Príncipe de Asturias: "este nacimiento refuerza la estabilidad institucional"

2005/05/08. José Ignacio Colás , Madrid
e-mail:noticias@antena3tv.esLas primeras palabras de don Felipe durante la visita oficial que los Príncipes de Asturias realizan a Baleares han sido para expresar la alegría y satisfacción por el nacimiento de su primer hijo.
Don Felipe ha señalado: "colma así nuestros deseos de formar una familia" y "refuerza la estabilidad y continuidad institucional para el mejor servicio a la Corona y a España" . Los Príncipes de Asturias han comenzado hoy en la sede de la presidencia del Govern balear una visita oficial que se prolongará hasta el viernes.

Tras recibir la enhorabuena de los representantes de las instituciones de las Islas Baleares, ya en las calles han sido felicitados por el numeroso público que se agolpaba para ver a doña Letizia, que dará a luz en noviembre y a quien todavía no se le notan señales externas del embarazo.

Prince Felipe expressed that "we can not hide the happiness that we feel for the future birth of our first child" and that "a boy or a girl, we want it the same way". In a brief conversation with the journalists who are covering their official visit to the Balearic Islands, the Princes thanked the numerous proves of affection and congratulations received since yesterday. The Princes appeared smiling, happy and chated a few minutes with the journalist. "How is the lady?" was the first question for Doña Letizia. "You'll see, wonderfully", answered the Prince. "I am well, with the normal annoyances of any pregnant woman", recognized the Princess, who showed a tired face at the begining of the morning .

I think that couple look absolutely adorable with the children. Especially Felipe, he's probably thinking that in 6 months time he'll have a cute boy or girl himself.

As far as Letizia goes, she is looking very happy but I think maybe a tad embarrased. She always got attention from the people and now, after the announcement of the pregnancy, she's getting it twofold. And so far, from what I have read and seen about Letizia, she is not an attention-seeking woman, and thus she's finding the double amount of attention a tad uncomfortable.

I totally agree with you pdas. It has always seemed to me that Letizia prefers to be somewhat in the background and today everyone is focusing on her. BTW thanks for the pics from wire image.

Great outfit for Letizia! And very nice to see her take a more prominent position at this visit, she's usually more in the "background" as marezdote pointed out. She does however look a bit tired or whatever it is. I hope she starts taking on solo engagements sometimes in the future, she's a great lady!
