The Royal Family of Spain, Current Events Part 11: September - December 2006

[morhange]

I think it's really sad that anti-monarchists use articles like this to promote their views. If the site chooses to report about Juan's birthday, I guess things like that are bound to pop up, and of course, they have every right to do so, but I just think it's almost pathetic that they seem to think their rants will affect anything.

But that video is SO adorable, especially the part where Victoria runs down the street and Pablo opens his arms and she runs into them and then falls down. Too cute!!

Thanks for the wonderful pictures.Great family!!!

Thanks for the link to the video - I loved the last shot where u see two people walking down the street - they must have been shocked to see the SRF coming towards them! Can´t belive how grown up Irene is now. They are such a nice family the way they pose and persuade the children to do so in such a calm manner - esp as one often sees that the children are really not comfortable with it. Bravo SRF!!!

OMG.Irene is so cute. She is a living doll and I cannot believe she is already walking

Thank you for sharing lula.

Looks like Infanta Elena is enjoying the students song and it was very nice of them to do that before buying their banderita.

I'm with you LaChicaMadrilena on Elena's hair; very very beautiful the straight hair and the hair-do chosen.
