I really like this kind of simple style dress on her. Her hair is too short, long hurls or an updo would be perfect. Terra has such low quality pictures, so dark and unclear.

Speaking in Catalan is a very good gesture to the people in Catalonia.

I remember the Princes mentioned that they were learning Catalan when they spent a working week in Catalonia back in the fall of 2004. They went to see a play in Catalan, talked with the cast afterwards, the leading actress said that the Princess pronunced the words in Catalan very accurately. Well, that was Letizia's job, a news presenter, she should be good at the pronunciation of the words.

Great pictures! The events of this week are really interesting; it is a pleasure to see her in contact with such diverse areas of public life. I love the videos as well because it is fantastic seeing her interacting with the people in the events; very warm and kind. And, of course, she looks great, very stylish; understated yet refined.

I have to agree with DonnaK about the simple dress is best for her. This dress was wonderful, she looked fresh and elegant. And to speak in the native tongue is just a bonus! Yeh Letizia!

Like the dress-very Audrey Hepburn-ish! She looks great and the Catalan speech was a very nice touch. It sounds like a really beautiful language but also maybe a bit hard to learn, so I applaud her for making the effort to reach to all segments of the population. Bravo Leti!
