Duchess of Palma de Mallorca among finalists for TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year?

According to a top source, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca Infanta Cristina is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the princess' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 24/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Infanta Cristina for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 59-year-old princess, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Infanta Cristina so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the princess have already been named ‘Spaniard Of The Year’ by some major Spanish newspapers and even ‘Madrid Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Madrid (Infanta Cristina's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the princess was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“#Infanta CristinaPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 23 Dec 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveCristina”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 23 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Infanta Cristina?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Dec 2024

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Infanta Cristina?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
