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.
 
i love how beautiful letizia looks today.... elena it´s pretty nice.... i don´t like the queen outfit

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...)
