Princes of Asturias attract mediatic interest in ceremony
The presence of Princes de Asturias in the taking of possession like president of Portugal de Aníbal Cavaco Silva, today monopolized good part of the Portuguese mediatic interest. The Princes, who will be transferred to the Palace of Queluz, to about 20 kilometers of Lisbon, to attend the banquet of State offered by Cavaco Silva to their guests, arrived half an hour at the seat of the Parliament before the ceremony.
When the princes acceded to the Palace of Sao Bento they separated to direct itself to the places anticipated by the protocol in the act of taking of possession of Cavaco Silva. The Prince did it in the tribune main of guests located to the left of the presidency of the Parliament, whereas Doña Letizia did it in the opposite side.
The Princess of Asturias, with suit of street of beige color and shoes to game, entered the chamber and occupied a place near ex- Portuguese president Mario Soares and his wife, Maria Barroso.

Booo for them! Sorry, I didn't know you weren't able to see it... let me see if I find other TV links...
Anyway, Letizia was wearing a pink set of skirt and blouse and a beautiful pink over coat. She greated everybody in the tribune in a very warm and sympathetic way.:)

Before occupying his place in the tribune, the Prince chated with the ex-American president George Bush, who had received him a few years ago in the White House. According to diplomatic sources, the father of the US president congratulated the Prince for his marriage and recent paternity and asked him to express his best greetings to King Juan Carlos.
The Prince occupied a place next to Duke Henri of Luxembourg and near George Bush.
In the end of the ceremony, the Princes greeted Cavaco Silva, accompanied by the Secretary of State for Foreign Subjects, Alberto Navarro, and by the ambassador of Spain in Portugal, Enrique Panes.
In these acts the Princes are not in the habit of sitting down in the same place. The Prince is in the platform of the Ghiefs of State or representatives of governments. Letizia was sat in another guests' platform together with the ex-president Soares and his wife.

Yes, Letizia was sat along with all the other previous Portuguese presidents and their wives, as well as with the salient and new first ladies.
They didn't want nothing that could distract these porwerful men, ahahahah... :p
I'm kidding, lula and Elsa explained it very well.
In that balcony are the Heads of State from several countries.
Princess Letizia was honoured being sitted in the balcony of former Presidents and the actual First Lady... :) (shhhhhhh, I haven't seen the pictures that will appear but I am sure that she was like a breeze of youth and elegance, but shhhh I said nothing )

Letizia was one of the youngest persons in that tribune and, boy, she definitely stood from the crowd . She greeted the other presidents and respective wives in a very nice way and, during the ceremony, she was chatting with the former prime-minister Pinto Balsemão, who explained to her what was happening.
Was the private dinner of Princes, yesterday, with Dukes of Braganza?
Nothing was said in the press about it... It was only mentioned that the presidents from the PALOPs (Portuguese Speaking Countries) had an informal dinner all together in a hotel, but nothing was said about the Princes...
