Many thanks too, Lula. This article and the pics are very interesting more even that we can think in a first time.

When you are intersting by someone who is not link with your own country preoccupation, sometimes it's difficult to have a true idea of this personality because you have a lot of thing to know.

The Prince of Asturias, after to have been a young heiris becoming a serious crown prince with a defintion of his job create by himself. I want to say that as the work of the Prince has no constitutional definition, only the way how he is doing the duties gave by the Royal House could create the field of his activities.

At the begining of my interest for the Prince of Asturias, I was reading a lot that Spain was Juancarlista and not Filipista. More some of the chronichors said that the son would be never at the same level than the father.

Some years after, to be precise quiet four years after his wedding, we can read that Felipe is becoming a true figure of the economical, social and cultural world of Spain. More, we can read too that he has succeed to reach the confidence of the a great part of the buysness men by his own qualities today visible.

It's very intersresting because during a long time Felipe was described as an heir very well prepared but today He is descibed as a Crown Prince yes very well prepared but also with his own qualities.

It's because of that this kind of article is very interesting because we can see the Prince of Asturias as a young entrepreneur among young entrepreneurs who are ready for the future of Spain.

I'm just finished to read again this article, more interesting the conveniant word is very analytic because the image of the Prince is rising at a legitime place among his other forties yet leaders or near to be leaders. This article is interesting too because the words used are those of the reality of the ecomic, social and cultural world in which the Prince is an actor with his role excatly as a busynessman or a writer, a surgeon and so on. In a democratic society were all the qualities are useful, this article is discribing the intersting qualities of a Crown Prince in a monarquia constitutional modern. For that the article is excelent because is not an eulogy of the Prince,it is the description of the way how are the forties among them the Prince of Asturias has a place for the futur of Spain.

That it will be interesting is to see how the serious press will be reacting because I don't beleive that the tabloids will speak about this issue.

Iberoamerica .- Prince Felipe visit tomorrow the Ibero-American General Secretariat

Prince Felipe will visit tomorrow the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), where he will have meetings with his head, Enrique Iglesias, to review, among other issues the last Ibero-American Summit, as reported yesterday Zarzuela in a statement.

The visit of Don Felipe to SEGIB was scheduled long and is based on the activity of institutional relations with Latin America thereof, as indicated to lose custody of the SEGIB.

The Prince of Asturias and Iglesias maintain a "working meeting" during which, among other things, reviewed the "achievements" of the last summit, as well as the organization of events to celebrate the bicentenarios independence of the Latin American countries, according to these sources.

Paty, thanks for the pics. The Prince looks very at ease.
Do you know if some newspapers had given some articles about this event.

Yes, it's not for itself the event of the century but as it concerns the generation of the Prince, may be we could have some comment about this act, the people who had been there and the different interventions.

Whatever, thanks a lot for sharing all that you have

Paty, do you think that we could have some pics of Felipe piloting the plane?

We know that he is helicopter flying by night graduate in the Spanish Army, I has seen some pics of him piloting plane reactors when he was student in Air Military School, but I think that he didn't piloted a army plane since a while.

Felipe looks great in this jacket. Imagine him with fancy sunglasses and he could have starred in Top Gun (although he's probably too tall to fit into a jet fighter)

Very often the military uniform of the Air Army is the less impressive and beautiful than the other ones i.e. The Army and the Naval Army, particularly for the ceremony uniform. For me it's the case too in France. I think that the explanation is very simple, it's because this part of the Army dosen't have past with astonishing uniform as a model or as an inheritance.

But whatever the uniform in general fits very well to the prince of Asturias. Miam miam!!
