do we have more close-up pictures of Jaime before his stroke?
i honnestly believe the stroke hasn't affect him that much. compared to most average men, he's still good looking, tall and dark, and suitable with Infanta Elena.
probably a little smile and laugh every now and then would help him for a better public image.

Some pics from hola and corbis http://www.geocities.com/casiraghitrio/spain/elena.html

I think both of these kids look so much like Elena, especially Froilan. Can anyone confirm how to pronounce Froilan? I am American of Spanish descent but my Spanish is not good and I have never encountered the name Froilan other than in reference to this little cutie.

I know how to pronounce it, but I can't describe it, Casiraghi

But there are some experts around here, maybe they'll find your answer..

I scanned in some of my pics of Elena and Jaime - hope you like them!!

The happier times, where did they all go?:(

CasiraghiTrio · #28 12-30-2005, 02:42 AM

Elena seems to like her Chanel clutch bags. planetcher, why do you say the happy times are gone? Have the recent pics of Elena and Jaime not been so happy? I haven't seen any very new ones.

Maybe it only seems as if the past had been happier, as in a retrospective you mostly choose the pics with laughter and loving gestures..
Here are some more I scanned in:

I have heard it on the news as 'FR' , 'OI' like oy in boy and then 'LAN'.

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Don't you think that the stroke that Jamie suffered aged him a lot? If you look at the engagement and early pictures before the stroke he seems younger and more handsome. I think that his ill health has had an impact upon the marriage but I seem to think that Elena must love him even if it is not shown as much in public

What do you think?

Saturday 22 in the afternoon. Jaime is practicing exercise, in static bicycle , in the gymnasium close to his residence . Then he began to be felt bad and went home.
•In his residence he fainted. A doctor recommended him to go to the hospital.
• Around 8 o'clock in the afternoon, a team of the 061 reports al hospital Gregorio Marañón of the urgent transfer of the duke of Lugo al central. •It was semiinconsciente and the doctors that accompany it, as well as their woman, the infant Elena, they try to maintain him awake. •After valuing his state, Jaime is entered in the Unit of Intensive Cares. •Six hours later, the Warlike doctor, leader of the UCI and part of its team report of the gravity of their state. •Al yerno of the Kings they diagnose him a cerebral heart attack with paralysis of the left side of the body.

I don't have the time right now to fix the grammatical mistakes, I'll do it tonight, sorry:o
