In the photos of Letizia it looks like the baby has dropped quite low. It would be something if she has her baby before Mary ( I know not likely).

As I am not a mother perhaps the other ladies who have been pregnant before could give their opinion.

No, there's not a gala; just a reception held at the royal palace.

of today's event, queen sofia was the most good looking one. definetely loved that suit...
it'a a pity we can't see more of letizia's dress under the coat. looks beautiful.

i also loved to see first lady of honduras aguas ocana there. as always, looking stunning.

(offtopic: apparently the prime minister zapatero got shouted in the parade...)

Finally the Princess Letizia has not come to the receipt in the Royal Palace. Too much tired for her be standing up greeting 900 persons.

thanks so much for posting the stills and video of this event.


Living in the US, I would otherwise not be able to see any of this. Long live the WWW (and all the friendly posters who take time to share photos and video clips)!

Perhaps she's been reading the posts of this forum?

If so, I hope she'll tell her sister in law that we'd like her to add some jewelry to her plain business suits.
