Lula, when is the schedule of the parade where the whole royal family will attend? I remember the last time, that was in 2004, when Letizia was still a fiancee of Prince Felipe, she was wearing a white skirt and white jacket? Will the whole family attend this year?

The act is the 16th, and still is not confirmed what members of the Royal Family will represent, but it is probable that it will be like 4 years ago (though in this occasion Marichalar will not be and the Princess will occupy a more important place).

Thank you for your reply with old photos lula, that is very much appreciated.

In 1996, Jaime de Marichalar attended for the first time and it's Iñaki's first in 2000 and Letizia's in 2004. And sadly this year, Jaime will not be there beside Elena..
 
If the foreseen period are fulfilled, on Saturday Zapatero will promise like President of Government before the King, and on Monday the ministers will do it.
