Princes come Basilica Atocha to present Infanta Virgin

The Princes of Asturias came at 11.15 hours to the Basilica of Our Lady of Atocha to present the Virgin to their first-born one, the Infanta Leonor, and to expire of this form with a tradition of the Spanish Royal Family who goes back a XVIIth century.

Don Felipe and Dona Letizia, who was taking in arms the small Leonor, were got by the cardinal archbishop of Madrid, Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, and by the friars Dominicans Jose Martin and Manuel Santos, priors of the convent and provincial, respectively.

Also they were waiting for the numerous civil Princes of Asturias who showed them their fondness at their entry to the temple, where the own Prince Felipe was presented before the Virgin to a few days of his birth.

Oh! The act has been so nice and sweet.
The princess has been very attentive and affectionate with her daughter.
Even in the entry to the church letizia says to the Preincipe Felipe , That the girl was weighing very much, and The Princess has said to her daughter to the ear and in sweet tone " Yuo are very rather fat my love "
It has been a sweet, that so nice family

Im so sorry for all those who could not have seen it in alive, it has been very nice

Don't say that, Paty:o . LaChica is about to have a nervous breakdown

...

But, please tell us more, how did Leonor reacted with mum words, was she paying attention or more interested on the surroundings, how did the Princes lived the act of presentation itself were they recogidos (can't remember the word in English)... Tell us what have you seen, inside and outside of Basilica, please :)... Who touched the baby?! How did she react?! please Paty, tell us all, seems like you lived it so intensily, you're the one to make the report. please

Thanks in advance.

mtbcm :)

P.S. - Princess Letizia can't take her hands from her baby, she is all the time touching her arm and hand... but who can blame her?! Leonor is sweetie...

Leonor is a beautiful baby! Such a sweet family and it seems Leonor was perfectly behaved throughout (which I'm sure was a relief to her parents!

) These are gorgeous pictures and I love seiing them.

Leonor was totally calm, during the ceremony she was in arms of her mother. It was hot and with the weight of the girl one saw that already it finds it hard to Letizia to take her. The girl was listening to her mother, who was speaking to her in order that she was calm. The girl was very attentive to everything what had around, was looking backward to the place where the monks were that made her nice gestures.

They let enter people in the basilica, and to the slair some of them tried to touch to the girl, but her father was attentive in order that nothing was happening.

Leonor still when she is in arms of her father stretches the arm to look for mom. The girl turns pale, not neither with the unknown people, nor with the shouts, nor with the photographers ... it is incredible.

In the Church there were many people, normal people, public inspectors of the church and neighbors of the neighborhood.

The princess Letizia has had all the time Leonor in her arms. Leonor was more dependent on the surroundings, that of what her mother was saying to her.
Later the Prince to loaded to Leonor, the priest has given the benediction in the forehead and later they have gone out of the Church.

When the Princes were going out for the central Corridor of the Church all the persons who were in the interior have touched Leonor and the Princes.
Leonor has been at all time very interested on the people and on the Priests, the clothes of the priests have been called her very much her attention.

So it was just whatever people wanted to be there in the basilica? Neighbors and parishoners? That's nice.
