For many years, the nationalists parties have benefited from the huge abstention in regional elections and the absence of a common non nationalist front. This time, however, that may change. They have just gone too far. The non nationalists catalans, that 'silent majority' now everybody invokes...

Rajoy just announced the meassures adopted through the article 155 application: the regional parlament of Catalonia is SUSPENDED and regional elections called for December 21. Good luck to the Catalan government trying to convince the world they are a nation oppressed by a dictatorial state now...

At Foro Dinastias they think Letizia's new ring might be Fabergé, from their Emotion collection. Perhaps a birthday present? https://www.faberge.com/jewellery/rings/emotion-multi-coloured-thin-ring-1346

Recicled from WA and Maxima's wedding ;) http://www.hellomagazine.com/imagenes/royalty/2016020229583/maxima-willem-alexander-netherlands-wedding-anniversary/0-145-19/queen-sofia--a.jpg

Another of my quibbles with the dress is that it must be some sort of crinoline under the skirt and it looks stiff and odd when it moves...:ermm:

The haka moment:

It is! I loved it (and so did the audience :lol:???)

I had not seen it before, but apparently, TVE has a livestream for the ceremony with an English translator - in case anybody wants to follow ;) Here is the link: Premios Princesa de Asturias 2017, en directo - RTVE.es (Just click to the "Ceremonia de entrega (inglés)" link on the right sidebar)

She looks absolutely stunning. Love the ponytail with the dress, and I'm so happy to see those aqua earrings again, it's one of my favourite pairs of her and have been hidden for long. I love how the dress flows, it could be a tad shorter but that's a minor quibble...

I love the colour combination and style of Mary's outfit on October 8. Not really excited for anyone else, but I voted for Rania and the Countess of Wessex's blue dress on October 7.

Letizia's blue florl dress, Mary's red dress and the lovely wintery outfit of CP Mette Marit on September 28 got my vote.

:previous: Can be the original lenght for my version, thanks. Lenght knee and I would look like a granny :whistling::lol::lol:

I would totally buy Sofia's dress if it came in my size :wub:

What is an "ethnic Castiliand and /or ethnic Andalusian"?

Several banks and major bussiness are assessing wther they will move out of Catalonia, others have already anounced they will: https://www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/news/on-euro-weekly-news/spain-news-in-english/145900-catalan-independence-major-banks-and-businesses-move-out-of-barcelona This...

You don't dialogue with those who deliberately break the law, and dialogue with them just because they have broken the law. They have seats at the Spanish Parlament, there are ways to propose a Constitution change that would allow them to vote, or support a transition to a Federal State that...

:previous: The main reason they want to leave if because they don't want to be linked to poorer regions yeah how very democratic and respectable :whistling::rolleyes::rolleyes: Next to that the rest of Spain will vote to be separated from Extremadura which is only a waste of money and no...

A new hint: the Catalan president Carles Puigdemont has just given an interview to BBC News stating his government is bound to make an unilateral declaration of independence "within days". Everything is happening really fast, but if the central government and the royal house knew about that...

Tonight's Spain's king Felipe VI speech in a few bullet points: - Hard attack on "reckless Catalan authorities". - Condems their "irresponsible behaviour and inadmissible disloyalty". - "They have broken the democratic principles of rule of law and ndermined harmony and coexistence in Catalan...

Absolutely. Like if the government had hidden behind him. This is awful. I appreciate the support to non-nationalists catalans that, just like Lula says, are the real losers of this situation. But this is nothing, means nothing (apart from ratifying further and harsher actions by the...

This should be the time to emphasize that such a role could be perfectly played by a monarch.

I think he can only speak as the government tell him to. I also think that what he'll say tonight may condition the future of his reign and the monarchy for better or worse which, given the first fact, is discouraging.

The King to address the nation at 21:00 pm today https://elpais.com/ccaa/2017/10/03/catalunya/1507011899_178320.html?id_externo_rsoc=TW_CM About **** time, I'd say :ermm: :ermm: :sad: Also, things look worse at each hour. I never thought this could go this far, tbh...

The guy says it's Felipe and Letizia, he sure had seen them better. Another Twitter user saw them at the cinema in the area. And they look like them to me, undoubtely. Letizia for sure, and even if the man's face can't be seen he looks Felipe to me, height and all.
