Oh, someone is gonna have to explain this too me.
The infant Sofia will be baptized in the gardens at 19:30, as in the namegiving, the whole chubang with godparents, the actual christening?
That's a bit unconventional, no ?
Or will the "party" just be at 19:30?

No misssaga. The actual christening will start at 19:30 in the garden, if the weather is well. IRene was also christened in the garden of Zarzuela palace. It has to be this late, because in the middle of summer and in Madrid it is too hot to have it for example at 15:00. Therefore it will not be until the evening. It will be beautiful though.  The party will probably be after the christening is over. What you have to understand is that 19:30 for us in SPain is very early still.

Okay, I understand. I agree, I think it will be beautiful.
Thanks for explaining, princessleonor

The same for us. But may I ask, when dinner is so late, what time do you go to bed and get up in the morning?

I dont live in spain now but I am from Spain and usually in the summer, the spanish people go to bed very late, typically 12:00 or 1:00 a.m. In the summer it is so hot that it is hard to sleep sometimes, so I think that is why they wait so late to go to bed, so it can cool off. Work usually starts at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning.

La Infanta Sofía será bautizada el domingo en la intimidad familiar
The Infanta Sofía will be baptized on Sunday in the familiar intimacy
The baptism of the second daughter of Princes of Asturias, the Infanta Sofía, will take place next Sunday evening, in the intimacy of the enclosure of the Palace of the Zarzuela, since it is habitual in this type of celebrations.
The small Sofia will bring together the Royal Family, the Family of the King, the Family of the Queen and the family of the Princess of Asturias, as well as to high authorities of the State and of the House of the King in the gardens of the Palace of the Zarzuela to receive the sacrament of the baptism, and they will be her godfathers her grandmother, Paloma Rocasolano, and Konstantin of Bulgaria, prince of Vidin.
The prime minister, Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, will not be able to come to the baptismal ceremony of the eighth one of the grandchildren of the Kings, for being of trip of work in Mexico.
The cardinal archbishop of Madrid, Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, assisted by the military archbishop, Francisco Perez, will spill on the girl the water of the river Jordan sent from Holy Land expressly for the ceremony, which will develop close to the hermitage that exists near the principal entry of the residence of the Kings.

Me too Eliza. What colour do you guys think Leonor's dress will be tommorrow? Any ideas? I'm hoping a cute pink I can't wait to see the cuties, they'll win over everyone as always. We'll probably get to see QS with her own camera again

The video of Paloma is really great, she seems to be a very nice and polite person. I`m glad the princes choose her as Sofia`s godmother.
I`m looking forward to see the whole family so much . I`m sure it will be a very beautiful christening in the gardens. I wonder if Leonor will be a star of the day just like during the presentation of Sofia when she was so incredibly cute.
