I have been looking for photos of the excursion in launch, but I have not found anything. The holidays are bad and the people do not work very much, today in Spain almost no newspaper is not published because yesterday it was a holiday.
I hope that tomorrow we have photos of the mass, and that comes the whole family, included the smallest of the family. Though it is not a custom that they take to the babies, I hope that they take Leonor, because we have not seen her, and besides would be nice to see her on Sunday of Easter with her godfathers.

Haakon y Mette-Marit, felices con kyril y los Urdangarin

I wonder how friendly or how close Mette-Marit and Cristina are? I've never seen them together. Last summer we saw the royal men (Haakon, Kyril and Inaki) hanging out at the beach together with their children. And this Easter we've seen Kyril and Rosario at the beach with Cristina and Inaki on a separate occasion from their time with Haakon and Mette-Marit.

I can't decide if both women would have a lot or a little in common. They are both pretty casual and devoted mothers, and somewhat sporty, so I could see that they might have things in common.

Leonor reappears in Majorca

MARIÁNGEL ALCÁZAR - 16/04/2006 The infanta
The infanta Leonor will add today the fifth public appearance in her five months and a half of life. Finally, after numerous requests of the public and of her familiar environment, the princes of Asturias have agreed to appear with their daughter and they will do it to the exit of the mass of Resurrection that will be informed this morning in the cathedral of Palma.
The girl only has been seen in four occasions. On November 7, on having gone out of the clinic in arms of her mother; on December 6, when there was caught a furtive photo of the Infanta and her parents in a mall of Madrid; on December 27, when the Princes and their daughter led a session of photos in Lanzarote and, finally, the infanta Leonor she could be photographed again on January 14 on the occasion of her baptism. Tomorrow it will be the fifth time and it has cost since the parents have had to be convinced in order that they were yielding and seeing as a pressure what only is the interest of the people who they wants well and wants to verify what face she has the girl and, besides, her to laugh the graces. What all the families do with the babies.
If, since it was foreseen, don Felipe and dona Letizia added last night to the royal vacations, today there will be plenary session in Palm. The Kings, the Princes, the dukes of Lugo and those of Palm, as well as seven royal grandsons, will appear publicly a few minutes in a photo that, with complete certainty, there will lead the girl Leonor. The Princes, following the custom of last two years, have not spent the vacations of Holy Week in Majorca. The year 2004, little weeks before their wedding, donFelipe and dona Letizia went away to the Carib. Last year also they went out of Spain and these days, alone or in company of her daughter, they have displeased up to a city resort of the Red sea, invited by the royal Jordanian family, which yesterday celebrated the wedding ceremony of the prince Hashem, minor brother of the king Abdullah, with the princess Fahda of Saudi Arabia. Precisely, the Kings initiate a visit of State to Jordan on April 24.
But to Majorca it has not lacked princes, since Mette-Marit and Haakon of Norway have chosen the island to take the Sun, the lukewarm spring Sun, invited by their friends Kiryl of Bulgaria and Rosario Nadal. A good mission that the princes of Asturias might recover in Majorca would be to be hosts of their European counterparts, who would be been charmed with of happening a few days of summer in the island. Bows would become closer between the royal families and between the persons called to occupy Europa's thrones in the close generation. But, clear, the first thing would be to convince don Felipe and dona Letizia.
To preach in the desert In her recent trip to Saudi Arabia, the queen Sofía returned to repeat that the menor of her granddaughters grows up marvellously. " she is pretty ", she said to questions of one of the asistentes to the receipt that the Kings offered the Spanish who live in Riyadh. The Queen enjoys her grandsons and has led intimate images with the brothers Marichalar and Urdangarin, but still she could not have presumed of her minor granddaughter. Though dona Sofía strains in explaining the kindness of the daughter of the Princes, one notices that still she would like to be able to show it more in her arms.
....

------------------------------------------

The one who has written this article has been wrong, because last year the Princes didn´t moved of Spain in The Holy Week. They were in Madrid where they photographed them going out of a restaurant, in Alicante visiting the grandparents of Letizia and in Palm where they went with the children to the cinema. In those dates Letizia had just found out of that she was pregnant and her grandfather was dying.
And another thing, the matter of the Queen and Leonor is a bit absurd, is more the desire of the press to see the girl, since the Kings see Leonor every day and I do not believe that they need to presume of her.

