Letizia looks really tall in these pictures or is that just me?

Juan Carlos always looks proud when she's around. Nice to see:)

It's not difficult to look shorter than what you really are, when you're next to a giant like Felipe...

No, I mean she looks tall (big),compared to other photo's I've seen of her. Maybe it's the shoes or the suit, or both I don't know.

Indeed very nice to see something like this Mascha, especially when some gossip mongers said, at the time of the wedding, that, during the balcony scene, JC avoided to stand near Letizia. Bah to them all!

when did letizia use that suit before?
i think it was for giving some prizes in an evening event... could somebody please confirm?

Yes, Carlota, Letizia wore it last November, at the prize giving ceremony of the Francisco Cerecedo Journalistic Awards.

You're right Anna_R!!!:)
The gossip mongers are all wrong! It's so obvious that both Sofia and Juan Carlos are happy that she is their daughter in law, I believe they even see her as a third daughter. Especially in her case that is very important and I think has helped her a lot to adjust to this unfamiliar situation that is being married to a Crown Prince.:) :)

The wedding gowns belonging to the Royal Family will be exhibited at the Palace of Aranjuez, according to an announcement made yesterday by the president of the National Patrimony, Álvaro Fernández-Villaverde, Duke of San Carlos.

The idea is that the wedding gowns of the Queen, the Princess of Asturias and Infantas Elena and Cristina were exhibited, along with the suits worn on that day by the King and Don Felipe, in a great gallery, that will be placed at the Museo de la Vida of the Palace of Aranjuez.

Although the date when these dresses will be incorporated to the museum is not known yet, it's probable that the public will be able to contemplate them before next summer.

This way, it will be possible to admire the dress of satin silver-plated, covered with embroider and tulle that was designed by the Greek couturier Jean Dessés and worn by Doña Sofía on the 14th of May 1962, when she married Don Juan Carlos in Athens.

It will be also exhibited the gown worn by Doña Elena on the 18th of March 1995, when she married Jaime de Marichalar (a design of Petro Valverde in organza of silk, in ivory color and covered with embroiders), as well as the dress that Infant Doña Cristina took on the 4th October 1997, when she married Iñaki Urdangarín (and which was made by Lorenzo Caprile, in Spanish silk and silver embroiders).

To them it will be added the ones worn by the Prince and Princess of Asturias, on the past 22nd of May: the one of Doña Letizia, designed by Manuel Pertegaz, and the one of Don Felipe, made by Cecilio Serna.

Thank you for the picture. I´m counting 7 children. I wonder, who the additonal 2 are (???)

[Guess Who]

Letizia is becoming very boring in sense of style.She wears the same cloths if then in a different color or a change in the jacket or so.Hope she improves. Thankx all for the great pictures that have been posted.

I will have to agree with that. For example, in her last visit to Brasil all her clothes were by the same designer, same cut and nearly all of them previously used with a short time difference. I like princesses repeating outfits, but not with the same complements every time...

They're the children of Rosario Nadal, who're also in Mallorca for Easter.
