Why Letizia is not with Prince Felipe?She could meet CP Victoria!!!
 
I think Letizia is busy with other things in preparation for her own wedding and for her own self to be the future queen of Spain.

I think that if there are other events, Letizia should be present with the Crown Prince just like Mary D so that she would be exposed on what are the things that royals are doing and also she could already experience her future job. ;)

Imagine Scandinavia - Madrid, Spain - Prince Felipe and his fiancee Letizia Ortiz are the latest on cell phone fashion in Spain.

Talk about Felipe and Letizia fever! I think we should start a movement and all carry cell phones with our avatars on them! :p

Look up Felipe, way up! :lol:
 
Praying to the Almighty already ... really .... that Letizia must be quite a handful !!!

This means, that when he kneels for the service next year, there will be the white letters "H" and "E" painted on the underside of his left shoe, and "L" and "P" on the underside of the right ?
 
Or praying that Letizia doesn't have skeletons in her closet and doesn't turn into 'Mabel-gate' a la the Dutch controversy!
 
That too.

Although for the life of me, all I can remember is that its only the British and Dutch Royal Houses that waltz from on scandal to the next.

You forgot the Grimaldis -- they've had their fair share of scandal. I imagine that some of the other royal houses curtail potential scandal before there is barely even a slight breeze. And I think the Dutch royal house has only experienced scandal the past couple of years, with Margarita, Maxima and now Mabel ... hmm ... the root of all Dutch scandals of late begins with the letter 'M' and at the same time, the majority of future crown princesses have names that also start with the letter 'M.' ... Something about this letter?

Correct.

There was also Prince Bernhard and the Lockheed funding scandal wayback when, and although not exactly a scandal but still not the best of news Prince Claus was in and out of treatment for depression.

Back in Queen Juliana's time, as I seem to recall Lockheed was caught out by US authorities engaging in bribes to overseas clients in connection with acquiring work, and one of the last to be caught was Prince Bernhard. It - the investigation - caught a lot of prominent names in Europe.

18 NOVEMBER 2003
Newly-engaged Crown Prince Felipe hosted Europe's most eligible future queen, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, during her visit to Madrid.

The young princess was in the Spanish capital at the weekend to present the first-ever Queen Kristina of Sweden business prize alongside Prince Felipe. The royal pair awarded two global clothing stalwarts – Inditex, parent company of seven chains from Massimo Dutti to Zara, and famed Swedish chain H&M.

But it wasn't just business that was the topic of the day: the Prince of Asturias received warm congratulations on his engagement to TV journalist Letizia Ortiz from both Crown Princess Victoria and hundreds of well-wishers who gathered outside.

And before the prize-giving, Swedish ambassador Lars Grundberg also took a moment to recognise the historic betrothal, asking for a round of applause for Prince Felipe, "who, at last, has found his Princess of Asturias".

Don Felipe afirmó que "han sido veinticinco años de progreso en un marco de libertad y convivencia democrática, que han permitido que España se abra al mundo y registre, al mismo tiempo, grandes avances en materia de cohesión social" y destacó "el sentido de la responsabilidad con el que los representantes empresariales y los sindicatos de trabajadores han desarrollado sus actividades, combinando acertadamente la defensa y promoción de los intereses económicos y sociales que les son propios con el diálogo y el entendimiento". El Príncipe de Asturias había participado en sendos homenajes a la Constitución Española en Tenerife, organizado por los sindicatos, y en Sevilla, con especialistas iberoamericanos en Derecho Constitucional, los pasados 27 de noviembre y 3 de diciembre, respectivamente.

When might Letizia begin accompanying Felipe on his royal engagements? In Spain does one have to actually be married into the royal family first before they can represent the royal family, or as a fiancee will Letizia 'do'? Like in Mary's case, she is Frederik's fiancee and already accompanies him one the occasional duty, but not all of them. Can we expect the same from Letizia in the coming weeks before the wedding?

Felipe has a much full agenda (he has engagements almost every day and sometimes more than one in a day) than Fred (from what i see) so it's normal that people note more the absence of Letizia. As you see there wasn't any kind of event in Felipe's agenda just like the ones that Mary attended with Fred: a state visit, a concert, a movie premiere (i think that were this ones). So, Letizia could not appear :p Now that a new year is coming (and there is a new agenda that will be presented, i belive, in the end of this week to the press inside the palace) and the wedding became near, Letizia and Felipe will appear more. And yes, Letizia will only be able of represent the royal house after the wedding, when she became a member of the royal family ;)

A translated article from spanish sports newspaper Marca

In the occasion of the CENTENARY Of ATHLETICO DE MADRID
Prince Felipe received the t-shirt rojiblanca with the name of Letizia

Prince Felipe received this Wednesday in the occasion of the Centenary of the Athletico de Madrid to directors, players and employees of the club in an act in the Palace of the Zarzuela in which it was flattered with a t-shirt of the equipment with the name of Letizia in the back.

Jesus Gil, maximum shareholder of the club, also gave to the Prince, between the rejoicing of all the assistants, little shoes and a baby hat with the "rojiblancos" colors.

Gil, in words that it pronounced before Don Felipe, gave by fact the affection of the heir of the crown by the club, although it needed that "in the organization we exonerated to him that it cannot pronounce itself" on this subject, since "this House is over everything".

The Prince, on the other hand, thanked for the "honor" that supposes him to be president of the acts of the Centenary and expressed its "congratulation and deep affection to the family "rojiblanca", to that wished to follow" living and vibrating "with the Athletic one of Madrid.

I'm sure he accepts every gift but I'd be wary of accepting gifts from Gil. Hasn't the guy been in jail before for financial irregularites? Bad company.

Gil was never in jail, i belive, and the last time i've something about the subject, he was clean in court of all accusations. I think that they are still some ones in court, in Marbella. People could not like him, but until the veredict, he's inocent and the bigger accion holder of Atlético de Madrid, and was in that condition that he went to Zarzuela, as owner of one of the most prestigious spanish soccer clubs ;)
