I always look forward to seeing these vacation pictures every summer and these do not disappoint. They look so happy together, enjoying being together as a family. Beautiful!
It's been fairly obvious that for a number of reasons the family vacations will be slightly different this year.It's unfortunate and I'm surprised that especially Queen Sofia doesn't show more public support for Majorca in this situation. Usually they get the public vibe very well but not this time. The christening might have been planned a long time ago but due to the circumstances Queen Sofia could have cut her stay in Greece short, only focussing on the event on the 6th.
The infantas leaving the island as soon as the Asturias couple arrive, be it because of the media frenzy that is usually surrounding them or for other reasons, is not new but especially after the attack I would have expected more solidarity, in particular from the Queen.
This year the stay seems forced and is more or less reduced to another event on the calendar that requires their presence on the island, it has nothing to do anymore with the unconcern of previous years, and not only because of the events of last week. It seems that all members of the family have their own plans this year and Majorca is only squeezed in because it's too traditional to cancel it. I bet the Asturias couple can't wait to go elsewhere too whilst the King continues his working schedule at Marivent.

Considering that terrorists want people to change their lifestyles, staying in Mallorca would have been giving ETA what they want. The SRF should continue their plans unheeded, if that means travelling to Greece then so be it.
are the 2 infantas wearing the madeira dresses given by the wife of the president of portugal in the photoshot, few minutes ago in white?
because i bought today a portuguese magazine where Maria Cavaco Silva says that she has given 2 little dresses with Madeira stuff that was given later to Letizia.
