It's great to see Their Majesties interact with children. I can see why the have such great relationships with their grandchildren.

What did the Queen do to her hair (color) in the 80's?
It looks different depending the angle you are looking at

Thanks for the pics K!
Queen Sofia is known to be a very keen photographer, I would kill for the opportunity to check out her personal album

For some minutes I thought I was crazy as I could not refind my pic at the place I had put it first, but in this part of the forums, the Moderators work very fine So I take the opputunity and say: thank you for your work!

Crisinaki, you are so right, we need to see her albums!!!!

For her 50th birthday in 1988 Sofia gave an interview to Royalty Monthly. Asked about the later partners of their children she said:
"I would not mind if Felipe chose a wife who did not come from a noble family, but I would like her to love her work. My children must choose who they will marry, but it is advisable they have a similar education"
Here are some pics of that:

Thank you soo much, Paty!! The photos are beautiful!!

 

[planetcher]

Beautiful photos! OT, I've always wondered what Jaime, Inaki, and Letizia call the King and Queen in private. Do you think they call them Mama and Papa? Here in the US you can call your parents-in law by their first names and it's fine.

 

[iceflower]

Many many thanks K!!! I like the photos! Specially the first and the last one!

Me too, she looks so fresh and happy
And M, great pics, especially number 1 and 5!