The Queen and the Princess covered by the multitude

To go out of buys for the center of Palm can turn into an almost impossible mission, and more if you are of the royalty. This could be verified yesterday, on six o'clock in the afternoon, when the queen dona Sofía and the princess of Asturias, Letizia Ortiz, walked together along Palm. Throughout the whole week we have been, as many citizens, to the Queen realizing buys for the shops of Jaume III. Numerous looks were fixed in all that was happening, a usual image when the Kings veranean or a few days of rest happen in Majorca. But the happened yesterday evening broke all the forecasts.
Everything began when the queen dona Sofía, accompanied of her sister, Irene, and the princess of Asturias, dona Letizia, who certainly had come to the Island to the yesterday midday, together with the prince Felipe and her daughter, decided to go out of buys for Jaume III. One very crowded evening, when the opened shops to be and to be in full holidays of Holy Week. The case is that, as the Queen, the Princess and Irene were walking looking at shop windows, the people were crowding who admirers, which was making raise the interest of other citizens and tourists. But the expectation came to its culminating point when dona Sofía and dona Letizia entered a shop where they were about twenty minute.
And as the buys they can wait, the citizens decided to remain in the door or to call by telephone the friends to tell them what they were attending. There happened moments of euphoria, passion and delivery, which might be called, inside the slang of the Holy Week, the whole procession.
The safety members of the Royal House realized a good work, since the whole world could see and even come out in photographs with cameras or with the mobile telephone to the royalty. To the exit of the shop and seeing the multitude of people who was waiting on both sides of the street, they decided not to continue with the buys and to return to the cars. It was a mission that would have turned out to be almost impossible not to be for the magnificent work of you them escort.

Well no wonder The Princes spend their holidays away from Palma, its a bit hysterical if they can`t even go out for shopping without creating a fuss like this I simply cannot imagine something like this happening in Scandinavia, if the people want the royals to vacation there they should show them a little more respect

Less badly than it did not happen to them to go walk withLeonor, it had turned into a madness. Normally in Palm these things are not in the habit of happening, until they happen. Another day the Queen went to buy had a bit of expextación but nothing more, did it coolly. But of yesterday as the article says it must have been worth seeing, we will wait for the photos.

Letizia's photos looking at the mirror and painting the lips to or looking at something that has in the mouth they are a bit strange. The photographers are tremendous.

thanks for the latest photos, lula...
yeah.. the public & photographers go mad whenever the spanish royals go on outing.
last year, we can still see the pregnant princess letizia walking with her husband casually. i can't imagine if they did similar thing, also with leonor, what will happen?
it won't be casually & free for long...

 

[Ariel]

I think all this attention is mainly because of the princes, people are use to see the infantas with their families and the queen, but this year there is a big expectation, mainly because people want to see Leonor.

 

[carlota]

it's great news that we will be able to see leonor today! it's been a while, she must have grown a lot...
the information about felipe and letizia being in jordan is quite surprising. also, very nice that the jordanian royals invited them. perhaps rania and letizia made good friends?
i really can't wait for pictures from today...

from what i could take out of the article, it said that the dukes of palma and lugo would be present with their children... i would say all the children will be there, it will be more like a family photo

 

[monica]

I thus expect it, but the Dukes of Palm do not consider custom to carry its children when these are so small,we will expect then to the photos

[LaChicaMadrilena]

Great news!!! Can't wait to see the baby! I was worried that the next time I see her it will be her wedding

 

[Princess Robijn]

Great news!!! Can't wait to see the baby! I was worried that the next time I see her it will be her wedding

You make me smile

 

[lula]

Leonor was going in arms of her mother and was taking a light blue or white dress. The children of the Infanta Cristina were going equal all with a green jersey and Irene was going in arms of her mother.
The Prince was very affectionate with her daughter, the poor Leonor had face of fright. There were many people and photographers.
It has seemed to me that the women were going all the very elegant ones with suits of skirt.
And little more, till now only they have put advances and not the complete video.
