Translation of the article called : Get up Princess


Polite: Letizia greets Silvia like she would Sofia with a deep curtesy


The Spanish Princess makes a deep curtesy before the Swedish King and Queen. In Spain it is usual to always curtesy to the King and Queen, even if you are the daughter in law and future queen

- In the swedish court protocoll a polite greeting and handshake is enough says the palace press secretary Ann Cristine Järnberg

-The Spanish and Swedish royals has a friendly relationship

- I dont think the spanish Crown Princess curtesys to the King and Queen in private says the spokeswoman (Me: stupid comment as usual from Ann Cristine, If you dont know dont say anything and Letizia is not Crown Princess, you would think she, employed at the court would atleast try to get the title right)

Felipe is a dear friend of Victoria, but yesterday there was not much time to be private, as the scheduel was very tight
....(something about the scheduel yesterday which I want translate)

Felipe told Aftonbladets reporter that he thought Stockholm was a beautiful city, Letizia added that unfortubatly she did not get to see much trough shaded car windows

Thank you for the article. Hm, in the other pictures the curtsy didn´t look that deep. She almosts sits on the floor. And queen Silvia´s expression also seems to say "get up, girl and give me a hug instead"

[Larzen]

I dont understand how she can do it that deep in those heels with out falling on her face

You know, in these group photos, you really notice how skinny Letizia is. Her legs are so much smaller than all the other women. It just looks funny compared to everyone else...

Isn't Aftonbladet a non-credible paper? (just asking...)

[Larzen]

There are more credible papers to say the least and they could very well have mixed the title up. However I still cant understand why the spokesperson would comment on how Letizia greeted Queen Silvia, and wether she thinks or dont think that she does it when they are private, that has nothing to do with the visit and the purpose with the trip.

[agisele]

I actually liked the color of Letizia's coat, though I didn't think that the collar did not suit her body type.
As for the deep curtsy that Letizia did, I like how she took to the customary Spanish way of greeting someone of higher rank than you are, even though she is Crown Princess and one day will be Queen herself.

[Elsa M.]

[Josefine]

its kind of fun to see these old threads

has felipe and legtizia visit other royalties during these years?

[anele14]

on the other royals no

[LadyFinn]

The reason of this visit was the opening of the Cervantes Institute, where also Victoria attended. The king and the royal family offered a lunch to Felipe and Letizia.
When Felipe and Letizia visited Romania, they met also crown princess Margarita and prince Radu.
