That's a lot of pictures to get through! Thanks for all the posting.

Great images. What a happy family and what a charming little baby. And wow, what stunning eyes! She's so alert and curious and expressive. Like in these two from wireimages:

Yes, she is already sooo intelligent!:D It was just cute ans so funny to see her on the video, looking around. I dare say she took it after her mummy-jounalist.;)
 
The girl was very nice. When they were entering to the church, the Princes were greeting the people, and the little Leonor for imitation was raising the arm, evidently she is very small to know greeting, but the gesture was very graceful.;)
 
I watched the videos and I was thinking that this ceremony expemplified what I like about the Spanish Royal Family--they have dignity without pomposity.
 
Infanta Leonor is just too beautiful for words....each time we see her, she grows more beautiful and it's without a doubt that she'll grow to to be a stunning beauty.

I fancy she resemble her dad more than her mom! She does have that borbon look!
 
Leonor is gorgeous! Thanks for the pics everyone!
 
Is Leonor the cutest thing or what? She looks so inquisitive and alert. I feel bad for Felipe, he's going to have a lot of added stress when she's a teenager. :D I love Daddy's girls (speaking as one myself :D) and you know Felipe is completely in love with Leonor (and Letizia too, of course!!!).

Being from the states, I don't have a lot of people to talk to about the Royal families, so thank you for allowing me to be a part of this!!

i saw the event on TVE last night and i'll say, i was just about floored when i saw Infanta Leonor! she's just so cute, charming, calm and serene. what a blessed baby! :) ;) probably anyone would find it hard to resist cuddling her. the Princes are indeed very lucky parents!

I can't believe how much she's changed since her christening I'm in shock she's so beautiful
 
It's all been said before, but thank you for the pictures everyone.
Lenor looked beautiful and her Mummy and daddy looked incredibly proud!
 
Leonor is soooo beautiful and thanks everyone for all the pics
 
thanks for those pics from Diez Minutos, lula! Diez Minutos is always late, and they don't have daily updates, unlike Hola. :eek: at least they make it up with great pics!

What a precious shot once again: http://img126.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc10&image=04639_00170721000019.jpgMay I say like mother, like daughter (it's obvious that the both of them can't take their eyes off of Felipe...)

Not only the girls can't take their eyes from him, but it is amazing how Leonor's look in this picture looks exactly Letizia's look in several occasions... It is courtship/love look definitely!

Wonderful little Leonor! Thanks for all the pics you all posted!I saw a short report at Television and it seemed as if Leonor was a bit surprised and thought to herself: "What are all these many people doing here??!!"

Hi, iceflower:). Even in pictures she seems to be on alert. I think that's why her parents made all the best that she felt they were there, for her, and caressing her... it must be quite a schock, even bigger if you are somehow timid, to leave the nest and have everyone shouting your name, clapping and to get things worse dad decides to rise you in the air in front of all those people ;)...

I haven't seen the videos, yet... but must have been a sweet scene to watch. Oh, yes, lula she is learning. I have the feeling that all appearences of Infanta Leonor will be like this, so our litle Infantita better get used waving :D. When parents are at the altar we can see the lovely expressions on some women, and on monges (which surprised me somehow), in the front row. It's very nice to see!

She is very beautiful...I can not decide who she looks like...In this photo http://www.elmundo.es/albumes/2006/06/07/principes_atocha/index.htmlis for me like Letizia...but in this other one http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=247540&d=1149710545she looks like her cousin Pablo and Felipe mixed...What do you think?

I honestly can't say... in some pics she looks adorably Borbón on others I can see something of Princess Letizia... it was being mentioned in another place that she looked a lot one of Infanta Pilar's sons as a baby - I think Beltran - but then, you're right she has some expressions that make her look like Pablo (who resembles in some pictures Prince Felipe early years)... She seems to have dad's eyes regarding the colour but the shape is not the same as Felipe's in same age... and in some pictures she looks like the King...

One thing is sure she changes very much her features and she will be adorable - una muñequita/a doll !Regards,mtbcm

What do you think?

I think she looks like both of her parents, one min i think she looks like her dad but she has something of her mother too. To me she looks like an angel with her lil lovely Cross!:)
 
Oh, they are all so cute!!!Many thanks to everyone who posted pictures and videos !!

The prayer said for the Presentation is wonderfully emotional...
Little Infanta is an adorable petite poupée (a cute little doll)!!!
 
Yes, thanks heaps everyone for sharing these lovely pics....one of my favourite is in #46 where they were standing on the steps outside the church and Felipe gently pinched his little girls cheek whilst Letizia was looking on adoringly!! Ah, such a beautiful and loving family!
