El Rey dice que el balance de sus 70 años es positivo gracias a los españoles
The King says that the balance of his 70 years is positive thanks to the Spanish
The King thinks that the balance of his 70 years, anniversary that he celebrated yesterday, is ' very good thanks to all the Spanish '.
Don Juan Carlos, in an informal chat with journalists after presiding at the celebration of the Pascua Militar in the Royal palace, has commented that yesterday he passed the day of his birthday in family.
The King has reported that had received the traditional gifts, as a scarf, shoes or a tie, and even a pen that he had liked very much.
He commented, entertained, that the Queen had made him blow of seventy candles and that he had recommended to her that the next time should put only the candles with the number.

I like her jacket, but that skirt is waaay too big.
I really like Letizia's hair, it looks almost like Mary's now. She really needed that haircut in my opinion, overall she looked nice !

Many thanks for the pics & links! I enjoyed watching the parts that were shown on tv.
The Queen looked great although I am not too fond of her dress. Letizia recyled the top from 2005 which I think is fantastic and well worth being repeated but it's a bit odd to do so at the same occasion. However, the jacket looked much nicer with the fitted brown skirt (probably a complete design by Caprile) in 2005; I don't like this new green skirt at all, it's way too big and somehow ill tailored. Looks like she wanted a variation which is fine but instead of calling Caprile she called some cheap manufacturer ... and he ruined it ... too bad.
Getty has some more pics I believe were not yet posted:

This type of skirts, ALWAYS they are of Caprile, it is a style of skirt that he uses habitually, and that for example also he has designed for the Infanta Elena. Never Felipe Varela has designed a skirt like that to the Princess, all his skirts are more straight.

Thanks for the nice pics! 
They all look great! I love the colour of Queen's dress, but I am not fond of her silver coloured pursue.
Letizia looks great! I love the colour of her dress and I find that it suits her very well. IMO, I only don't like the fact that she shows that she is wearing extremely high heel shoes and her body seems to be disproportionate. Her skirt is huge and very long!
Also her new haircut is nice, but IMO doesn't look that great on her. It make her nose look even bigger.
Felipe is gorgeous, as always!
I find that the King doesn't show his age! He looks great!

I love letizia's outfit, the skirt is really beautiful.. Her new haircut looks good but is too short for MY taste..

was it necessary to recycle on this very day the same jacket she use the only time she attended the pascua militar? not to be a moaner, but i don't find it the best option. she has lots of lovely gala gowns, why repeating this one this day? i also noticed she must have taken advice from sofia and brought a pashmina with her as the queen does every year.
nice new haircut though (although makes her look somewhat older) and nice new jewelry.

Thanks for all the good pics. I really like Letizia's jacket and the color of the outfit, but as others said, the skirt is way too big. Her new hair style is nice, and certainly very short.

I'm not a huge fan of Letizia's outfit. The top/coat is fine, but the skirt is awful, IMO. Too big. And I personally think that the color is not the best for her.
The more I look at her hair, the less that I like it. I originally thought it was nice, but now I think that it's much too short for her.

Bravo to letizia!!!!!!
she not only wear the exact jacket she had worn at exact ceremony(after 2 years absence) she cut her hair to save spainards tax payers money as much as she can.it is just too extreme. she could wait until she gets as old as her mother then cut her hair in this way.
hate the cut and hate the fact that she destroy our good memories of her previous gorgous looks by inapropriate recycling.
it's time she learned eventhough you love a style,it doesn't mean it suits you.
god she had wonderful hairstyles before christmas and then this!!!!!

While I don't like Letizia's outfit, the jacket is the only piece that suits her imo, I do think it's great to see the family getting along so well.
There are lots of photos of Letizia and J-C having a laugh together which hopefully will dispel some of the rumours that he doesn't like her!
