TRH the Princes of Asturias inaugurated today in Valencia the fair of ceramics and bath equipments CEVISAMA, where they showed their interested for the latest tendencies in design and the technologies that are used in the sector.

Don Felipe chatted with the businessmen on the problems of the international competition, while Doña Letizia expressed her preference for the furniture of vengué, a dark wood that has become very fashionable. One of the businessmen explained the journalists, after receiving the visit of the Princes, that Doña Letizia has "a very advanced concept of design", because she showed her preferences by the more modern styles and colours.

During the visit, the Princes also focused their attention on the hidromassage bath-tubes and Doña Letizia joked with her husband, commenting to him that he would not fit in any of them.

Later, the Prince of Asturias signed in the honour roll of the Valencian Fair, when it was shown to him photography taken 1974, where he appears playing with a toy, during a visit he made with the Kings to the fair of the toy.

No wonder...
I love today's outfit, the colour was great and match her perfectly. And I can't wait to see her gown tomorrow on "cena de gala"!

Translation:

TRH arrived to the Valencia Fair at 11:00 AM and visited the stands located in Level 2 and Level 1, as well as the Mall zone, where they had an encounter with businessmen of the sector, at the end of their visit, which lasted two hours and a half.

Throughout the visit, Don Felipe (dressed with a grey suit, blue shirt and orange tie) and Doña Letizia (with suit in malva and mulberry tones with matching shoes) showed their interest for the great porcelain formats and the products that mix different materials, like stone and wood, as well as the modern decoration with barroca. The businessmen commented that the Princes showed a special interest for the vanguard designs, that they both have "a very advanced concept of design" and that Doña Letizia aims the type of bath furniture made in vengué.

On the other hand, they explained that TRH asked the retailers about the international competition and compared the activity of this sector to others, like the wood and textile sectors.

As anecdote, one of the people in charge of the Rocersa company said that Don Felipe "immediately recognized" a picture of Marilyn Monroe in one of the mosaics made with tiles, although Doña Letizia "wasn’t able to see it so clear".

After the visit, the president of Cevisama emphasized the "echo" that the presence of the Princes of Asturias at this inauguration will give to the event. Armando Ibáñez showed that the Prince asked many questions, throughout the visit, "all kind of details". Also, he added that he was "astonished" by the magnitude of the Valencia Fair.

On the other hand, the president of Ascer referred that with the visit of TRH to the Valencia Fair, "an interesting conjunction" was created, since "they represent the institutional future of Spain and the ceramic industry is an industry of future and innovation, with technology that bets the future", reason why this "conjunction of the institutional and industrialist future of Spain is symbolized here, with the presence of the Princes".

The person in charge of the fair added a few more anecdotes from the visit, like the fact that the high number of people who photographed him with telephones called the Prince’s attention and that he and his wife joked about the size of the bathtubs and the adapted ones to the size of Don Felipe.

How did that hunk stay un-married for so long?

Hehe! It's hard to believe, isn't it?
Scientists say that our smell is recognized just by the brain of THAT very person that is destined to be our soul mate… I guess he was waiting that someone recognized his smell... ultimately, everything comes down to a matter of scent…
