front of the cameras and his respectful attitude made him the great discovery of the royal family.
To this is added his undeniable physical attractiveness, which has won over thousands on social media and, now, the celebrity press. On a personal level, Pablo keeps a solid relationship with Johanna Zott, a discreet and elegant young woman who is highly regarded by Infanta Cristina, with whom he keeps a close relationship.
Without a doubt, this new recognition is a joy for Infanta Cristina, who sees one of her children become a prominent figure on the European scene. The Semana list confirms it: Pablo Urdangarin hasn't just arrived, but he's here to stay.
