From the sea to El Corte Inglés
Dona Sofía takes advantage of the rest of the Glass of the King to go shopping
The alarms of all the photographers sounded when the Prince announced that he would not take part in the Glass of the King. They were afraid to lose images of the Royal Family, but the summer is offering instántaneas almost to diary: the Queen was yesterday of buys.
The Nautical Club of Palm was dawning yesterday calmly, with the ships tied in the pantalanes and the regatistas being prepared for the snack and the holiday of the evening. The 'Somni' also had the day off after the Queen, the Infanta Cristina and Irene of Greece they were following the ditches from its cover. Dona Sofía,her sister and her daughter changed yesterday the science of navigation into the buys. A stream of official cars was competing during the morning in the center of Palm. The Queen, the Infanta and Irene of Greece they were first in The Body Shop, the shop of cosmetic products placed in the square of the Mercat.
The last stop was in the big stores of El Corte Inglés in Jaime III. The exit took place discreetly for the back door, where there was hoping a photographer of this newspaper that Dona Sofía greeted with the hand in the gesture that she appreciates in the photo. Then, when her car came up to where the graphical reporter was, she did a gesture to him in order that he was approaching the window. The photographer, incredulous, thought that she was asking him to separate. Nevertheless, the Queen, very nice, him remembered that they were going several days going out and that always they had taken photos. Then, from now, she was waiting to continue going shopping in a calm way without 'flashes' of for way.
Educadamente, repeated the same idea a couple of times without stopping smiling, as made clear the photographer to this newspaper.
Dona Sofía is conscious of the commotion that generates her presence there where she goes and tries to pass unnoticed and to satisfy the reporters with a gesture as that of yesterday, removed from the behaviors in these cases.
The photographer, without going out of her amazement, was grateful for the put one and the deference to her with the one that treated him. " The best of my images is for you, Majesty ", he concluded. After this approximation, the official cars left towards the residence of the Kings in Marivent.
Though the summer is not "specially 'fertile" in famous prominent figures, the lenses of the photographers see how the Royal Family is present at several social acts, as well as, at the ditches that are celebrated in the Nautical Club of Palm.
The sports test will not give this year images of the Prince Felipe ready to embark in the CAM or to the cane of the same one, but it has brought others that certify the motive for the one that has decided not to take part: to pass more time with the Princess. The inheritor and Letizia Ortiz were proving to be affectionate following the competition on board of the 'Somni' fused in an embrace. The one who did say that the image of the ditches would suffer?
