That is a beautiful outfit that Queen Sofia is wearing. She always dresses very elegantly.

Great photos, Tina!

I noticed from these latest pictures of Cristina's sons that Juanito and Miguel, the oldest and youngest brothers look a bit alike. I think both these brothers have a faint resemblance to their father. Whereas Pablo, the middle brother looks a bit more like King Juan Carlos as a boy.

I love the American-flag inspired shorts on Froilan! Obviously he's come back with a touch of New York to him!

Does anyone know what happened to Elena's wrist... it looks like she has some sort of brace on it.


On a lighter note, it's so good to see a large portion of the family on vacation and having a good time, it really looked like the children are enjoying themselves.

It looks like Elena and Jaimie are in eachothers company again, for some time there was word of a mistress to the Duke of Lugo! I am glad that they are either back together or hope that they were never in any trouble relationship wise!!

I love that little girl! Victoria Frederika is so darn CUTE and so ADORABLE!!

Tres de los miembros más jóvenes de la familia real disfrutaron de una divertida jornada junto a las especies protegidas de la isla de La Cabrera, acompañados de la Reina, la infanta Elena y Jaime de Marichalar. Froilán, Juan y Victoria se dieron además un baño. Llama la atención el bañador del nieto mayor, confeccionado con la bandera de EEUU. (EFE)

Love the pigtails on little Victoria! They make her 10 times more adorable and precious!

Are King Constantine and Queen Sofia that close to their other sister? It seems like these two get together fairly often, and that their children (the Infantas and the Princes/Princesses of Greece adore each other).

 

[xicamaluca]

About King Constantine, i don't know, but Queen Sofia is very close to Princess Irene she was in that dinner from the pics

Yeah! the spanish princes and greek ones are very close

 

[Fireweaver]

I didn't notice that, thanks xicamaluca!

Queen Sofia and Princess Irene are very close to each other. Princess Irene lives either all the time or most of the time in Spain. She often attends events with the Queen, espescially art ones, since Princess Irene is a concert pianist herself.

I once read that Queen Sofia finds it difficult to trust people (with her confidences because of fear of invasions of privacy) and so she confides in her sister a lot and they are very close, like siblings and best friends.

And of course the Queen and King Constantine are very close.

 

[moosey60]

Do they speak Greek or Spanish together? Or do they get by with making hand gestures? B)

 

[rattie21]

I would assume both depends on where they are and what they are doing. I do know that Sofia has taught the two Infantas and the Crown Prince Greek.

 

[xicamaluca]

It's known that Queen Sofia talk with Felipe and the infantas in english

So, problaby, and because the greek RF lives in London, they speak english

Will Cristina and her young family be joining her parents and sister on holiday soon? (I recently saw pictures of Cristina with Sofia and Maria Teresa and she looked very thin -- is she okay health wise?)

And perhaps Felipe and Letizia will join his family in Majorca after Mexico? They very much deserve some R & R after their whirlwind of royal duties!

Last summer I believe the King and Queen of Greece, Prince Pavlos and his family and Princess Irene joined the Spanish royals in Majorca, too. Will this be happening this year?

 

[lasu]

I see Jaime is wearing another fine outfit...

 

[xicamaluca]

About Cristina, it's known that she was making diet, but i belive that is enough, she's staying too thin And, her family is already in Maiorca

Felipe and Letizia will also be in Maiorca.

About the greekes, i don't know
