The Royal Family of Spain, Current Events Part 4: July - September 2005

[susan alicia]

perhaps she felt like eating a bit of bread and butter before the meal started or is that really rude? (I always do it )

according to straight protocol, the napkin should be put before the meal starts (just before, not half an hour before) over your legs.

 

[Lady Marmalade]

I like the fact we are so ladylike with our linen placement during a dinner party.

We should start a thread for this.

Susan Alicia...you have a good sense of humor on you. These posts are so amusing.

I am tempted to do the same thing with the bread as well.

 

[iowabelle]

ON the plate, what about all the stains on the linen??,

this is very off topic (hope the moderators will not mind )

but do americans fold the napkin after dinner or leave it in whatever postion as it drops on the table

I would NEVER put the napkin on the plate, not even a paper napkin.

And then I would neatly fold my napkin and place it to the left of my plate. (And I'm American.)

 

[grevinnan]

The american etiquette is to never fold your napkin at the end of the dinner. You place it loosely beside your plate. If you need to excuse yourself from the table during the meal you leave it on your chair until you come back.

When you sit down at the table you unfold the napkin and put it in your lap or if it is a formal occassion the waiter will do this for you. Never leave the napkin on the plate once you are seated as this will be an obstacle to the waiter staff to put food in front of you. You may wait until everyone at your table is seated.

She`s so big, the blue clour really looks good on her.

Face to face, Ill ad the ones that are too big to attach trough Imageshack in this post

 

[lucys]

That color is lovely and she is so big. Princess Letizia said to some reporters the other day that she was due at the end of November/beginning of December. How big do you all think she will get? She looks bigger already than some others due earlier. Funny how every woman carries her pregnancy so differently.

Thanks for the photos.

The Prince Felipe weighed 4.3 Kilos and measured 54 centimeter, so it seems that the baby takes the same way. The Infantas and the cousins of the Prince also have had big babies

Wow, Cristina is stunning! Love her hair! (Perhaps her sister could borrow her hairdresser... )

I totally agree with you Elsa! Cristina looks so beautiful!

With regard to the hairstyle thing, I am afraid that Cristina's hair is completely different from her sister’s. Elena has this type of hair that neither is straight nor curled, but obviously, and as you say in another post, there is (almost) nothing that a lot of money can't do.

 

[LaChicaMadrilena]

Awww... granny is looking at her future grandson (daughter).
Thanks for the pics, Letizia indeed looks great and VERY pregnant.
Love Christina's hairdo!

Borbonmanía

Andreu Buenafuente returned with a new section carried out by a king franker than the one than spoke before the UN, interpreted by Toni Albà. The section is called Borbonmanía and parodia is one of Bricomanía in that the monarch left tarareando Hymn of Irrigation. Buenafuente perpetuates the tradition of the sort: to turn the interview promotional spectacle in which the interviewed person is the telonero of the interviewer. In char the one that maintained with Amenábar, for example, Buenafuente introduced the questions with sound track, but, in spite of his smile, the film director gave so little game as when become you without music.

 

[princess gertrude]

Cristina looks stunning, her hair looks just fantastic and the outfit compliments them both perfectly. WOW!! That's the only word that I know to use!
