Infante Of Spain
Infante of Spain (f. Infanta; Spanish: ''Infante de España''; f. ''Infanta'') is a royal title normally granted at birth to sons and daughters of reigning and past Spanish monarchs, and to the sons and daughters of the heir to the Crown. Individuals holding the title of infante also enjoy the style of ''Royal Highness.'' Unlike other European monarchies, in Spain only the heir to the Crown is a prince or princess, holding the title of Prince or Princess of Asturias, together with other traditional titles. By tradition, all other sons and daughters of the Spanish monarch and that of the Prince or Princess of Asturias are called infantes. Among other privileges, the infantes have the right to be buried in the Pantheon of Infantes in El Escorial. The sons and daughters of infantes bear the style of ''The Most Excellent'' (''excelentísimo/a señor/a'') and are considered as grandees of Spain.
