2. The awards ceremonies, i.e., any award ceremonies related to the regattas with the presence of royals.

eljueves.es - Revista satÃ*rica de actualidad y humor gráfico. Animaciones, dibujos, música, comics, erotismo y merchandising. Desde 1997 en Internet.

El Jueves' new title - a new version of the infamous cartoon. It's the same wording apart from what is being considered as the first proper work in Felipe's life - winning the regatta (the original was getting Letizia pregnant).

Not trying to get the thread off topic, but does Burberry sponser the Regattas or something? Because I've noticed that for the past years, people sailing in the Regattas, such as the King, or even watching it, like Juan and Pablo or Princess Letizia, wear Burberry shirts with something written on them. Am I the only one who notices this?

This picture is so lovely: http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/...1J2Xo/610x.jpg

I love her dress! The shoes -- though trendy -- aren't really my cup of tea. Wonder how long it's going to be before people speculate that she's pregnant again because of the looseness of the fit?

But the best thing is how much in love Felipe and Letizia still look. I love that they still hold hands out in public.
