Summer Holidays in Mallorca: 2005

[marezdote]

Thanks for the pictures. They are such a lovely family. Glad to see they are enjoying themselves.

Yes, thanks for the pics. It's so great to see the entire family, with the Kings and almost all kids (without little Irene). And F&L and Elena with the family are back!

Great pics! Finally… the Princes, Infanta Elena and her family!

I was thinking that we wouldn’t be able to see her adorable children this
summer, but there they are! I agree with Elsa: unfortunately, seeing Jaime smiling is not very usual, but he seems to be very relaxed and in good spirits. Maybe his holidays in *who-knows-where* went down very well for him.
And… has somebody a bird’s-eye view to see who appears in Elena’s photo t-shirt?
I think it’s one of that personalized t-shirts, but maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks again!

Wow! There we have a very atypical look of Queen Sofia, showing her naked shoulders. I think that she was dressed like that because she wasn’t expecting any paparazzi. Though, I think that these fresh clothes suit her a lot. I couldn’t agree more with those who have said that the Queen never looked better.

Could it be that the Marichalars and F&L were altogether for a few days when the press couldn't find them? I heard stories that F&L were either in Greece or Prague.

Mallorca was yesterday scenary to the most awaited photo of the summer. Next time we catch a photo of the whole royal family it will be on the occasion of the birth of the first child of the Princes of Asturias.

Yesterday, the royal yacht Fortuna was the scene of the first photo of them together and, for the first time, in Mallorca: the Kings, the princes of Asturias, the Dukes of Lugo, the Dukes of Palma and all the royal grandchildren. It was not easy to catch the meeting, which could not be photographed last summer, the first one after the wedding of Don Felipe and Doña Letizia, neither until yesterday, Sunday, due to the leavings and the arrivings of ones and others.

With the arrival of the princes of Asturias (who returned to Mallorca on Saturday, after some days of private vacations) and the one of the Dukes of Lugo and their children, Felipe and Victoria (who spent the first weeks of August in the United States), Marivent made its first plenary session. In the summer residence of the Kings, there have remained these days Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofia, as well as the Dukes of Palma and their children, Juan, Pablo, Miguel and Irene. Yesterday, as it happens on many Sundays in other so many families and places, the parents managed to join their whole family.

Don Juan Carlos embarked them all on board of the Fortuna, and took them to Cabrera, the only Balearic enclave where the royal family can enjoy privacy, due to ecological reserve status of the island, which impedes the free access to its coast.

In the wild island, they would spend the day and have the traditional Sunday paella. The children took bath in warm waters, while the adults were looking after them.

Nevertheless, an occasion like this one was about to be lost, while the summer photographers were seeing the Fortuna going away, taking on board all its treasure. However, Don Juan Carlos allowed the miracle all were waiting for, and when leaving the port, he decided to play the role of magical king in the heat of August. Instead of taking direct course to Cabrera, Don Juan Carlos ordered the Fortuna to approach the dock that separates the port of Palma from the sea, so that a group of brave reporters (who had lived several days under the sun, dreaming with the appearance of the royal family) could do their work. And finally there they were: the King, the Queen, the Prince, Doña Letizia, the Duke of Lugo, Infanta Elena, the Duke of Palma, Infanta Cristina and the grandchildren of the King, along with Victoria Lopez Quesada, the girl to whom Felipe de Marichalar and Juan Urdangarin directed their kicks, during the wedding of their uncles, the princes of Asturias. Besides, princess Irene of Greece, Cristina de Borbón Dos-Sicilias and her husband, Pedro Lopez Quesada completed the frame.

She's the daughter of Cristina de Bourbón Dos-Sicilias and Pedro Lopez-Quesada, the very same girl who was victim of the famous kicks of Felipe Froilán, during F&L's wedding...
By the way, Letizia is like honey for children... they all adore her!

The girl is Victoria Lopez Quesada, I did not know her until the year in the wedding, but she looks like a very affectionate and tender girl and seems that she has a very good relation with Letizia.

