It is great that they decided to return to tradition and this photoshoot in Marivent. On their first year as the King and Queen in Mallorca, it is a good choice. I loved everyone's outfits. They are very good with the media, that everyone of them went and greeted and talked with the photographers was a wise choice. Who would not melt in front of those girls and smiling and relaxed King and Queen. |
When I saw the pictures, I immediately thought of the time and pictures when the Prince & Princess of Wales and their young sons William & Harry used to vacation with the royals at Marivent.

After the audiences of today morning, King Felipe greets people from Almudaina Palace´s balcony (pics by Casa Real):

Whatever can be said about Felipe, one thing is true: he is the true image of a king

DM is british, 95% of Brits have no idea that Spain has a king. So they try to raise interest by mentioning something that most Brits are able to connect to Spain, eg Magaluf. Sad but true.

I didn't even remember that, I was remembering the photoshoots when Leonor was little.
Felipe today

The new photos of Felipe, Letizia, Leonor and Sofia are great! The girls are adorable and I think Leonor is starting to look a lot like Letizia now. I think Sofia looks more like the Borbons since I see a lot of Queen Sofia, Juan Carlos and Elena in her. I find it interesting how the greeted the press afterwards, since I don't remember them doing that in previous photoshoots - perhaps it's something they have to do now that Felipe is King.
I particularly love these photos of Leonor and Felipe, Sofia and Felipe with Leonor and Letizia looking on and Leonor and Sofia together.

Thank you for that - I looked again and I think you are right. Leonor is already striking. Will be interesting to watch her grow into a young lady.
I, too, wonder about them greeting the press. Is that a function of being the monarchial family? It certainly is good PR but I won't be cynical. Maybe they were just feeling expansive and in fine holiday spirits.

I´m liking a lot the new King and Queen´s style. Changing the tradictional formal dinner with about 40 guests from the high authorities from the Balearic Islands for a more informal reception to 200 people from different circles: politicians, sportmen, artists, activists, students, etc, seems like a very effective gesture. Greeting the people outside the palace before the reception starts is even a greater one. They do this quite often now, it may attract more people to wait for them at the events, which would be fantastic as well.
And they´re greeting the guest at the palace´s courtyard, lovely. It is goegeous and looks more summery and islander.
