Now, my personal favorites--pics of Letizia with children. I absolutely love these pics, she has a true way with children that is adorable. The children just love her and seem to gravitate towards her. I just know she'll be a wonderful mom and can't wait for her to have loads of her own children.

Stand alerted, the content might cause few "ooooohs" and "aaahhhs" and maybe a few tears. It is considered to contain highly adorable matter.

Hazards of being a tall and handsome Prince...

From El País:

The Uruguayan authorities in charge of the reception to the guests that attend the ceremony of tomorrow's presidential taking of possession had to solve a small nonpredicted problem, as they had to alter the bed where the representatives of Spain, the Princes of Asturias, shall rest, due to the stature of the heir to the throne. The Uruguayan television showed the suite of the Radison hotel, where the princes will stay, as well as the necessary modifications done to the bed.
After a long and fruitful visit to Brazil, the princes arrived in Montevideo, to attend an historical event in the life of the country: for the first time since 1830 (when the country reached independence), the taking of possession of a Government presided by a candidate opposed to the traditional parties, Colorado and Blanco, who hence there have alternated in the Power. Tabaré Vázquez, candidate of the Frente Amplio-Encuentro Progresista, a coalition of several parties of center-left, will receive the presidential band from the hands of Jorge Batlle (of the Partido Colorado), defeated in the last elections of October. Another illustrious Spanish, Joan Manuel Serrat, personal friend of president Vázquez, will also be among the guests. But he will sleep in a common bed.
Tonight there will be a Passover, similar to the one which takes place each 31 of December, reason why all the pyrotechnic staff is all sold out.

The princes will stay in one of the special rooms for dignitaries, on the 25th floor of the RadissonHotelVictoriaPlaza. The administration of the hotel informed that the only modification that was done to the royal suite was the bed, due to the 1,97m heigh of the Prince of Asturias, which forced to replace the original bed by another bigger than two meters.

She defenitly loves children.In one article tell that she invited the children to come to here.I translate a part for you guys.

everybody was placed in their site and the smallest they remained behind cords. But Princess de Asturias did a gesture to them so that they approached and to be able to talk with her, which was enough so that many stuck with her to become on photos with the first princess of meat and bone who they know.

Thanks for those great colourpress photos. The more I watch this couple the more I like them--they are so completely lacking in pretension, and yet they both have such a natural elegance of person. Porte, as they say in Spanish. Great trip and they do seem verily glowing with happiness.

Here are some more from Seegerpress.

And thanks to everyone for the nice photos.

I can´t seem to get this video to work. I know I´m supposed to be patient on it but I think I was too patient and that it just doesn´t work. How long does it take to work? Thanks for all of the photos. They look great and they look like they are having a great time.

After clicking on the icon of the camera, it takes about 10 seconds to download, if you have an ADSL connection. Sometimes you may have some problems, if there are too many people accessing to the video.
Perhaps you should try again...

I have a Broadband connection. Only 10 seconds? Hmm. I´ll try again later. Thanks for translating those articles.
