GREAT videos-they look so happy together and Leonor is simply a living doll. Very sweet to see them in this kind of informal family setting.

So for the record, are Infanta Cristina and Prince Felipe competing at the Copa del Rey?

Prince Felipe--Yes. He was on board practicing with the crew on Sunday, but will be unable to compete in all the races of the regata because of his trip to Columbia for Uribe's inauguration.

Infanta Cristina--maybe as a guest on one boat or another.

Leonor looks so cute in that outfit....And Letizia looks great in that shorts

 

[princess leonor]

Oh wow, I just can;t get enough to look at little Leonor. She's just absolutely adorable. I really hope we'll get to see some more pictures of them and as well of Cristina and her family and if possible also Elena.

 

[LaChicaMadrilena]

Thanks for the pics of Leo and the Urdangarins! They probably want Leo to get used to the sea and sailing (so that she could participate in Olimpic Games like daddy), that's why they expose her so much on the board!

 

[aryo]

thanks for photos.
it seems leonor is ready to jump into the water in second pic.

I love the expression of her face here. They dress her so beautiful! The dress is so cute with this marine pattern...


http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=257315&d=1154355999
Is she starting walking?! Or maybe they are just holding her in this way...

 

[princess leonor]

Thanks for all the wonderful pictures. Actually I think she might have started making her first steps. THe other day it was clear she was standing, and I think she's definitely made her first steps in the gardens of Marivent, with her pround parents and grandparents watching her Esa nina es una monada

 

[mtbcm]

If I were Leonor I would refuse to use dresses before going to sail , besides dad even mum and granny tend to show her tiny intimacies ...

In future don't be surprised to see someone mentioning in some pink yellowish magazine "I've seen the Princess' belly" http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=257322&d=1154356398

I must admit Letizia is a very corageous woman... I don't know if I was so thin and press were always speculating about food-deseases I'd have would dare to wear shorts... 20 points for you, Crown Princess!!!

Regards and welcome back lula and Juanita ,

At eleven o'clock exactly of a morning of stifling heat, they were coming to the Royal Club Naútico of Palm, united in the same car, which the Prince of Asturias was leading.

Before embarking, they greeted the president of the Naútico, Matías Salvá, the brothers Enrique and Mariano Puig, and to the president of the company Camper, Lorenzo Fluxá, sponsors of the Cup of Vela.

When little before the 'CAM', with the Prince of Asturias on board, was passing close to the 'Fortuna'', the Princess took her daughter in arms in order that she was greeting her father.

Don Felipe will not be able to sail every day that lasts the Glass, since the weekend has to travel to Latin America to be present again in Bogota at the capture of possession of the reelected president of Colombia, Alvaro Uribe.
Also in representation of the King, the Prince of Asturias was last week in Lima, in the capture of possession of the new president of the Andean country, Alan García.

Last night, the Kings, the Princes of Asturias and the Infanta Pilar had dinner together in a restaurant of Port Portals, to celebrate that the major sister of don Juan Carlos was expiring yesterday 70 years.
This evening, on having finished the first one of the ditches, with a tour of 10,5 miles, the Kings will come to the Nautical Club of Palm, organizer of the Cup, to inaugurate a photographic exhibition.
