[crisiñaki]

It always amaze me how close the Borbon are between each other and their extended families, really nice, one of Cristina's cousins named her husband a godfather for his kid, only in the SRF

At each time I see the Laura Ponte's way of dress of dress, I stay a little bit astobished. It's provocation or bad taste. On any case it's someting "special" understatement. What do you think about Laura Ponte private concellor of Princess of Asturias how to dress. may a good idea, isen'it ?

Laura is a bit on the rebel side (remember her wearing the tiara upside down in her wedding? ), she likes the hippy-style of dress; in my opinion she'll look better in other kind of clothes, with a better fit but she's beautiful nonethless

Yes, you are right. My words were a little bit ironic. Furthermore it's good to have in a Family ( royal or not ) someone who is not always in the right side.

Can anyone tell me what the two Infanta's children do (to make a living)?

I always especially wondered if Simoneta was the Spanish society equivalent of Lady Helen in London -- someone who is well-connected and socially active amongst the artsy and fashion crowd.

Thanks crisinaki for the information. Was Simoneta ever a "muse" for any designer the way Lady Helen was for Armani or Princess Rosario for Valentino? I recall seeing her in some Hola fashion spreads over the years.

Well I don't think so but the Gomez-Acebo (Infanta Pilar's children) siblings have always been very involved in the fashion circle in Spain: Simoneta works for Cartier, Beltran married a Loewe model, and the other ones always are in catwalks and are friends with designers.

Laura's calm wait

The model Laura Ponte she is " relaxed and calm " to the wait of giving to light she still has them less than two months) the one that will be her second son, in this case a girl. The Galician, who has visited Pamplona to inaugurate a clinic of aesthetic medicine, has demonstrated to ABC that nonetheless this pregnancy is different, firstly because already she has passed for this situation and second because logically there is her another son, who already is ten 10 months old and a half.

" They have been two very followed pregnancies.At the moment, my son does not find out that he is going to have a "litle sister", but I suppose that when he sees her it will be done to the idea ". The pregnancy is, in her opinion, something " very feminine and that accompanies very well the woman, since it is supposed that we are to conceive and to have children. The people see you like healthy ".

wow, Luis and the new baby will be so close in age
I don't think their age difference would be more than 11 months!
But anyway congratulations, those kids are bound to be good looking with parents like theirs

Yes, aren't they? But anyway, it must be hard for Laura to look after her little boy while having such a big belly. Luis is surely started walking so I can imagen how exhausted they must be after the whole day Boys tend to be very active, look at Froilan or little Urdangarins But anyway, I'm glad that everything turned out to be good with her pregnancy, as far I know she had c-section like Letizia, so it wasn't very safety to get pregnant just 2-3 months after giving birth to Luis.

laura ponte (getty)

 

[m 12]

Wow, she is very pregnant in this moment

 

[future princess]

Spain's royal family must be the happiest and pressureless of all Royalties. the fact that the King and Queen incorage their children to marry for love and not for the crown is great already, plus there close knit ties to their extended family. what a wonderful family reunion they would have!!!

 

[christinacg]

Laura looks radiant!

I must say that this second pregnancy suits, somehow, much better to Laura Ponte. In her first pregnancy she appeared to be sick mos of the time, and now she has a glow and a serenity in her face that it is very nice to see.

You are totaly right. She looks more confident as a mother. How should be her for the third baby ( I'm not sur they are going to do because they are going to have the konig's choice: a boy and a girl )

Thank you so much, mtbcm!
These photos are wonderful!!!
IMO, Infanta Pilar doesn't seem to be so closed to her children but in private... who knows?
