she expected Nadal to shake her hand but instead he kissed her!

Wow, I am falling in love with this family more and more. Cristina and Inaki are still so much in love and I think that's great especially coming from a country with a 50% divorce rate. Thanks for everyone who posted pictures. I'm trying to find out more info about them. Do Cristina and Inaki have other jobs besides their official duties and if they do what are they? Do they receive an allowance from the state? And does Inaki perform royal duties on his own? Thanks a lot!

 

[crisiñaki]

Infanta Cristina in 1984, went to read Political Science at the Complutense University of Madrid, graduating in 1989. In 1990, she studied for a Master's degree in International Relations at New York University and is currently the Director of Social Welfare at the La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, where she lives.

Iñaki is currently an Independent Director of Motorpress Ibérica and Lecturer at the Business Policy Department at ESADE (the same school where he got his Master's degree in Business Training and Auditing, as a Development consultant, a B.Sc. in Business Administration and Management, and a Master's degree in Business Administration), he also used to be a professional handball player, he was the captain of the Barcelona and Spanish teams and won several Spanish and European Championships as well as two bronze medals in the Olympics of 1996 and 2000 when he retired. He doesn't do Royal acts alone but always go to sports celebrations and was (I don't know if he still is) a member of the Prince of Asturias Sports Award's Comitee.

Hope this answer your doubts

The King receives allowance from the state and divides it along his family, though it's said that neither Elena and Cristina with their families receive that because they and their husbands work and get a lot of money, I don't know if that's true.

I don't like Cristina's hair in recent pictures. It looks too long and has a strange ragged cut. She should change it, she's a good looking woman.
