This mean that they just couldnt make it to go to Luxembourg. Maybe some light health condition or schedule problems in the last moment. Remember they went to the lunch with the philipine president. What is nice is to see how Elena and her husband were there ready to help them. In the past i didnt pay much attention to Elena, but day by day im starting to think that she is really a jewel of the crown.

I agree wiith you, Ariel, Elena is really jewel in the crown, I always liked her very much. The SRF is very gifted with Royal ladies. Both Infantas are absolutely great and Princess Letizia fitted in perfectly, not speaking of Queen Sofia, who is just marvellous.

Yes ive noticed that, what i meant is that if they can go on with their normal agenda tomorrow, means that there is not a major issue that has caused their absense in yesterday dinner. Whatever it was, just affected their plans for yesterday.

[xicamaluca]

Well, was a pity not to see them yesterday, but we'll have plenty more ocasions :) Something happened yes, but let´s hope that wasn't nothing serious and that we will see them tomorrow because that is what realy matters!

You are right about their presence, there is a picture of the guests on the silver wedding thread and the Prince and Princess were there. For the moment the picture is very small, not much to see, but we'll see better ones for sure.

Letizia chats with the journalists during the appetizer

That of yesterday was the second visit of the princess Letizia to the General Academy of the Air. The first occasion was in 2004, when she accompanied her husband on this traditional ceremony of delivery of offices presided normally by some member of the royal house. Last year, he was the king the manager of inspecting to the troops and of presiding at the acts of honoring to the fallen.

Since already it is habitual, the Princess proved to be very near with all the attendees to the ceremony, so much soldiers, relatives and friends of these as journalists.

During the wine that the Army of the Air offered on having concluded the official acts, Letizia greeted the professionals of the mass media who came to cover the visit, being interested for their current situation and chatting friendly with several about them.

Leticia there greeted specially Santiago Sanchez, journalist who was a companion of studies of the princess, and to Belen Pardo, the corresponsal of Cataluya's Newspaper that has published recently the book ' A region in the life of the Prince of Asturias ', that Felipe dedicated her.
