:lol: Yes, but I find that on some pics,those of his arrival at Mexico City, he looks a little bit tired ( or it's the red eyes effect of the fotos ?) anyway, it would understable because since three days it's yet a true marathon between all his meetings.

We can understand when we see the Prince's agenda that Letizia had to stay at home.... with her so cute little Infanta:bunny:

The meeting is one of the habitual acts of Felipe de Borbón's agenda when he represents Spain in the captures of possession of agents chief executive, principally of Latin America, from 1996.

In this occasion, nevertheless, the meeting will celebrate in the hotel Royal Way of Mexico City, to where Fox has moved from the presidential residence of the Pines, given the problematic circumstances in which one finds the capital before the investiture of his successor and companion of the Party of National Action (PAN), 44-year-old Felipe Calderón, who will take place tomorrow, on December 1.

An hour later the inheritor of the Spanish Wreath will add to the agents chief executive who have confirmed his assistance to the acts of investiture, to share the dinner that there will offer them the politician who has governed the destiny of this North American country for six years.

At the moment, the prince will share table with fourteen chiefs of State and of Government, between them there is foreseen the assistance of the prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, the presidents Alvaro Uribe (Colombia), Elías Antonio Extracts (El Salvador), Ricardo Maduro (Honduras), Enrique Bolaños (Nicaragua), and Abel Pacheco (Costa Rica), as well as the ex-president of the USA, George Bush, father, in representation of his son, between others.

The network that Prince Felipe is building in especially Latin America is very impressive. No other royalty that comes to mind has so many interactions with high level politicians in so many counties as he has. I don't think he gets sufficient credit for the work he does because it is unique to Spain.
