Is the Royal House not going to publish the programme of the trip? How unusual, they usually publish a summary beforehand, don't they?

So they willl be received in the parliament today, a day were there is a national debate with the government there? Will the speaker and the representatives leave the debate to receive them? I know they don't really take serious what they are debating there but still...

I saw them leaving Belém Palace around 3pm. God How tall is Felipe? :eek: He towered over our president who himself towers over everyone:D

What is this woman wearing for a visit to the parliament? NOOOOOOO
 
Please tell me that she wore a suit jacket to match the pants but because of the weather (i.e its was too hot) she took it off during the meeting.

Otherwise, could she put a little effort into her wardrobe. I can understand if clothes are not a priority to her (some people just see clothes as something to wear out of the house and not to make a fashion statement) but seriously...is she working or making a errand run?

Something along the lines of what she wore the first day would be appropriate IMO. If she wanted to do the pant suit thing that would be okay but this.....this is what I wear to work on casual Fridays!
 
it could have been worse; she could have done belly top!;)
Felipe always looks the part, unfortunately his wife looks like she only got to the event by accident. It doesnt look austerity, it just looks silly.

Del oporto de 570 euros de Cavaco Silva, al vino pelen del embajador espaol

God that article is very harsh with the reception at the embassy:sad:

But I'm glad our president is promoting our Port which according to some sources the princes liked very much. Not surprising..Port wine is always good.
Funny that the port was called Duque de Bragança. He's present eventough he isn't there;)
