What do you mean? She takes it off. You mean the strap? It hurts the head if you have it on too long?

How come there are no pictures of Elena's husband going to vote? Or didn't he vote? Cristina and her husband both went to vote.

Is there a reason that we see Cristina's children more than Elena's? There are hardly ever pictures of Elena's kids.

Not long ago, the Dukes of Lugo celebrated their X wedding anniversary with a private dinner. The couple has never wanted to answer the different rumours on a supposed separation that have been heard during the last years.

Even before Jaime de Marichalar suffered a cerebral infarct, some people began to spread those same rumours of separation that have been appearing and disappearing, as the river Guadiana.

For a couple of days, the presence of Jaime de Marichalar who attended some acts alone has shot again the alarms of those commentaries. The fact that Marichalar went without Infanta Doña Elena to the mass in memory of the Pope was already explained by a gastric ailment of the Infanta. Marichalar taking a walk with the children or visiting the Fair of April without his wife can have many more explanations than the supposed separation.

Whatever it is said, tomorrow the Infant is expected to attend, next to the president of BBVA, Francisco González, the inauguration of the exhibition "From Rafael to Degàs" in Madrid.
