Felipes nephews and niece seem to have really taken to their aunt Letizia, particularly Cristina's three sons. She is really showing her motherly instincts with the young children.

Today the regatta was back on (suspended yesterday due to a storm) and Prince Felipe is second overall, the King third, the Infanta seventh and King of Norway fourteenth (there are about 35 boats in their class).

They all look like they've having a great old time! Good to see them enjoying their vacation-I've never been to Mallorca but I've heard it's beautiful.

Where is Elena during these regattas? Does she not enjoy sailing as much as the rest of the family? It seems that Elena and her family arrived in Majorca with the King and Queen at the beginning of the holidays and have not been seen since.

The Infanta Elena, her husband and children are no longer in Mallorca--I think they are in the Hamptons--surprise, surprise, it's where Jaime likes to summer since he's such a big snob.

Thank you for the info Lucys.

I wonder how Elena and Jaime are accepted in the Hamptons? How many people might recognize them as the eldest daughter and son-in-law of the King of Spain? I imagine that part of the cache for Jaime would be the recognition by the others and the awe or special attention he'd receive.

Ironic how it seems that some royals like Martha Louise and Ari go to other cities (NYC) to flee the spotlight and special privilges while Jaime goes elsewhere to thrive in it.

King Harald is doing better this time, not at one of the last spots.

Well, Jaime used to receive medical treatment in New York for his stroke. He might go back to check with the Doctors again, at the same time vacationing in New York.

I don't think he's being seen by Doctor's in NYC any longer, but you could be right and I could most certainly be wrong. Don't get me wrong, I find Jaime de Marichalar's unabashed foppery peculiarly endearing. Who else can get away with his combination of shirts and ties and poorly buttened suits and colorful fans? And all from the very best shops in Paris? I'm forced to find the man charming--he's something out of an old novel.

And you know, every one in Spain gives him full and total credit for the change in the Infanta Elena from one of the worst dressed women in Spain before she married him to one of the best dressed.

Did they go to the Hamptons last year? I believe they were there in 2001, and 2002..but I don't remember anything about last year.

Some nice photos today of the current Kings and the future Kings arriving at the Marina. I think Letizia--in a very simple outfit, casual and perfect for a day at the Marina--looks particularly lovely. She has quite a figure.

Current and futures.

The New York Hamptons? Hasn't been any local news about them, nor would most people care, I think.
