lula,
Thanks for photos!
Infanta Elena's outfit was all right. A pink jacket and grey pants looked good together. I am slightly taken aback by the amount of jewellery she wore. I wish she wore less pieces.

I find it strange that whenever you see Mr Marichalar with his children (going to/from school), he hardly ever talks to them! They just walk on without any words, they don't discuss with each other? Is this a sort of a policy, not to talk in public places? Maybe after they've entered their car they start chatting?

Elena looks great! I like the red top under the white suite! The shoes seem quite high!

I hope Elena finds someone who can make her happy, she looks so much happier and relaxed since the separation. I watched the video of Jamie picking up his children and too me, he seemed kind of rude. He just walked into the school and almost knocked over the girl who was coming out. He was on the phone adn didn't seem to notice or care.

I can't say that I'm crazy about the plaid pantsuit, but someone as tall and slender as Infanta Elena can carry it off.

I totally agree!

My heart goes out to these two small kids. My parents were divorced when I was young and it can cause such turmoil in your life. When my parents divorced it was so long ago and almost nobody's parents divorced back then.
So, I was different. In Spain, divorce is probably also somewhat unusual and uncommon, so it may be thrusting Elena's kids into an uncomfortable situation. And other kids can be cruel - I just hope that their school situation is OK.
I would bet that Juan and Victoria will grow up to be very close - just as I am with my older brother. My brother watched over me when we visited our father. I sure hope that Jaime is trying as hard as he can to be a good father to these two kids.
I would think that the grandparents would watch over these kids very closely also.

Love the picture of Elena on the skateboard! What fun for her and her children. I have to agree with most of you in saying that she looks like weight has been lifted off of her shoulders and seems much happier since the separation. Jaime to me has always been, aloof acting, like he knows (or thinks) he's important or better than everyone else around him. Just my opinion of course. I suppose that no one really knows why they split. I just hope that the children are adjusting well and are healthy.
