Prince Felipe emphasized in his speech the importance of the investigation on cancer and trusted that the oncologic specialists shall always count 'on the support and the stimuli necessary to carry out their self-sacrificing and crucial work’.

Doña Letizia, who was dressed in cream colour, with a crossed shirt of flat sleeves, fought against the heat with the help of a fan.

she was so beautiful

 

[lucys]

Once again they both display a beautiful, very understated elegance about them. I know some people prefer "flashiness", but personally I admire their subtlety and refinment.

 

[Rossina]

She looks stressed, doesn't she?

I must say that I really appreciate the nature of the events they tend to go to. They are not always "glamorous" or "photo op" picturesque, but they are crucial to their getting a full and wide knowledge of what really matters for people destined to be King (head of state) and Queen.

Yes, I completely agree, lucys, and as I watch them carry out their agenda, I wonder if JC and S had some of the same opportunities to become knowledgeable about Spain and to carry out engagements when they were that age. That would have been under the Franco dictatorship and I doubt it, yet, Franco said that he would re-instate the monarchy so I imagine it was to his advantage to have JC well prepared. Can anyone comment on this?

If Letizia travels is because her doctor allows it to her, if there was some problem they would not allow it to her.
Before one was very afraid to that the pregnant women were travelling in plane, but today it is considered to be one of the most comfortable and sure means, everything depends on the circumstances of the trip, normally on the duration of the same one. From the seventh month the companies ask the pregnant women for medical certificates if it is a question of very long trips, but in case of more short distances the pregnant women (if they do not have any type of problem in her pregnancies) can travel even the week 36. In this case the trip is of only two hours (more shortly than the trip in train to Seville), and they will travel in the first class, with sufficient space for her. Besides, they will remain in Milan on Thursday and Friday as what she will have distance between the going and the return that they will not be the same day.

The personage created for the literature by Prospero Merimee and that it made Georges Bizet protagonist of his more famous opera, 'Carmen', has inspired this select group of designers, who exhibit their ' works of art ' in the Piccolo Teatro.
