Very cute how they look at each other
2. Everytime I see pictures of the SRF with other Heads of State I'm reminded how tall they all are

What a lovely purple Queen Sofia was wearing today! It looks great on her, and the colour is similar to the one of that wonderful purple gala dress she wore not very long ago.

It is cute crisiñaki, I agree! Polfoto calls it 'a light moment'. we don't often get to see many looks like this.

Thanks for all the nice pictures, the Queen looks very good in purpel, the rest look a little blech with their bland colors, lets hope Princess Letizia has payed a visit here for her gala dress and that the infantas also will join the dinner

If the Infantas attend the dinner I hope Cristina chooses a bright colored outfit. Lately her outfits have been quite dark

Hola's photo from today's lunch:

 

[carlota]

i loved letizia's jacket. looked so professional and chic at t same time. seems varela is puting a lot of effort into making a different type of suits for letizia, which is appreciated, by us royal watchers... (thanks, felipe!)
i didn't like very much the suit by the queen though.
can't wait until the gala, which i think it's about to start soon. such a long time without seeing any of them! wonder which dresses will sofia and letizia be wearing. i reckon letizia's will be new, so my expectations can't be bigger!

the boots mrs. putin wore are definetely terrible. for such a formal event i think you are expected to wear shoes, even if it's cold. they just look awkward.

Indeed, it looks really great on her!!
I love that photo of the King and the Queen (that they're looking to each other) it's precious! when i was seeing it, i was thinking that now they look very happy!!

News of tve,

Gala dinner is presided by the Kings, Princes of Asturias and Dukes of Palma, Letizia looks wonderful ,

From newscom:

Finally, the Dukes of Palm have been present at the dinner, but not the Dukes of Lugo.
The Princess of Asturias releases a dress in green color, and takes the tiara of the flowers.
The Infanta Cristina repeats the dress that she used in the Danish wedding and takes the tiara that Letizia took in her wedding.
The Queen takes a dress, I believe that beis and a tiara of pearls.

This is strange, Dukes of Lugo are not present...Will have Infanta Elena some health problems? (pregnacy... )

It was not predicted that they went to the dinner, so the rare thing would be that they were. The Dukes of Palm did not, but perhaps travel to something to Madrid and took advantage of either. It has happened other times that an Infant to a lunch or a dinner goes and other no.

Desing of Caprile for Letizia?

Exquisite is the right word! Very chic indeed! I really like it! So elegant and fits the Queen's body so well! Ladies, I'm in love with a dress!
...Not so sure about Letizia's... I have to wait for more pictures...

Yes Elsa, Im completely agree with you..Queen Sofia is shining tonite

 

[carlota]

i share your opinion elsa. sofia seems that is going to be the queen of the night. i don't really like letizia's dress much from what i have seen though. i guess we will have to wait until seeing more pictures. the upper part is ok and seems nice, but the skirt seems of the same type of that red one that was far too big for her petite complexion.

I absolutely love the Queen's dress! It suits her so well! I'm also not sure about Letizia's dress, we need more pics

btw, another nice gesture captured of Their Majesties today:

 

[adelaide]

The Letizia's hearings, new ones (?) look absolutly fantastic, isn't ?

Yes, the earrings and the necklace seem to be new (or given by the Queen), I hope that there is a better photo to see them well. It seems that the dress has been a fact to go with this set of jewels.

 

[LaChicaMadrilena]

Queen Sofia shines these days! letizia's gown is very nice, but I'm not enchanted. The skirts seems to be similar to the red one, so maybe she didn't want to waste time and wanted to be with a baby instead of sitting and thinking about the dress. So she could just tell Capriceto sew another one.

 

[Marengo]

Any better pictures of infanta Cristina? I wonder what tiara she is wearing. The Queen is terribly elegant, as always and despite the dress, Letizia looks beautiful, very beautiful! The necklace Letizia is wearing resembles the one the queen wore during the wedding of Felipe and Letizia IMO. Mrs Putin looks better then usual, my compliments to her as well.

 

[Elsa M.]

Marengo, Infanta Cristina is wearing the same tiara that Letizia and Sofia took at their wedding: the Prussian one... We'll certainly get tons of pictures of it...

So she could just tell Capriceto sew another one.

You're so funny! I'm laughing out loud at your comment! Poor Capriceto...
