All those more photos I see, more anger gives me that the journalists and photographers do not respect a bit and leave them to enjoy their vacations in peace. They go several days criticizing them because the Prince was not going to take part in the ditches, and it turns out that they obtain photos much better than when he takes part. The photos are marvellous, and they have very good aspect (probably Letizia with the face a bit tired at the end of the day). I imagine that these will not be the last photos of this summer, this forum us is going to remain small.

The Princes of Asturias shared today, at the Nautical Club of Palma, aleisure moment with the participants of the Copa del Rey, at the end of the second day of regattas. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia had previously passed the day in the sea, on board of the boat "Somni", piloted by the Prince himself, from where they whatched the beginning of the regatta. From the boat, the Princes kindly followed the navigation of the "CAM", the boat in which Don Felipe has competed in previous editions and of whom he is the captain.
In the middle of the afternoon, the Princes returned to Sont Vent, their residence in Palma, within the enclosure of Marivent, and at half past seven in the afternoon, they returned to the Nautical Club, where they shared, in a relaxed atmosphere, a paella with the sailors.

The Princes, who arrived in a car driven by Don Felipe, greeted the many participants in the competition, as well as the people who were waiting for their arrival. After the greetings and chats, they attended, along with the crew of the "CAM", a concert performed by the Mallocan singer Jaume Anglada, a friend of the Prince.

Yo know why? Because the spanish media are spoiled by Felipe and letizia.They treath them with respect and let them have the freedom to take there photos when ever they want.Even on there Holidays.So more they give them, more they want.I know not one other realhouse that do this.So instant of being greatfull to the princess they act selfish.Shame on them.I Love to see felipe and Letizia so relax and happy.Good for them.They are both very strong people.Because even when the pers is trying to hurt them ( Letizia more) They came strong and relax and happy the next day.I'm Not spanish, But i'm proud off them.Every day y love them more.

ITA lapopdiva! The press seems to follow Felipe and Letizia wherever they go and I have never seen them be anything but gracious. I remember earlier in the summer photographers had followed Willem and Maxima on a vacation that they were supposed to be left alone on and the magazine was banned from the family photo session because of it. I don't see why they make it out to be like Letizia always tells Felipe what to do. Perhaps he wants to stay with Letizia because he loves her and wants to be around her and not because she tells him to.

My dear, a loving, dedicated, happy marriage, as every photo and honest report suggests, does not make a very good story, and so some journalists must find a "polemic". It's no different from other journalists and prominent figures across the world. I would qualify this as the second most ridiculous "fake polemic" since they went public with their relationship. The first, of course, being the months long angst over the true height of Letizia's heals! As with all fake polemics, only the people who wish to think ill will take it seriously; reasonable people will see this for the silly thing it is.

In any case, I just adore this photo--a couple need not kiss in public for their love and "complicidad" to be evident:

Thanks for the pictures everyone!

I just love looking at this couple - they are so fresh and seem so down to earth! And they really look like they truly enjoy each other's company. (I just hope that they don't mind that we are all coming along on their holidays with them:))

thanks for the pics!! :)

From Face to face, very nice pictures and surly more saleable than a gazillion pictures of Felipe sailing, if they want those pictures then can take some from last year, or the year before that, or the year before that, there are plenty to pick from....I think the spanish press is spoiled having the bigger part of the royal family spending their vacation so public and with so little privacy considering their very full and public agenda rest of the year

PS There are two series on colourpress if someone else wants to post and attach them, some new pictures and many already posted. Here is the first pic in every series, just change the last numbers one by one

These photos are really, really great. I have mixed feelings: on one hand it could be better for them if everybody left them alone in peace, but on the other hand these pics are awesome and it's so great to see this couple so happy and rested.
