Marvellous pics lula! We can clearly see how beautiful she looked yesterday. Perfect hairdo.

More from seegerpress, hope they are new

 

[adelaide]

More I'm watching at the numerous shots of the Mostoles 's day more I feel something like jubilation of the both princes to do exercises like they do yesterday: crowd' bath, shakehands, narrow contacts with people, kisses babies, mamies. May be because their so romantic love, it's emanating of them something quiet voluptuous when they are acting in the middle of the crowd. As they interact very well the people return them totaly this feeling.

We can say that my feeling are totaly fantasmatic and that I'm taking my wishes for reality because I' was not here and I didn't heard all the sounds, and I 'm making my opinion only from pics' official agencies but I don't beleive making mistake if I say that the princes are becoming very convincing real couple with a specific aura. I know my words can be find too much eulogistic but it's my deep opinion.

 

[PreDoc]

the princes are becoming very convincing real couple with a specific aura. I know my words can be find too much eulogistic but it's my deep opinion.

Your words are very kind and it shows that you find them inspiring. I agree with you that Letezia is very convincing at anything she puts her mind to, and in my eyes the gorgeous Felipe can do no wrong

the blouse seems to be used by the second time. I think i saw that blouse in a foreign trip.

 

[adelaide]

Yes , exactly it's the third time. First in Hungaria in september 2005, then in USA in october 2005 but for the previous one the outfit was with a littl black belt that the Princess didn't wear yesterday.

On the other hand, yesterday night Letizia was wearind jewells that I think we don't know. But as the pic is not very clear for that, we have to wait a little to see if it's new ones.

 

[lula]

I think that we will not have many photos of the yesterday act. The act was in Barcelona. Yesterday the Barcelona arrived to the city with the Cup and they were crossing the whole city and did a great party in the night in the Camp Nou, so I do not believe that there was many press forthwith of the Princes.

What movie did the princes of Asturias go to see? The last one of action trepidante: " Impossible Mission III ", with Tom Cruise like principal protagonist. It seems that both enjoyed.
Someone of the presents related the title of the tape to the personal conjuncture that fELIPE de Borbón will have to confront. Not without certain intention, it commented: the the first " impossible mission " corresponded to his grandfather, don Juan de Borbón; the second one, to his father, the King don Juan Carlos; the third " impossible mission " he touches him.
