Anyway, Happy Birthday Letizia!!ILoveCristina said:Was Letizia's birthday today?? I always thought it was on September 15th...
I don't think they have anything official this week. They threw a reception for the people who worked on their wedding--staff from Zarzuela, National Patrimony and Royal Guard--on Monday or Tuesday, but that was unofficial.carlota said:today (sept 15th) is letizia's birthday...
in the official webpage of the royal house, they don't specify their next engagement. however, they usually have 2 or 3 engagements every week.

We'll see the entire Royal Family this weekend at the wedding of the King's nephew to the model Laura Ponte. A party on Friday and the wedding is on Saturday. I'm expecting a stunning and unforgettable bride--she is after all an international model (she started her career by winning a contest with Elite Model agency in NYC) and her style of dress is bold and unique.
But happy birthday today to Princess Letizia.
My understanding, and someone correct me if I am wrong, the Spanish Royal Family is very low key about birthdays. They rarely make a big deal about them and generally celebrate them quietly with the family. Really, compared to other European Royal Families the Spanish Royal Family is low key about everything. Which is partly why I find them so fascinating, they have been back in power for such a relatively short time that they don't take anything for granted and they really have so much less leeway then other Royal Families. The balancing act they have to play between authority and humility just fascinates me. But I digress from fashion and such...sorry...Anna_R said:I was just wondering why the Royal House's official website didn't mention Letizia's birthday at all....
And one other thing, when do you think that they will change the official family picture???
sorry if I'm asking too much,

I think only milestone birthdays are celebrated with any fanfare, and even then the "fanfare" isn't really all that much. I remember a photo session at Zarzuela Palace to mark the King's 60th birthday and an interview for Felipe's 30th birthday, but nothing for the two Infantas.lucys said:My understanding, and someone correct me if I am wrong, the Spanish Royal Family is very low key about birthdays.
