The picture in the article is from the reading the constitution event, not from a cinema visit.

The Black Friday shots in HOLA are most likely arranged/tipped off for image reasons, so the photographers can make pictures of a cost saving/bargain shopping Queen.

That's why it looks posed then - thanks for correcting me. I didn't remember the photo from the constitution reading at first so clearly didn't recognise it!

Sadly, Julen was finally found but did not survive the fall. A true tragedy since he fell into an illegally built water drill. And horrific for the parents, who lost a child before, Julen's brother died of a heart attack at the age of 3 a couple of years ago.

I heard about this on the news when I woke up. How tragic - may the little boy rest in peace.
It was lovely that Letizia called the mayor of the town and I'm sure it will bring great comfort to his family to now that the queen was concerned as it will bring more awareness to the boy's tragic death.

Great to see Leonor and Sofia wearing more age appropriate outfits - they look so grown up and like mini versions of their mother in terms of style (and looks for Leonor)! If I didn't know any better I'd think Sofia was the oldest of the two, she seems taller and more grown up than her older sister.

I believe there was a time when Infanta Cristina was the same height as Infanta Elena when they were kids and eventually Cristina became taller than Elena even though that Elena is the oldest. I guess the borbon genes are stronger in Sofia, while Leonor has her mother's petite features. They're both lovely


BTW, I was comparing photos with Ariane, Isabella and Sofia (all of them were born in the same year/same month) and it seemed to me that Sofia was the taller and most mature of them all. Can't wait to see which of them will be the tallest in the future

Interesting - I also seem to remember from old photos that Cristina was particularly tall at one point.
Yes, I'd love to see a height comparison between the three in one photo, we can but dream!

Nice to see the king with his cousin Don Beltrán Gómez-Acebo.

He's still got it, after all these years. Yes, this is a shallow comment

Hi, I didn't follow the life of this family for the past years. I would like to ask, what is the opinion about them in Spain? How do they spend their freetime? Do they have hobbies? Do they have nannies and cooks at home, or they made more themselves? Are there any interviews with them? Letizia seems to me very serious, what kind of mother is she to Leonor and Sophia? It seems to me, this family is very privat, shy, unlike other royalfamilies in Europe, who made often photosession, interviews...

felipe has a rather positive image in the public opinion. letizia less so as she is seen as cold and distant and too obsessed about her image and that of her family (her daughters mainly). as a mum, she is very protective of her daughters and she curates their appearances. i suppose it is quite likely that in terms of staff they have help, but i don't this this was ever made public. in terms of free time, it was reported they sometimes go hiking in spain and they like the cinema and are often seen in nearby cinemas, and that letizia practices yoga and zumba with her friends. they barely release private details so we don't know very much of their private life.

The Spanish Royal Family has some employees. They have employees like cooks, maids, etc. The Royal House also has nurses. It also has accessors and other people who work on the royal family's agenda. In addition to the persons responsible for security.

Don't know how true this is but several media outlets and twitter/Instagram feeds reported that queen Letizia was most unhappy looking and had her famous scowl on throughout the night .Ofcourse it could be just a bad photo and nothing more.

The only real news is that they attended the concert, and the only photo that exists is that made by a mobile phone, no one who has been in the concert has commented information on any media ... the absurd inventions and interpretations of gossip and fake news websites like Bekia ... are just that. There are numerous media articles a little more serious that do not focus on the news like this.

Also, Bekia does not say that "queen Letizia was most unhappy looking and had her famous scowl on throughout the night"... it just says that in the instagram account that published the photo there was some comment that pointed to the not happy face of Letizia in the photo.
