Ha ha I missed have missed those

I think certain parts of the media were having a slow week!

I am sure I wouldn't be happy if Felipe had the seat in front of me!

Whilst I wish these sorts of photos wouldn't be shared by the media, it's nice to see the family shopping at lower budget stores.

I think this it the point to share these sorts of photos with the media, to show 'normal' they are, buying low cost fashion.
The photo looks carefully staged to me, I mean everybody has a smartphone these days, we'd have seen a lot more photos if this was a 'normal' occasion and not controlled by security.

Princess of Asturias will attend for the first time this year, with King Felipe and Queen Letizia, the Princess of Asturias awards in October and the Princess of Girona awards in November. Infanta Sofía will also attend.

Thanks for the info lula, Leonor is 14 years old in October, a good age to start.

Curious how her role will be, sitting with Grandma and sister up on the balcony or with her parents on the podium.

I'm still in shock it having dawned on me that Leonor is 14 this October.

Maybe she'll sit with her parents and deliver a speech.

King Felipe was seen on Friday buying padel rackets at a shopping centre.

King Felipe attended a lunch with colleagues from the military school on Saturday. The meeting was in memory of a friend who died of cancer 15 years ago.

Lula, are there any photos of the King's shopping trip? There didn't seem to be photos in the article that was linked, so I was just curious if store patrons don't typically take photos of the King while he's "off duty" out of deference to him. I've seen photos of other members of the RF while in non-official capacities, so I wondered.

Nice to see Leonor and Sofia with Letizia. From a distance, the girls look like twins in these photos!

The dailymail about the first day after the summer break:


** dm: Royals on the school run! Spanish Princesses Leonor, 13, and Sofia, 12, are joined by parents Queen Letizia and King Felipe as they arrive..**

[theroyalfly]

The Spanish Royal Family is the epitome of regal beauty and class.

The girls have grown so fast and quite lovely. Look so much a like now. Hope that the media lets them alone for a few years yet so they can enjoy their young lives as normal as possible in their special spot in life. I believe Felipe and Letizia have achieved so far and I congratulate them. When they are in late teens is quite soon enough to be bogged down with public responsibilities.
