The other Princesses recycle their outfits too :flower: I think its nice that she wear it again because there's not much pics of that outfit when she first wear it. Felipe's beard reminds me of Haakon

[nouwrein]

I love their tan

[nouwrein]

yes, and look at the official wedding stamp too :(

[xicamaluca]

The spanish royal family it's known for not spending too much money taking official pics :P That's why they used those pics in the stamp and for Letizia as official pic. They don't have an official photografer and The pics from the Royal House Website are from EFE, spanish news agency.

But is very likely that soon Letizia will have a studio official pic, just like they other memebrs of the royal family

But this is better than the one they chose, IMO. And there are so much better shots (from that occasion/first presentation) than the one they chose for the stamp. As for Letizia's official pic, they could have posted at least a smiling Letizia. Or is there something going on?