The Royal Family wants normality without resigning to the privileges

11 of August of 2005. The Spanish Royal Family has been able to be in the front sight by something as absurd as they are the vacations of summer. The participation of Prince Felipe in the Glass of the King of Candle has not raised to blisters between the authorities and the outstanding informers in Majorca. And everything by the desire of the parejita to enjoy to top of its last August without children.

Personally, the reason used by Princes de Asturias seems to me a hair seizure towards the rest of the citizens who take care by themselves of the care of their children in all the stations of the year. Of course, this one never will be the case of the heirs, that they will have to his disposition one cut of niñeras and assistants to take care of his future baby. Which will allow an absolute freedom of maneuver them in its periods of rest.

We lived at a time at which the Royals wishes to be normal people, but without resigning to its privileges. The princes and princess get up themselves to the labor world. Either as wage-earning or by own account. As in the case of Infants Elena and Cristina. Greater of the daughters of Don Juan the Carlos, in company of other partners, already a long time ago he opened a day-care center which they attend the children of the most seeded of the Madrilenian society. Nevertheless, the initiative of the wife of Marichalar almost forces to close the kindergarten in which first classes Froilán and Victoria Federica received his. And it is that, they want it or no, the Borbones marks to tendency and people pirra to follow their steps.

Infant Cristina works in the Caixa. Aside, the medium one of Reina Sofía has created a society with Iñaki Urdangarín, that after its abandonment of the professional handball does not give supply to attend the numerous advice of administration in which it participates. In addition, Iñaki has been postulated to be president of the HAMMOCK. Nevertheless, the attempt has run into with the refusal of some members of so prestigious organization, that they even got to denounce some orquestales maneuvers in the dark.

To who does not go to him nothing badly is to Jaime de Marichalar. The one that outside favorite son-in-law of Doña Sofía has become the man of confidence of Bernard Arnault, president of emporio LVMH. The Duke of Lugo arranges this work with his position of Cement advisor Portland Valderrivas. It is difficult to find out to how much they promote the monthly income of the son of the countess widow of Ripalda. What yes he is safe is that the Marichalar-Borbón family does not have problems to arrive at end of month.

Unlike other real houses, the Spanish does not have to render accounts of how she distributes near eight million euros that annually receive from the general budgets of the State. What does impossible to know what amount gives the sovereign to each one of its children. Although if we added what Cristina and Elena obtain in their deprived activities, with the number sent by his augusto father, we will reach the conclusion that its existence nothing has to do with the one of the rest of the mortals who work to pay invoices.

Without a doubt, having blue blood is not badly a business. So I do not see just the odd habit that has entered to them some Borbones spending east summer unnoticed. Prince Felipe, as soon as descries to the journalists, requests to them encarecidamente that they leave his Letizia peacefully. Apparently, the heirs have seted out not to exhibit themselves in public and persist in behaving like the normal pair that they are not, nor will be, no matter how hard they insist.

In addition, this conduct is causing more of an upheaval to the rest of its relatives. For example, Infant Cristina had to embark in the last day of the regatas to calm more than heated spirits than they run by the island. Reina already is until the cap of which they follow it during his strolls by Palm. To the point that has asked for the photographers who give a breathing him.

But who more gotten upset is with Princes de Asturias he is the King. His Majesty asked to his son and his daughter-in-law who did not leave Majorca until the nautical competition finalized. Nevertheless, the pair went the recommendation through its real lining and maintained course to a unknown place of which they have still not returned. At least while I write these lines.

How one notices that today it is a holiday largely of Spain, there are no images of television, the newspapers do not put articles, Hola's page! does not get up-to-date, Terra has not put anything either.

The Royal Family wants normality without resigning to the privileges

The whole royal family has already returned to Mallorca. What's the point then of feeding this over-worked polemic with old articles???

But who more gotten upset is with Princes de Asturias he is the King. His Majesty asked to his son and his daughter-in-law who did not leave Majorca until the nautical competition finalized. Nevertheless, the pair went the recommendation through its real lining and maintained course to a unknown place of which they have still not returned.

And may I ask how on earth does this person know that «His Majesty got upset with the Princes»? ​

Excellent photos! Finally the royal family is all together! I have the impression of that the infanta elena is moved away from her family, but do not perceive reason! It has some problem that moves away the infanta from her family?
