I don't think I am really digging the pink shirt Felipe is spotting! Nice tie, but the pink shirt has got to go!

Nice pictures xicamaluca, though. (It's not your fault he's wearing a pink shirt however&#33 Thank you for keeping us all up to date on this important event with the Spanish royals.

Felipe's fiancée makes royal debut

9 DECEMBER 2003
One month after Crown Prince Felipe announced his engagement to newscaster Letizia Ortiz, the happy couple reappeared publicly for the first time this past weekend, joining the rest of the Spanish royal family to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the country's constitution.

The future princess opted to wear an elegant tweed jacket and skirt for the king's daytime address at congress – another first, as trousersuits have been Letizia's preference in the past – changing into a black silk skirt for the evening's celebrations, a concert held in the Royal Theatre in central Madrid.

Letizia has not been seen in public since November 6, when she and Prince Felipe appeared together at their official engagement presentation in the scenic grounds of El Pardo palace. The couple are set to wed at Madrid's Almudena cathedral on May 22.

Well, Letizia certainly looks kind of "queenly" in this photo!

May i ask why Letizia appeared on this occasion? I mean as she is still not yet a member of the family right? Or had she been doing lots of duty already!!! Do you have photos of her on other royal duty?

There's a photo at this event that I saw before but I can't find it now. It's of Letizia and she's peaking out behind several rather tall men. It's really cool. Has anybody else seen it?
