Frist pics from the awards!!!!!!!!!! Letizia look wonderful and happy, the both are allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllhappy ans fane...................
The Prince does not renounce the ideal of utopia to make the world a better place
In the Awards Presentation Ceremony speech, Prince Philip of Asturias expressed his conviction that life is a magnificent gift and a unique opportunity to do good.
"My wife, the Princess of Asturias accompanies me for the first time. We joined hands in matrimony five months ago today - a step we both desired towards building a home, forming a family, and sharing the precious wish to serve Spain wholeheartedly, with loyalty towards our history and commitment towards the future of our society".
"To confront these terrorist threats, we can rely on the firm commitment to fight with the efficacy provided by the tools of democracy and the strength of our convictions, which include the protection and defence of the values, assets and ideals that define us as a free and democratic society".
"We Spaniards have built up in recent decades and with enormous sacrifice, with understanding and generosity, one of the fairest, most prosperous and free societies in the world, and one of the most advanced in the defence of human rights".

I saw all the ceremony and definitively I didn't like Letizia's look, she seemed older.
The best moment of the ceremony was when Prince Felipe named Letizia in his speech; everybody began to applaud during a long time. It was very touching.
A pic from the moment:
Another pic:
Queen Sofia has attended the ceremony too. She was accompanied by her son-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarín.

I saw the end of it but couldn't turn on the sound (I'm at work), but I surely noticed that Letizia seemed somewhat tired, nothing near the glow she had this morning.

Some more pics from the ceremony...
I kinda like the look Letizia is going for (the older, more mature and elegant princess) but shouldn't do it all the time, once in a while is fine.

Some more pics from getty images, I especially love the first pic, where they are holding hands (they are so much in love, I pray that it stays that way forever:))

Cute set of pictures of Felipe and Letizia yesterday morning before the awards, when they met with the same band that played at their wedding.
They won a "gaita", Felipe tried to play it and elicited great laughs from Letizia and, in the end, they cuddled to listen the "Marcha de Mayo", the song that was written for them as a gift at their wedding.
That frame Letizia is holding is a copy of the song they won from the composer.

The purple/lavendar skirt outfit is wonderful. I especially like Letizia's hair with it, but I can't put my finger on why. Perhaps because it looks so natural and not quite so overdone...
