Already in the draft, Don Felipe and Dona Letizia could know first hand the news that in this moment were coming to each of the sections. The situation in Afghanistan and The Lebanon they are questions that worry both and on that they commented with Mauricio Sanchez, editor chief of Internationally, and with Macarena Gutiérrez, envíada specially in Middle East. After the conversation, which also there was emphisized that this one is a small section enriched by young correspondents in which every day is tried to give something different to what other means offer, the Prince aimed that " the challenge is very big, because the international information every time has more calls in the front pages of the newspapers ".

New technologies

Likewise, the Princes proved to be very interested in the new technologies of digital storage of pages, documents and photographies, topic that explained to them the boss of file and documentation, Alejandra Tahoces. To Don Felipe also he was interested in the work that Antonio Cruz had between hands, one of the members of Infografía together with Jose Luis Montero and Teresa Gallardo. The new internal design of the newspaper and the control of the remote centers were some of the topics for those who were interested and that knew, of equal form that they discovered how one is employed at Maquetación. Mesenteries that were revealed by Carlos Catalán, Elena Bressel, Emma Arroyo y Noelia Lázaro.

Though the photographers were dispersed to immortalize the meeting, they wanted to be present while they were coming to their section, between them the chief of the department, Juan Ramon Puyol, and Jose Ramon Plato, Connie García Santos, Cipriano Pastrano and Luis Sevillano. To their step along Continuity, " the engine of the newspaper ", they were waited by the assistant directors Paul Planas and Manuel Abizanda with Jose Luis Semprún, Maria Ruiz, M.R. Iglesias, Ángel Luis de Santos and Ana Abizanda, that they accompanied them towards Native, where they conversed with the assistant director Jesus Maria Zuloaga, the editor chief of the section, Ernesto Villar, Francisco Velasco, person in charge of Courts, and Carmen Morodo, boss of section. They all agreed in that, though the people say to be fed up of politics, the debates are in the street and the gatherings of television and radio are consumed.

Between books

On the valuation of the articles that come to Opinion they chatted with Jose Antonio Álvarez Gundín, as well as of the pages of Point of view, realized also by Juan Luis Carrasco and Enrique Montánchez. A few pages, as the director explained, where publish the images more impactantes of the day rested on a few feet of photo in which, often, it is difficult to synthesize so much information. A task that in its day Dona Letizia realized and that " already even one has forgotten me ", indicated smilingly. Finally, they visited the area of Culture received for the assistant director, Pedro Narvaéz, together with the editor chief, Manuel Calderón, Gem Barns, boss of section, as well as for Juan Carlos Rodríguez, David Carrón, Jesus Rocamora, David Moralejo, Cecilia García and Miguel Ayanz. They all laughed when, after throwing a glimpse to their masculine components, the Prince asked if the beard was a mark of the section.

The topics of the day

Inside the visit, the Princes were not absent to the Council of Draft either. With the prepared topics, both they entered the room together with Jose Alejandro Vara as two more journalists of the house. It was a question of a very special occasion, since it was the first time that two persons foreign to the diary were attending this meeting, in which every day analyzes the current importance, the competition is commented, the critiques are accepted and the topics of interest are discussed to decide its later publication or not.

After the family photo, in which Don Felipe and Dona Letizia posed with all the journalists and workers of the diary, there took place an appetizer, of informal character, served by Windward. During the coctail, Dona Letizia dressed in a suit of jacket in Felipe Varela's orange tones, proved to be very relaxed, nearby and shared confessions with several moms of a newspaper in plenary session " baby boom ". Refresh in hand and while she was enjoying the appetizer, she assured that Dona Leonor " is phenomenal, besides, already she starts climbing. She is very good and sleeps twelve hours of a pull ". Likewise, she recognized that " since I should start speaking about my daughter I do not end. It might be my only topic of conversation ",she joked. She assured that, though she should have a hard day, " every day I wake my daughter up, attempt I give her the breakfast and to come to house with the Prince at the moment of the bath ". As for her facet of journalist, Doña Letizia promised that " I do not throw it of less by no means. Because my daughter is my priority in these moments and I try to pass all the time that I can with her, like any of you with your children. If I have to do some trip that me supposes being several days out of house, in all that I come I am useful to the maximum it to enjoy her. Because it of which more it costs quality that quantity is not true, it is necessary to dedicate the children a lot of time. I want to raise my daughter and have the enormous luck of being able to spend great part of the day with her ".

