Regards.

Victory already has a girl with the one that will be able to play, the truth is that the poor girl was surrounded always with children.:p

The photos of Irene's baptism are wonderful! This family looks great together.
So thanks everyone for posting :)

Today I saw a short report on TV about the baptism. When Irene got the praise one could see Letizia in the background streches herself to have a clear sight toward

Pics from East News. I hope they aren't repititions...

[Elsa M.]

Oh, these are great... and all different... thank you very much, Pdas! :)

Lula was right... Queen Sofia took photos with her camera, after all

Pdas1201, thank you for the new photos, to seeing if with the days it turns out to be some more, because in all the sites they are equal. At least in these we see the godfathers.

[pdas1201]

You are most welcome, Elsa M. and Lula.

I know what you mean about the various agencies having the same photos. I had to sort through several pics to find out ones I hadn't seen.

I loved the one of Victoria Frederica standing in front of the assembled group of people and Elena walking towards her back into the group, so they can take an official pic of the group.

How it was a more familiar act there were an alone camera and few photographers, these cases they allow to enter to the public means (tve and efe) that then distribute gratis the images. I would like to know how they are going to do it with the baptism of the son of the Princes, it will be a familiar ceremony, but informatively it is going to have great more it demands.

The family photo is a disaster, there was many people and overcoat many children, and they could not be placed very well like.

Other than the immediate family, Infantas Pilar and Infantas Margarita, Simonetta and Infanta Margarita's daughter (I forget her name, but she has blond hair), and Laura Ponte were there other family members there? Namely I am thinking of the Greek royals -- Cristina and her cousin Alexia are very close.

I have also not seen any close ups of Elena and her family or Felipe. I hope we'll get to see more pictures.

I think Alexia is at a point in her pregnancy that they don't want her to fly. Last pictures I saw of her she looked like she was ready to pop!

I have this one with miguel, pablo, juan, irene, inaki and cristina.

Hope you like it!!

The daughter of the Infanta Margarita is called Maria. All the children of the Infantas were with their couples and the major grandsons. Of the Greek family only Irene was, Alexia was another day in Barcelona where she will give to light in a few weeks, I imagine that not this one for very much trip and less with these so high temperatures.
Though they are not members of the family, there were also Kubrat of Bulgaria and his wife Carla Royo-Villanova, Kubrat is the godfather of Pablo Nicolás (I believe)

Thanks for your explanation lula. I can never remember Maria's name for some reason.

The Spanish royals seem to be very close with the Bulgarian royals -- I guess it is given the fact that the wives of the Bulgarian princes are Spanish born (Carla, Miriam, Rosario).

Alexandria, not only their wives are Spanish, the Royal Family of Bulgaria has lived through great part their exile in Spain. The wife of Simeón is Margarita Gómez-Acebo, Spanish woman and relative of the husband of the Infanta Pilar.
