They're back!!! I just saw in Elmundo.es a picture of them both before attending a mass today. Prince Felipe is now sporting a beard and mustache.

I absolutely love the beard! I have always loved to see P Felipe with a beard. He's now more gorgeuos than ever.

I just found this pics from the couple, just after their arrival in Madrid. Letizia looks realy tired (maybe because a big return trip from the Fiji island )

I'm so happy that they're back. I was looking forward to this more than the return of F&M. I must say that Prince Felipe looks very VERY sexy with that beard... Letizia, herself, looks wonderful with that lovely tan.

felipe is much more handsome with beard! i'm sure letizia had something to be with that change! :) it seems to me it was her suggestion...
by the way, letizia looks a bit tired...

Before he became engaged, I could never understand the fascination with Prince Felipe. I admit now that I was wrong. That beard is just WAY too sexy.

Okay Lyonnaise, I was just about to agree with you until you said the beard is sexy! :flower: Just a personal thing I guess, but I don't like beards and goatees of any kind. I don't like itchy, scratchy facial hair.

I agree with you on one point though. I, too have never understood the fascination with Felipe. I guess you could say he is just not the kind of guy to float my boat. I'll take Frederik over him any day. :crush: I don't think he is unattractive per se, he is just not my type. Maybe it is the height thing. I'm only 5'2". I don't like tall guys to make me feel even shorter than I already am!

The funny thing Gabriella, is that I don't like beards also. However, there's something very "manly" about the way he looks with it. :P If he were my husband though, I'd probably demand he shaved it off after two days!!

Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the Prince Frederik thing even more!! I always thought that Joachim was the elder brother for some strange reason and when I found out that Frederik was the crown prince, I thought that there was a medical/personal reason that prevented Joachim from being CP. Wasn't I red in the face when I found out that Frederik was actually the elder son!!

As for the height thing- Letizia has given short girls like me hope. I'm only 5'1 and I love taller guys. I've told my friends and family that I'm planning to marry some basketball player in the near future!!

Men are allowed to keep accessories once in a while. It is a phase they go through. At this point he needs some decoration, and the bear foots the bill. Why do you girls complain about? You are not allowed to touch so there is no itchy scratchy whinys until letty put a stop to it.

Funny, I thought Joachim was the older brother too. Frederik seems like an overgrown boy and I can&#39;t take him seriously at all. It&#39;s all a matter of taste.

As for Letizia--she&#39;s not short, she just looks small next to Felipe. Unless you think 5&#39;6/5&#39;7 is short--I think it&#39;s average height.

In any case, I love this picture and think the white pant suit looks fantastic on her.

[hrhcp]

his beard might be looking better .... but imho it still doesn&#39;t suit him.

Just for the first part of it. They made a tour through Spain and afterwards they visited Petra, in Jordan.

After they left Jordan, no one know for where they went.
