Crisiñaki means "miscarriage". As lula said, the same word in Spanish is used to refer both, so that's why she picked up that word.

Thanks Elsa. And sorry to Crisiñaki I didn't know about that.

No problem, we were just lost in translation

Just thought I would like to mention this, I just watched the GlobeTrekker/Pilot Guides (a travel show) episode of Northern Spain. I swear that during the Santiago festivle on July 25 that I saw her walking in the procession and standing on the special royal seat in the catherdral. Im pretty sure it was her though. It was a suprise for me to see her and I thought it was cool.

 

[crisiñaki]

If you don't mind me asking why were you surprised?
The SRF has a tradition of going to the religious festivals and celebrations through Spain, at least one of them always go.
There are a lot of pictures, videos of the SRF in church, they even go to mass when abroad

The Apostle Santiago is the protector of Spain, there is a historical tradition for which the day of Santiago, July 25, the King does a national offering to the saint. But the King does not go every year, but he delegates in other members of the Royal Family or the mayor of the city.
Last year the manager was the Chief of the House of His Majesty, Alberto Aza.

I know, I just didnt expect for there to be a royal on the program. They didnt pay attention to her or mention her but when I saw her on the show I thought it was pretty cool. I wasnt suprised at her attending the service I was suprised on seeing her on the show. Maybe I thought it was cool because I was the only person who knew she was out of the people watching the show with me.

I don't think Infanta Elena is a beautiful woman. I think she is a very nice and warm person that makes her beautiful... And her fashion sense has been growing and I think she knows what suits her best on each occasion... She has been missing the hair posts, although ... I don't like the way her hair looks in the line near her face.. isn't there an hairdresser method to make the hair in that area to look more straight?!

Infanta Cristina has better hair-genes .

I agree with you, Elena may not have a beautiful face but has a very nice body and a charming personality, to be honest Cristina is the pretty one but both sisters have "it", something that makes them stand out in a crowd, they say that all Borbon are like that, extremely charming

I agree, the sisters and the SRF in general have that charisma that draws their people.

 

[crisiñaki]

I agree, the sisters and the SRF in general have that charisma that draws their people.

But I think that the sisters are more charming than Felipe, people tend to gravitate to them more,maybe because they can relate better to people because of them being mothers, maybe because he's more serious, it doesn't mean he isn't popular (far from it) but now with Letizia by his side, he became more close and approachable

 

[camila]

I think froilan is cjanged a lot and he is become a quiet boy
