Dona Letizia will deliver flag of combat to frigate
The Princess of Asturias will be the godmother of the delivery of the flag of combat to the frigate Alvaro de Bazán, during a ceremony that will take place in the port of Motril (Granada), next Tuesday.
Dona Letizia and her husband, the Prince of Asturias, will preside at the act, in which there will be present the civil local and autonomic authorities, as well as the high controls of the Navy.
One year ago and three months, June 15, 2005, the Princess of Asturias coupled for the first time a delivery of the national flag.
It happened in Logrono, when there received the Spanish flag of her hands the Unit of Rural Action (UAR) of the Police, on the occasion of the anniversary XXV of its creation (1980), and in recognition of their labor against the terror.
In that occasion, and as other feminine members of the Royal Family in these situations, the Princess dressed black suit of jacket of long skirt and Spanish mantilla of the same color, like the protocol gives the orders.
It was also at the time when Dona Letizia delivered her first speech - of duration very similar to those of the Prince - as colitigant of the Inheritor of the Wreath, before more than thousand members of the UAR, in a celebration in the one that yielded itself a moved honoring to the deceaseds, principally to those that there fell victims of the terrorist band.
Dona Letizia, in calm and solemn tone, transmitted to the members of the Unit the letter of congratulation of the King, to which they added she and the Prince of Asturias, for the anniversary, and underlined the work of the UAR, often heroically, for their participation in operations of great risk.
I agree with donnak its the hair which drags her down, it is nicely cut and mantained but it simply does not suit her. The badly cut dress in drab, cold color does not help either, and those particular shoes always reminds me of Minnie Mouse. She looked stunning in the wedding though, the curls made the hair shorter and added volume and the warm color of the dress complemented her skin color.
