Are there any pictures of Prince Felipe with Prince Nikolaos? I've seen lots of pictures of Prince Nikolaos with his Danish cousins, but why not with his cousins from Spain?

Hi Thissal,

I definitely know that there are pictures of Felipe and Nikolaos together. Try searching photo sites for Martha Louise's 30 birthday, Martha Louise and Ari Behn's wedding and Haakon and Mette-Marit's wedding. The two cousins are quite close actually and often vacation together. Which reminds me, also search for pictures a few years back of Felipe's trip to India (?) with his then-girlfriend Norwegian model Eva Sannum (sp). The couple vacationed with Nikolaos and a group of friends. I recall that there are pictures of the two cousins sitting at an outside patio table, riding camels, and several group shots on some steps.

Hi Thissal!
I deleted my post in fairness to Chanel who wants pics of Filipe in uniform. I will post it under "new" later.

Here is a pic of Filipe at Spanish Army Day in Barcelona.

Ah ha, there they are. Seeing the two of them together is just about too much for me. :P

How come the pictures aren't there ? Doesn't do much for the enthusiasm (of visiting the next topic) .

[Fireweaver]

No need to be rude King Christian. The pictures may show up if you hit refresh, or perhaps the site she linked to changed the links/removed the pictures.
Xica, thank you for the posting, you do a wonderful job here, and I for one enjoy and appreciate your hard work :)

[hrhcp]

Thank you for refreshing the pictures, xicamaluca.

..... imo :) he looks best, when he's wearing a blue beret.

Seems to me, he has fun when in uniform ... little flashes of humour evident here and there.

I notice Felipe has a preference for ties of predominantly a solid colour. I've seen light blue, dark blue and green.

Also, I have noticed he seems to wear a shirt that is similar in colouring to his tie.

Seems almost conservative.
Or is it understated flair ?
It would be nice to learn which it is.

Predominantly blue tie on shirt with light blue stripes.

Felipe the fashion icon. I love it, I love it. It's about time we had some equal opportunity expression of fashion gush here.

The foregoing are all pictures before his engagement.

Will there be a change ?

Now that he's officially engaged, is (the future Princess) Letizia going to have a visible influence on his tie selection ?

[Dennism]

" Now that he's officially engaged, is (the future Princess) Letizia going to have a visible influence on his tie selection ?"

I hope so. Maybe she will convince him to stop wearing ties. That would be great. It is after all the most idiotic of accessories.

[hrhcp]

Ha.

On November 6, the colour of choice for all three men in the family gathering was blue. Must be the rage at the moment. Blue.

I hope she also finds him a new tailor. His suits never seem quite right through the shoulders. I don't know if he has bad posture, bad suits or both.

And burn those red pants!
