On the second day of the new year, January 2, 1884, Carlo received good news: the birth of his third son, Alexander.
Speaking of this, more than four years have passed since Juan Fernando's birth.
During these years, Carlo ensured that Queen Sophie fully recuperated before considering having more children.
At this time, Carlo was not yet 33 years old, and Queen Sophie was not even 29, both still in their prime childbearing years.
Once Queen Sophie surpasses 30, Carlo will cautiously consider having more children. After all, the older the mother, the higher the risks involved in childbirth.
Time flies, and Carlo's eldest son, Prince Juan Fernando, is almost nine years old. Even Princess Sophia and Prince Martin, who were born later, are already seven and four years old, respectively, at their playful and adorable age.
These children have brought more vitality to the vast Madrid Royal Palace, making it much livelier than before.
