Yesterday's visit to Marín was extended several hours because the King wanted to show the Princess the School facilities and the boat where she will train.

Those handshakes by the queen (and to a lesser extend the king) are quite powerful with almost a slapping movement before shaking the other's hand.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia have travelled to Marín today to attend a private dinner to mark the 40th anniversary of the swearing-in of King Felipe's promotion. They have gone to visit Princess Leonor in Marín, and King Juan Carlos, who is sailing in a nearby town, has joined the meeting.

They look great. I love how close and comfortable they are with each other after 20 years of marriage, after navigating some pretty difficult times.

It's also interesting that after the picture of Felipe in the car with Cristina, the press is reporting Juan Carlos visit to Leonor in Marin.

Something is clearly changing in the SRF and how the institutional firewall built against both is finally relaxing.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

The article read as if the Emeritus had invited himself, who knows. In the long term the only thing that makes sense is that the family will at least drop the red tape when dealing with one another, there will be 2 funerals in the coming years that will bring them closer again anyway.

Those handshakes by the queen (and to a lesser extend the king) are quite powerful with almost a slapping movement before shaking the other's hand.

I know a diplomat in Madrid--a man, by no means a tiny person--who has said many times that the Queen's handshake is almost painful, it is very strong.

I know a diplomat in Madrid--a man, by no means a tiny person--who has said many times that the Queen's handshake is almost painful, it is very strong.

I've seen her in videos shaking hands like if she was squeezing toothpaste, and at times I think it depends on whom she's meeting with. If you notice her greeting politicians, she uses the handshake as a way to establish hierarchy. King Felipe, on the other 'hand' is more affable and does the light shake and often touches the person with the other hand at the same time as a sign of familiarity.

Putting that pressure on a handshake is very rude from anyone doing it and I'm very vocal when done to me so the person is aware that pressure is not necessary.

Re family reunion, glad to see them put and about and with Leonor becoming more noticeable. About Juan Carlos, it's always difficult when he is around the family. Don't know if this was posted but he's writing his memoirs and to top it off pictures of his marital indiscretions were exposed in our newspaper El Pais this week. So, this meeting with his son Felipe is on the same week the pictures of Juan Carlos not with Felipe's mother made the news

Yes the pictures with Barbara Rey were posted in the general news thread.

There are different techniques that public people use depending on what they want to achieve, you can shake hands and push people away at the same time.

Barbara Rey and Juan Carlos are so alike they can't understand the consequences of their actions. And n ow she's attacking in court her own child, now an adult, who at age 13 took the pictures of them at her house.

Re Letizia's handshake, in her thread there's a recent video that shows how she greets depending on who's been greeted. She's hosting an event and going person by person shaking with one hand while using the other one to cover the hand of the guest.

I have to say that's very common when we Spaniards want to make the person relax and more familiar. Kind of like a hand hug. But living in the USA since the 80s that Spanish/Latin custom makes Americans/Anglos uneasy, so we do the quick handshake and retreat because this seems to be a culture that lives for establishing personal boundaries even when receiving a simple greeting. I think it's like a corporate mentality

And let's not bring up that Spaniards like to do a BIG smile, then hug and kiss on both cheeks during a greeting!

 

[Alondra]

I think too much speculation is being made of Letizia's handshake. She has a strong one, like many other people do. She's an energetic woman and her handshake reflects who she is.

Frankly, I prefer a strong handshake acknowledging me, than a weak one meaning courtesy only but no effort.
