Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, Current Events Part 4: Dec. 2004 - February 2005

[Elsa M.]

she's not that short,her husband is too tall

Absolutely! If you put Letizia next to any other person (that does not belong to the Spanish Royal Family ), you see she's not petite at all... but next to a giant of 1,95m... everyone seems to!

 

[kinneret5764]

needs explanation?

Letizia is such an attractive oman; she can do much better than this. She definitely needs a fashion advisor. The cardinal sin in royal circles is to be caught wearing the same outfit on different occasions or wearing the same thing but in different colors.

Some spanish forums are saying that The royal house is going to announce the birth of the heir in the king's aniversary (6th january). We have to wait.

Here we go again.
ANOTHER rumour about Letizia being pregnant.
Or maybe if it is not announced on January 6 it will be announced on Felipe's birthday.
Since their last appearance at the circus Letizia looks the LEAST pregnant of all the other princesses that are rumoured to be pregnant. Even bulky clothing does not make it look like Letizia COULD be pregnant.

I agree completely, but a woman can be pregnant without having a belly.

Well, here what was written in El Semanal Digital:

Los clientes de Baqueira desearían, sin embargo, ver repetida una estampa que se produjo durante el segundo fin de semana del pasado mes de febrero: la de la presencia de Don Felipe de Borbón con su entonces prometida Letizia Ortiz. No parece nada probable que los Príncipes de Asturias acudan estos días al Valle de Arán. Puestos a especular podrían sacarse muchas conclusiones de la presencia o no de Doña Letizia en la nieve sobre los rumores que circulan respecto a su embarazo. ¿O no?

Here is the translation :
Clients of Baquiera desired to see again what happened last year in the second week end of last february : the presence of Don Felipe de Borbon with her then fiancee Letizia Ortiz.
It isn't probable that the Princes of Asturias go these days to the Valle de Aran. People can draw conclusions of the presence of Dona Letizia on the snow with the rumours going on about her pregnancy. Or not?

[Guess Who]

I dont think letizia is one of the most elegnat women, she wears the same stuff again and again in different colors, her style is kind of boring.She is either earing skirt suite or pant suits.She still dress's as if she was still a News presenter.Will admitt once in a while she does wear something nice

 

[Elsa M.]

Tomorrow is a holiday in Spain; it is the Twelfth Day (when the 3 wise men found Jesus born) and it's just this evening they finally open the Christmas presents...

Really? Well, it makes sense, since it was the Three Wise Men that brought gifts to Jesus. Here in Brazil, January 6th is time to take out all the Christmas decorations.

well,you're right,but i think somehow it's very sensible of her,if she weras sth again and again it's because she rather has a visit everyday unlike other princesses that we only see sth of them in 2-3 weeks,she shows real class when it comes to,we've seen this in some occasions like danish royal wedding

Yes, in Portugal, the 6th of January is celebrated just eating "bolo-rei" (a cake of French origin -"la Galette des Rois"- in form of crown, decorated and stuffed with crystallized fruits) and singing the "reisadas" or "janeiras". But in contrast to the countries of Portuguese culture, in Spain and in the countries of Spanish culture, the Twelfth Day is sufficiently commemorated, and it's even the main party of the Christmas period. The party represents the arrival of the Three Wise Men:

- the Arab Baltazar, who took incense, that meant the deity of Jesus;

- the Indian Belchior, who took gold, meaning his royalty;

- the Ethiopian Caspar, who took myrrh, symbolizing the humanity of the just-born Jesus.

In Spain, on the 6th of January there are parades with the three wise men through all over the country, during which they throw bullets and candies for the children. It's also on this day that the children open the presents that, they believe, were left by the Wise Men, during the night.
