    Videos about Felipe, Letizia, Leonor & Sofía

    It was funny in the last video how people would hold up the receiving line to talk to Letizia.

    Diana at 50

    I don't know if this book has been mentioned - it was reviewed in this morning's edition of the Washington Post newspaper. Scroll down past the article about Princess Mathilde of Belgium. Today's paper

    Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, Current Events Part 54: February - September 2011

    I agree. As a youngest child with 2 older sisters who don't give the impression of being shy, retiring types themselves, he would probably not have a problem with a woman who is likely a type A personality and the oldest of her own family, aka: bossy older sister, which I can personally promise...

    Questions about British Styles and Titles 1: Ending 2022

    I read this article from the actual newspaper while having breakfast the other morning. It was in the Style section which is for show business and entertainment articles. It was definitely supposed to be light-hearted reading. It made *me* laugh, at any rate. I think it did capture the...

    Wedding of William and Catherine: Suggestions and Musings

    There was an article in the Washington Post newspaper about the confusion Americans face when having to understand that marrying a prince doesn't automatically make you a princess and how becoming the duke of something after a marriage isn't a demotion from the job/title of prince even though it...

    Wedding of William and Catherine: Suggestions and Musings

    What does the William & Kate - A Royal Wedding candle from Yankee Candle smell like? I knew they were selling it in England but my sister saw it at a YC store not far from where I live recently.

    Wedding of William and Catherine: Suggestions and Musings

    What would have happened if word got out that Kate had decided not to have the traditional fruitcake wedding cake? Would she have been called subversive and bringing down the monarchy or would she have been considered bold and modern? Would a fruitcake wedding cake require a formal tasting...

    Wedding of William and Catherine: Suggestions and Musings

    The groom's cake still pops up in some American weddings, especially in the south. I think that some people don't bother with them due to price constraints because the main cake is so expensive now that instead of being considered the bride's cake, it now represents the couple. The groom's...

    Infanta Leonor and Infanta Sofía, News and Pictures Part 5: December 2010 - June 2014

    As someone who has worn glasses since childhood, I can say that Sofia will be able to live a full and rich life in spite of being a "4 eyes" and I'm surprised that people are so concerned by this. They make frames for children that are identical to the glasses adults wear these days so I'm...

    From the waist up it, it looks like Letizia dressed Felipe. :flowers:

    Princess Letizia, Current Events Part 15: September 2009 - February 2011

    Nice boots. I wonder how she'd look with darker hair? Maybe a warm brown with a reddish tint to it.

    Daughter for Peter and Autumn: Savannah Phillips - December 30, 2010

    Fergie did slip leaving the hospital after the birth of one of her daughters. If I remember right, she was not carrying the baby at the time and had been walking around to the street side of the car and decided to go over to where some wellwishers were on the other side of the street and she...

    Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, Current Events Part 53: May 2010 - February 2011

    Oh dear. Remember in the old I Love Lucy when the Ricardos and the Mertz's went to Paris and Lucy and Ethel wanted expensive designer gowns and Ricky and Fred tricked them and gave them dresses made out of burlap sacks and feed bags? That's what this dress reminds me of. :eek:

    Twin Prince and Princess for Frederik & Mary: January 8, 2011

    If Mary or Princess Letizia appeared in public in pants that looked like that, no one would have said they were endearing.

    Infanta Leonor and Infanta Sofía, News and Pictures Part 5: December 2010 - June 2014

    I translate the Spanish articles into English using Bing and sometimes the translations strike me as funny. At the bottom of the page for this article, the translated titles for other articles included the following title: Phillip: "I want to be with my daughters for dinner and the bathroom."...

    News from the Spanish Nobility

    I was reading an article about the law which now entitles females to inherit nobility titles and it says that because of this law, Leonor followed by Sofia are now the direct inheritors to the throne and can't be bypassed by their male cousins. I wasn't aware that this had ever been a...

    Prince and Princess of Asturias's Official Visit to Peru: November 22-25, 2010

    Prince Felipe seemed to be finding the whole thing to be very funny. Maybe the staffer thought Leticia was too good-looking to be the wife and thought she was a girlfriend and didn't want her to be walking the red carpet. People make mistakes.

    How old will the little infantas be when they have something considered an official duty or event?

    They seem to enjoy kissing in large stadiums. They must be over their shyness about showing affection in public.:lol:

    Infanta Leonor and Infanta Sofía, News and Pictures Part 4: June 2008 - December 2010

    I used to think Leonor looked like her father but now I'm thinking she's looking more and more like her mother.
