Yeah, that was so funny and unexpected! I think that the Queen was very surprised when the boy asked her about her age, but she took it easy.

Very far they had to telephone to the Monarch after the tragedy. Its cinegetic liking has given him more of a headache. Reason why he hunts and... by the people with those who he hunts.


20 de septiembre de 2005.
For the Real House the initiate course will not be one more. This autumn is going to be born the awaited heir, the first son of prince Don Felipe and his wife, Doña Letizia Ortiz, happy event that will agree in addition with the thirty anniversary to the arrival to the throne of Don Juan Carlos . So propitious events will serve without a doubt to make forget the inopportune summery desliz of the monarch.

Probably his escape had not extended of not taking place the tragic accident that summoned up the life of seventeen Spanish soldiers in Afghanistan. Nevertheless, the certain thing is that the calls to inform to His Majesty of so unfortunate event and that his presence in the funerales was required had to become to distant Bostwana, African state where is allowed the hunting of elephants. Well-known it is the liking of Don Juan Carlos by the hunting of great mammals, but lately he tries to make it with the greater one of the possible discreciones, since the received pieces not very often turn out to be protected species and they have already given rise to some parliamentary question.

In the mentioned occasion, and according they tell to Deep Throat always reliable sources, his Majesty hunted elephants next to one of his more controversial friends of hunting, Alberto Alcocer, to alter ego Alberto Cortina, the famous ones and rich cousins Albertos who hope an indulto so they not have to enter in prison by the denominated Urbanor case. Although, sure it is so strong that it is difficult to believe by reliable are the sources.

It is that it's so showy not being able to more! Who had said it: brutote Alcocer in the amical heart of the Monarch! Of being so they will take to reason those that warn, time and time again, that Alcocer is the man closest today to the Zarzuela, the companion of francachelas, the guardian of the secrets, the financial advisor, the inevitable colleague of gun. It cannot be!

A 'teachers' with wreath

The tour yesterday of the Kings Juan Carlos and Sofia for the classrooms of the college Fernando Navarro Artiles of Port of the Rosario gave for much. The monarches did not limit themselves to observing as mere spectators, but they got squarely in the classes, shared moments with the children and got even into the kitchen, literally.

After the shallow reading of the messages written in a plank at the entry of the college, the Kings already had an approximate idea of what they could find inside. Between these notes, was standing out that of Hillay Joseica Hernández Peña, who was asking them " to there be more colleges and construct fewer hotels and that they do not construct opposite to the sea and in the natural spaces ".

Already in the classrooms, the Kings left any established by protocol inflexibility and sat down even together with the children to help them with their duties or to listen to the song that they they dedicated in the Classroom of Music, first to don Juan Carlos and then, on initiative of the regional counselor of Education, Isaac Godoy, to dona Sofía. The select topic was The rate presser, which did the delights of so illustrious spectators. An Argentine girl also had the gesture of ordering a greeting for the Princess of Asturias, dona Leticia, " because she is pregnancy ", I prepare for that the Queen was grateful with a wide smile. Uruguayan, Argentinians, Chinamen, Colombians, Galicians, Andalusians and " of here ", as the children were saying majoreros when the Kings were asking them about their origin. The Queen returned the nice one to a small Galician " since you are of another end of Spain! ".
And it is that dona Sofía proved to be specially nearby and sensitive with the children. Not uselessly, besides the nearness to the airport and other reasons, this center was chosen opposite to an Institute of Secondary that also fought, because there is of all known the great affectibility that the Queen shows always with the smallest children, since it was the case of these pupils of Infantile and Primary. One lived another culminating moment of the day in the English class. The monarches did not have any disadvantage in sitting down to solving with the small ones the soups of letters and other exercises that in this moment were trying to resolve.
This way, the King, for example, corrected one "I" "find" and he found a kitchen in the jumble of letters of a lad, then to admit without mufflers that it was a complicated enough task, for satisfaction of the child, certainly. The Queen demonstrated her happiness for the endowment that she found in the Classroom of Computer science of the Fernando Navarro Artiles and was amazed by the facility that the children demonstrated in the managing of the computers. Now then, also she commented whom they her were surrounding that her worry was that ultimately they ended up by replacing the books with the computers and, especially, with the control in the access to Internet of the minors, especially when they were in the college or in house.
Dona Sofía dared to put even up to the kitchen, where the workers who in this moment were preparing a pottage of vegetables for the luncheon of the children gave him to try with pleasure a bit. The Queen celebrated the flavor of the content of the soup spoonful that nicely they stretched him. And it is that the normality was the general keynote with which the center lived through the more historical day since it was inaugurated two years ago. Already the director warned it in the last days. The routine of the children was not going to be altered, except in the indispensable thing.
