What a mess! Good they have just told in television that finally the Prince has come today to Palm, but only, and he has come to midday I imagine that because of it there are no his photos, because he was not in the exit. Letizia has remained in Madrid, not that have counted of the birthday of her grandfather, but I imagine that she has remained because tomorrow they have to be in Guadalajara and for her trip was too much. It seems that finally Saturday will come to Palm.
