Wonderful colours of the outfit (and great one too) for Letizia today, these golden-ish colours really brings out her own skin tone in a great way. And wonderful pictures, especially some of the "baby pics"! Thanks everyone for posting!

Thanks so much Anna! I agree she looks great. I espcecialy love her hair style.

 

[Larzen]

Her hairstyle is very flatteringand beautiful but the jacket is not IMO, It makes her look square and broad, it must be the pattern playing a trick on the eye because we all know she is not.

The colours of the dayoutfit was nice on her

 

[sadie]

anyone from spain:
is the woman in the pink dress chenoa?
what is she doing there?

leti look very nice by the way

 

[Meredith]

She looks great, although a bit tired (what is, of course, expected). I can hardly wait to see her with a big belly. I bet she'll be a gorgeous pregnant lady and a great mother (as Felipe will be an outstanding father)

Yes, she is Chenoa (Ex from David Bisbal). Chenoa is from Mallorca.

Here is a few of tonight from Getty. My favorite is the first one because of the way she is looking at him.

 

[GrandDuchess]

The jacket is not very nice, like Larzen said - it makes her look square and also it looks like a jacket that an "older" woman would wear. Lovely hairstyle though, and that smile! You can't buy that smile for money, it's really a great smile she has tonight - so a happy evening.

 

[carlota]

nice hairstyle for letizia tonight.
i would love if she used that king of hairdo's even for day events. the new haircut is just terrible in my opinion. don't know why she decided to cut the hair she had before, that looked much nicer than now.

offtopic, replying to sadie: don't know what chenoa is doing there. she has done nothing for the balearic culture apart from being in a reality show and being the centre of the gossip programs and not even because of herself but because of being bisbal's girlfriend (not anymore).

 

[sadie]

thanks agm, i didnt knew she was from mallorca.
still she looked a little bit out of place to me, as carlota said, what exactly has she done for the culture of mallorca?

well i guess that is another forum matter.

A little article about Tuesday from http://www.majorcadailybulletin.es/

Smiles, cheers, royal joy
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]IT was another perfect day for heir to the throne Prince Felipe and and Doña Letizia Ortiz in Majorca yesterday as they continued their official tour of the island, visiting the local parliament in Palma, the Santo Domingo Cloisters in Inca, a potato co-operative in Sa Pobla and then the Hotel Formentor for lunch. Yesterday, afternoon they visited the local university before holding a dinner at the Almudaina Palace in Palma. Everywhere the royal couple went, thousands of people were awaiting their arrival. There were shouts of congratulations, following the announcement that Doña Letizia is pregnant, and Viva los Principes, which simply translated means Hurray for the Princes. The potato co-operative may not been one of the biggest agricultural businesses in Majorca but it is certainly forward looking. The majority of its potatoes are exported to Britain and the Spanish Princes showed plenty of interest in the whole process. At the Hotel Formentor the heir to the throne and Doña Letizia held young business leaders and students. They brought the royal couple up to speed on some of the problems which affect young people in the Balearics at the moment. Continuing with the youth theme, Prince Felipe headed for the local university where he was given a tour of the campus and met student leaders. Doña Letizia returned to Marivent. Probably the image of the day was Doña Letizia meeting local school children. The Mayor of Mayor, Catalina Cirer, certainly provided an appropriate, for the royal couple, a set of baby clothes. Hundreds of journalists and photographers are covering the event from across the globe. The ultimate photograph for them, they say, would be Doña Letizia, shopping for baby's clothes. Today, the royal couple head for Minorca and tomorrow they will be in Ibiza before returning to Palma on Friday for a farewell reception at La Lonja in Palma. The welcome in the Balearics so far, has been exceptionally warm, and there have been no real incidents apart from a small demonstrations by Republicans in the Plaza Cort on Monday. An additional 200 police officers have been drafted to the island to provide security. They include specialists marksmen and explosives experts.

The Prince of Asturias visited today the General Base Asensio of Palma, where he received a a topographic photo of the mount of Bellver and its outskirts, published in 1889, in which is visible Marivent, his residence in Mallorca. Don Felipe, who was dressed in the uniform of Commander of the Ground Forces, found out the facilities of the three Balearic existing armies and herd about the situation lived in the Archipelago. The Heir to the Throne had then breakfast with the military staff, and ate some of the Mallorcan typical pastries, like ensaimada and cremadillos.

The Princes of Asturias arrived this morning at Menorca, shortly after the 12:00 p.m., with more than half an hour of delay, and they went to the Insular Hall in Mahón, where they were waited with enthusiasm by more than five hundred people.

The Princes initiated their acts at 9:00 a.m., at the General Base Asensio de Palma, to hear about the situation of the Armed Forces in the islands. This act was attended only by Don Felipe, although it was already predicted that Doña Letizia would not attend it. Shortly after the 12:00 p.m., they arrived at the Insular Hall of Menorca, where they were received by its president, Joana Barceló, and greeted by the seven mayors of all the municipalities of the island. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia were very kind with all the citizens who were waiting for them, especially with the children. The president presented them with a statue made by the artist Matías Quetglas.
