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.

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.
