Does anyone knows when it starts? 10am?

This is a lovely tradition to follow every year. The outfits are not the main thing. Two lovely little infantas, always charming. The warmth of the queen is always nice to see. About the rest, Letizia looks the best, the queen's blouse is beautiful, but I'd prefer it in somewhere else than at the church.

Look at Sofia holding the hands of her aunt and grandmother.
The girls are lovely, a credit to their parents. However I can't help but feel that they are being used to try and improve the image of their family.
So they couldn't attend at these kind of family events at all? Probably the press would then write quite negative stories about Felipe, Letizia and their girls. Just a few days ago there were complaints in spanish press that Felipe and Letizia don't show their daughters in public as much as the heirs in the other countries.
The girls are cute, no question, but for me its too much in terms of picture perfect girlie-girlie styling, as if they were coming straight out of a model catalogue, like living barbie dolls. Personally I prefer the Irene Urdangarin rather tomboy style.
Of course the girls are now being used for image reasons, all royal families do this (eg take a look at Sweden), and the SRF are pretty desperate this days. The girls are owned by the crown, its ok that Sofia has her hands on them and they have to learn to deal with the dignitaries.
The girls are too young to go against something, they do as they are told, at least for now. Question is, do they want to walk around like a perfect barbie girl when they are getting older, learn to think and find their own personality. Leonor obviously seems be keen to please everybody, a good feature for her as future Queen, but I see some rebel potential in Sofia.
OK, and now I go hiding under my chair
For what my old opinon is worth, I certainly do not like a "tom-boy" dress code for church.
