Default Easter Vacations 2005

From ABC:

http://www.abc.es/abc/pg050321/actua...emanasanta.asp


Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía arrived today in Mallorca, to spend the celebrations of Easter at the Palace of Marivent, according to what sources from La Casa del Rey have confirmed to Efe. As usual, during Easter, the Kings travel to Mallorca, to take some rest in Marivent, where Don Juan Carlos continues his office functions as Head of State. In the next days, Infantas Elena and Cristina, with their respective husbands and children, should arrive at the Island, according to the same sources. Although not confirmed yet, Prince Felipe and his wife, Doña Letizia Ortiz, could travel to Mallorca and also attend, along with all the Royal Family, the mass that shall be celebrated in the Cathedral of Palm, on Easter Sunday.

This year it’s not predicted that any member of the Royal Family participates in HRH Princess Sofia Sailing Trophy, which is disputed these days at the Palm bay.

Although this is a strictly private visit, Doña Sofía, as usual in every year, should preside over the trophies' ceremony, on Holy Friday.

Default The princes of Asturias add themselves to the vacations of the Royal Family

Don Felipe and Doña Letizia go shopping next to the queen and the Infants If the day before yesterday it were day of beach and lunch in I carry Christ, after the visit to the Caves of the Drach, Thursday in the evening and in the morning they were days of purchases yesterday. Let us go by parts. To mid-morning, more or less when Nadal Rosary and her three daughters were occurring a return by the swap-meet of Saturdays of Fields, they yesterday appeared in Palm the princes of Asturias. The queen and the infants Doña Elena and Doña Cristina approached the center. They parked in the small square of Santa Catherine Thomás and were giving returned and buying something, among other ensaimadas things where always, and soap and colonies in Body Shop. Whereas the five happened animatedly, people to them remained very surprised watching. Many did photos to them, because although the image of the purchases of the Royal Family in Palm is very frequent, all have not had occasion to see them so close. In the evening, the queen, next to the Princes, accompanied to her grandsons the cinema in I carry Pi Center to see the infantile film "Robots". In both strolls that Doña Letizia made yesterday it was difficult to do photos to her, since one she hide behind the other members of the Royal Family.

Today at noon, who approach the Seu will have occasion to see them again. This time with the King and the small ones of palace, since the Spanish Royal Family for years has had by custom to attend the mass in the Cathedral in the day of Passover.

Default Real purchases

Princes de Asturias arrived at the island before the predicted thing; in the morning yesterday they let themselves see by the center of Palm next to queen Sofía and to infants Elena and Cristina. After entering several stores, they continued the stroll in solitaire.

"He is more handsome in person than in television", you can hear yesterday in the morning by the streets of Palm. Some members of the Real House took advantage of the good time to leave stroll near the Plaça of the Mercat. Two new and unexpected companions were united to the components of the Family that already rested in the island, Princes de Asturias.

Queen Sofía, infant Elena, remarkably embarrassed infant Cristina and the inheriting pair caused to sense of expectancy and commotion between the passers-by of downtown. They visited stores in the street de´n Brossa and made a shutdown in Body Shop controlled by the objectives of the cameras of the citizens.

Like citizens of a foot, the streets and the stores with naturalness were mixed by. Whereas the infants and the queen left in car after a brief stroll, Don Felipe de Borbón and its wife, Doña Letizia Ortiz, resumed their march towards Jaime III, already in solitaire.

The Family to the complete one either rests in the island to be present at today, like or is habitual, the traditional mass of Passover de Resurreccio'n that is celebrated in the Cathedral.

Although Princes de Asturias did not arrive until yesterday at Majorca, the Kings and the infants already had enjoyed their stay.

In spite of announcing that they were of vacations and not making official acts, the Royal Family let itself see Good Friday the past taking a walk by the streets of I carry Christ. After an excursion to the famous Caves of the locality. They went to eat to the restaurant Sa Pedra and immediately afterwards they took to the children of infant Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarín to play a near park.

Some pictures (from television so they are a bit blurry) of the Spanish royal family attending church.

Cute how Elena and Cristina's children are co-ordinating or matching each other's clothing! A very spring-green shade on Letizia, too! :)

Pictures from Gettyimages. On the last picture, notice that, one more time, Felipe, Letizia, The King and The Queen use coordinated outfits.

Felipe's tie matches Queen Sofia's outfit, while King JC's tie matches Letizia's. This is the second or third time it has happened and I think it's really cute.

Iñaki's tie also matches Cristina's outfit.

The children looked precious! I love the color of Letizia's jacket. However. I don't like how it is cinched at the waist. It doesn't fit quite right.

You have a very good eye! I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. Elena's outfit also seems to match with those of her children, as well as Cristina's outfit (and Inaki's tie). Too bad Jamie doesn't co-ordinate with the other members of the royal family. Wonder if this was planned?

If you hadn't suggested that with the outfits, I wouldn't have noticed it either. Thanks Anna I think it is a really nice gesture too.
The photos are great. I like to see the little children with their family.
