Thanks for all the pictures, the Queen Looked as always very elegant.

I applaud Letizia beeing so faithful to spanish designer but I really think Felipe Varela is running out of ideas, the way he makes her skirts with the addional seam at the bottom is really not the best for Letizia who is not so tall:

I love the pictures from the bookfair, especially the one of where Letizia is looking up to Felipe.
Her pregnancy does seem to be suiting her more nowadays, she's absolutely radiant and glowing.

King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, along with the Prince de Asturias, offered today a reception at the Palace of La Zarzuela, to a representation of the Military Orders of San Fernando and San Hermenegildo. Although it was initially expected that the Princess de Asturias would also attend the act, at the end, she could not accompany her husband and the King and Queen. Before the reception, the Kings, the Prince and their guests attended a mass service, at the chapel of the Palace of La Zarzuela, in celebration of San Fernando.
