Little Star, as I understand it the Palace of Marivent is on loan to the Spanish Royal Family for 99 years. I believe King JC "negotiated" this arrangement near the beginning of his reign -- although someone on this list might be able to give more specific details. Anyway, the "Palace" is actually a complex and on it's grounds contains houses for each of the royal children, with the Princes of Asturias having the second grandest house of the complex for their use.

Thank you for the pictures of the farewell dinner fanletizia! :)
I think that every year Cristina gets better and better looking every time I see her. Last year I thought she looked great, but now with the birth of her daughter and her family complete now, Cristina looks even more radiant and absolutely happy and at peace (not that she looked unhapy before).
Cristina reminds me of Sofia in this respect -- the Queen just gets better and better looking and more graceful and elegant each year. This summer, as someone else has already mentioned, has really been the summer of Sofia. She was obviously at her happiest surrounded by her grandchildren, playing with Cristina's sons on the boat, escorting Irene on her first outing in Palma Mallorca, and surrounded by her children.
Laetizia has a habit which I really dislike- pointing at things with her index finger. I find it so rude. She did it again in one of the pics.
totally agree. she really needs to work on that...
wow! infanta elena was definetely stunning in her pink outfit! it really looks wonderful: fresh, elegant and suitable for a summer almost autumn event. imo, she is by far the best dressed woman of the royal family. letizia looked also fresh in her pre-mum dress. really lovely and a good idea to choose something with a detail in the neckline, not just a plain dress. the queen seems to choose practically every year the same kind of suits to attend the official events in palma...
i would be really grateful if anyone could tell me who designed elena's, letizia's and cristina's outfits :) thanks in advance...

The Royal Family goes out to sail in the 'Fortuna'' with the small Irene Urdangarín
One more day, the Royal Family went out yesterday in the yacht 'Fortune' from Porto Pi ready to enjoy a new day in Majorcan waters.
The Queen dona Sofía was the first one in coming in her car, to the one that followed Iñaki Urdangarín's vehicle, accompanied of the infanta Cristina and of their children. Later, don Jaime de Marichalar and dona Elena de Borbón appeared with the children. Finally, it was possible to see the princes of Asturias in a car led by don Felipe de Borbón.
Since it is habitual, the King don Juan Carlos handled the helm of the 'Fortuna'' to extract it of the port, image that repeated itself to the return of the yacht to Porto Pi. After holding the ship up, the Royal Family returned to take their cars. To her return, dona Letizia Ortiz was leading the black Seat León and the prince of Asturias was going in the seat of the co-pilot. The rest of the couples also exchanged their roles to the steering wheel.
In this occasion, also accompanied the Royal Family the small Irene, daughter of the dukes of Palm. A right-hand person caught her in arms and mounted with her in the part of behind of a vehicle, where several were accompanying them you escort.

I think Cristinas dress is from Jesus del Pozo, it looks like his style, but I cant find it in his collection, lovely collection though http://www.madridfashionshows.com/sp...ozo/photos.htm
I dont know who made Letizias dress but whoever did it should do more for her, its much better tailored than some of the other pregnancy clothes she has worn.
The reception offered by the Royal Family to the political, military and judicial authorities of the Islands concludes the vacations in Mallorca. During eight minutes, twenty authorities of the Balears greeted the monarchs, who were spending the summer in the Island, since the end of July.
Inside the Palace, the Kings, the Princes of Asturias, the Dukes of Lugo and the Dukes of Palma greeted their guests, among them the president of the Balearic Govern, Jaume Matas. During the photo shoot, the reporters did not get tired of catching photos of Letizia and her future baby, while the Princes, who have just spent one week of vacations in the Principality, were chatting with infanta Elena.
The menu was made of a salad tempered with Mallorcan prawns with green vegetables. As second plate there was suprema de lubina con hinojo selvaje. For dessert, there was pie of chocolate with mint cream. The wines served were a Mallorcan white and a red wine from Rioja.