The Infanta Leonor says "dad".

The Princess also was interested for the children of the redactoras of our newspaper, for their ages, problems and other infantile questions until Don Felipe came, that, on having listened to the conversation, he added between laughs and before going away: " but that you know that the first word that she said was dad! "

Awww, that's so cute! :wub: You can tell that if Letizia ever says no to Leonor, all Leonor has to do is run to daddy! :flowers:
 
Thank you so much for posting and translating this article for us, lula!!! :flowers: It's very interesting to follow their daily activities step by step. And I loved this part about Leonor!:wub:
 
From LaRazon

This one is the photo of group, of the newspaper in paper, I don´t know if the photo will be seen very well because it was very big;)

 
It's a pelasure to read that Letizia is as all mother of the world ! She likes speaking about her little daughter and loves spending time with her !
Felipe is as a lot of "modern" fathers ! Proud his daughter's first word was "dad" and trying to be there for bath ! I really imagine him easy taking care of his daughter..... Normal parents !
What can people critizise about that ? I'm sure some people will find something bad to say ! What a pity !!!
 
Thanks, Lula, for the photos and the translated article. I also love the part on Leonor and her Papa :wub: I hope that we'll see the little cutie again very soon.

It sounds like the Prince and Princess are very involved and hands-on in Leonor's daily activities and rituals. It was very nice to read how the Princess mentioned the importance of parents spending time with their children -- I guess that this is part of the couple's parenting philosophy.

I am sorry to disappoint you ;) . Everything is criticized.:lol:

For any persons, the Princess should not deal so much of the girl, because for it the babysitters are. And even they invent all kinds of rumors saying that she is obsessed by the girl and does not want to leave her with the babysitter :)wacko: though she leaves her whenever she has activities and trips that are enough). Some of them claim that Letizia is an ancient princess that leaves her children with the babysitter always (in order that then say things like that some European Prince has said).

Something that in the Spanish case has very little felt, because the Prince and the Infantas were taken care by their mother, who already Queen was still taking them to the school. The Princes leave the girl with the babysitter when it is necessary, when they have to work, since all the parents do. The babysitter is a support to be careful of the girl not the one who has to to educate her.

If she has babysitter ... why does she change her diapers? Why does she bathe her? Why the ride to the wedding of one of the best friends of her husband?:ROFLMAO: Only I wait that those who do these absurd commentaries, do not have children, because poor children.:wacko:

How someone commented when Leonor was born, now the principal work of the Princess is to be careful and to educate Leonor in order that in the future she is a good Princess ... how the Queen Sofia did with her children.:flowers:

Thank you so much lula.

What a great job you did translating this enormous article for us. Thank you once again, I highly appreciate your effort :flowers:!!!

The Prince remark in the end is hilarious, men react that way to mum's talk about babies, like they were saying "Ok, my wife does all that and feels that way; but I'm the one Leonor loves!" :lol:

The critics and nonsense won't be late but for now I'll keep the love-feeling Letizia shows for her daughter... But how couldn't she - the girl sleeps 12 hours per night ;) lucky parents eheheheheh

Regards,

The press always equal, tomorrow we will see that it happens ;) , because in the web of Royal House only they name the Prince.

infanteleonor said:
either the press tells anything or letizia wants to assist to with it because it has to cancel an act

It seems that first the Royal House said that yes, and later said that not. Now everything is a bit over-excited, up to the last moment nothing is clear. How Letizia's presence is not indispensable, because she accompanies the Prince and the Prince comes, the Royal House does not concern for it, but to the press and to us the observers, they confuse all.

The Princess seems to have the same problems that in the previous pregnancy, she has many nauseas. Now she is in the worst moment of the pregnancy with the nauseas, if she is lucky this will pass; if it happens to her like with Leonor the whole pregnancy will be inconvinient with the samne thing.

Evidently as the official acts they are public and with press, this complicates her assistance to them. It is not the same thing to feel badly in an office and to be able to go to the bath, that to feel badly in the middle of a receipt with many people and the press ahead.
