[Juanita]

K, you're........ a True Star! Thank you very much!

BTW, pardon my ignorance but who is Vaclav Havel?

 

[Mari_*]

He is or was.. (don't know for sure) the President of the Czech Republic

 

[LaChicaMadrilena]

He is or was.. (don't know for sure) the President of the Czech Republic

He was. He is not the president any more for 2-3 years, I think. Moreover, he is a very good playwriter.

BTW, pardon my ignorance but who is Vaclav Havel?

And thank you as well for that, J I had to smile about your little discussion about Mr Havel He was president from 1989 till 2003, at first of Czechoslovakia and later of the Czech Republic.

A very nice pic from 1988:

One question: the young man with them in the first picture is Prince Charles, right? he looked sooooooooooo young!

 

[Jose]

Queen Sofia is elegant and married over 40 to King Juan Carlos. She is love royal family of Spain and she is sister to King Constantine of Greece.

Yes, he is... and I agree, he looks funnily young...

 

[*SofiaM*]

Thanks for all the amazing pictures. Queen Sofia is so elegant!
A quick question: Does anybody have any pics of her when she was a little girl? I've seen the ones from photo agencies such as 'corbis', but wondered if you had any old books or magazines with pictures in!

I hope somebody will be kind enough to help!

Queen Sofia could be wearing sport clothes and she'll still look wonderful. She is naturally elegant.

Mon and Zarzuela, thanks for the nice pics of the couple

 

[Juanita]

Thank you very much for the photos, sis!

I hate this watermarks!!! The other ones were better!!

And thank you very much for all the photos, my dear K!
I've to say something: the style of Queen Sofia is much better now! Honnestilly i think fashion of the 80's and the 90's was...... terrible! I'm glad that fashion is better now...

 

[iceflower]

You are most welcome dear J
And lula, that portrait from Hola is wonderful and the pics from the Fundación Reina Sofía do give a very good review on her social work all over the world. Thanks for posting!

[zarzuela]

I found this picture in http://www.60thcelebrations.com/english/visiting.php?visit=20

I know the Queen wore this dress at the Chinese gala in Madrid, but I'm not sure this picture was taken at the same time because she's wearing the pearl necklace with the big pearl drop. Any idea on where and when was this picture taken?

 

[Juanita]

Here some beautiful photos of Queen Sofia A special gift from my sis
