Thanks everyone for the pics and the articles.:)

Btw, Letizia looks definitely good and Iñaki too! He looks great in that white clothes, without the tie and the "formal" look. It's a shame that Infanta Cristina didn't attend the Breitling Party, maybe she prefered to be with little Irene.

Hi, Isabella! Cristina attended the party, but she arrived lately, at 11 p.m. (perhaps she had to feed Irene before the dinner).

When you are father you will eat eggs. That will refrán is first that came to me at the top to the knowledge that the King competed this year in the Transpac class, whereas his son, Don Felipe, he remained in the one of sailboats IMS, who are more modest.

But here you have that the Prince, without to have still gotten to be father - although on the way to be one- he was elevated yesterday, to the front of the CAM, in champion of his class in the ' XI Regata Breitling', that these days has been disputed in Majorcan waters. The King, however, was sixth in his. And this could give rise to another one will refrán: more bond to be mouse head that lion tail. But better we shut up ourselves that to anybody it likes to lose and to the patterns of boats less.

Usually they say that the children are born with a bread under the arm - he must of being to grease eggs and in the case of Don Felipe his boy or girl, before being born, has brought him good luck in the regata.

I was Saturday at night having supper to few meters of Felipe and Letizia in the castle of San Carlos, in front of the bay of Palm. And, yes, before they ask me it, I will say to them that also close by one they sees very accomplices and enamored. The one of contentments nor I mention it because it would be to fall in the obviedad. In their present circumstances, like for not being it...

The Princess to the natural one is that: very natural "All this has given you", she asked spontaneous to him the Prince when he showed victorious his trophies to her. It gave me to think that it must be very difficult to get used to living simultaneously with all the glances nailed in you. Mainly the feminine ones, that good we are when we put ourselves. That a thing is putting yourself before a television camera and to suspect that there is much people waching at you to the other side and very different other to be always like on a scene, just as an actress to whom the director of the work, instead of a text to memorizar, had issued an order to him: I know at any moment perfect.

Many stars of Hollywood that eat the screen, outside her, succumb to that pressure. But I suppose that the form to bear it is to be yourself, because as sang Milanese Pablo: "and in the present, what it concerns people to you?, if it is that they are always going to speak... "

Those that always is perfect are the three children of infant Cristina. Yesterday, next to their mother and her grandmother, Reina, followed the regata from a boat. Seeing them so in its point I thought about the handsome that they must being the hens that put the eggs that eat these children.
