"But the Princes come today", a tourist of Zaragoza asked the journalists who were on duty in Sardéu. Nobody could respond to him with certainty. And what knew they? What one had published in Asturian newspapers and some testimony of neighbors of the zone. "they have slept here surely, but they have gone away very early". The only image that related to Don Felipe and Doña Letizia yesterday to Sardéu was the one of escorts keeping suitcases in a car. That happened shortly before the 9 in the morning and caused speculations related to the state of the Princess, embarrassed of six months. Sources of the Real House confirmed the NEW SPAIN that "absolutely did not know" where were Don Felipe and Doña Letizia.

Of the house of the paternal grandmother of the Princess it was not seen leave to anybody, although some of the tourists who approached to visit it and dared to watch after crystals affirmed that there was people, somebody said, even, that it had seen an pregnant woman that it looked like to him. The marriage formed by Víctor Moya and Joaquin Valdeolivas and another pair of friends, Jordi Carrera and Roser Magrans, - all Catalans arrived in the morning at Sardéu on the 11,30. He was first of the three days that will happen in Asturias, with lodging in Cangas de Onís. His first visit went to Sardéu because to Víctor and Roser, partners in a company, they had liked to be paparazzi and frequently make routes in search of famous. Their objective, in Asturias, is Princess Letizia and Laura Ponte. They arrived at Sardéu asking and it was not difficult to find it to them. The four roamed for more than half an hour by the house. As much they approached that, according to they later told to the journalists, left Menchu Alvarez the Valley and, very serious, requested to them that they circulated, that was working and needed something of tranquillity.

They heard set of dishes noises and they saw several cardboards of Toblerone in the sweepings. To first hour of afternoon, the sun warmed up strong. The journalists continued waiting. The only newness that took place once in a while was the arrival or the march of an agent of the Civil Guard. Nor shade of the escorts. To six of afternoon, they began to pass the caballistas of the Litri, proprietor of a picadero of the environs, and the guests of the rural houses of the zone. Also it arrived the owner of the cows and some villager. A little later, appeared two pairs of Zaragoza. They remained in the car, perhaps demonstrating that they were they interested them. Without he picks of timidity, they they approached the house and they spoke with the Civil Guard, who, according to they affirmed, he allowed them to approach and to roam "because you expensive of good people have". "There was people", said. And they added: "It is necessary to recognize that the views are precious". First time of the night, Princes de Asturias followed hair nets. Somebody, not without humor, commented that probably not even they had slept in Sardéu.

Thank you so much for all those great pictures. The princes always look happy and relax everytime they are in Asturias, seems like a nice place to spend your vacations :) .

I just cant imagine how letizia is gonna look in november, she is only six month pregnant and her tummy is already very big.
 
nice photos! she looks beautiful with that casual outfit...
i just saw a video on the spanish television in GENTE and was going to say but you are all too quick for me and already posted the images!
it's a pity they couldn't stay for long as they can't really be with letizia's family much.

i wonder why she needed such a bid purse for a walk through the mountain?

I did not understand very well it of the purse either, but apparently the walk was brief around they give the house, when they returned to house they caught the car and went away, so I believe that they went out of house to go away and on having seen the journalists decided to bring over up to where they were in order that they were doing the photos. In the images of television also one saw that she was taking the jacket in the hand.
 
I believe someone posted that Princess Letizia cannot spend time with her family, is she not allowed? Does her mother, sisters or other relatives visit her at all? Does she ever visit her mother at home? Thanks for your input. I am just curious about someone's comments. Thanks again.
 
Hi Roxsteve and welcome to the forum! In answer to your questions, Princess Letizia can and does spend time with her family both at her mother's home and at her own home near the Zarzuela Palace. For example, at Christmas last year there was mention of her mother and maternal grandparents joining the Royal Family at their Christmas celebrations at the Zarzuela, she has visited her mother for her birthday, etc. My guess is that Letizia is seeing how difficult it is (due to press and security interests) for her to make private visits, so I imagine they are less than would otherwise be. We can only guess at the visits her family makes to her new home but they seem quite close so I'd imagine they do get together.
 
Thank you Emily for your reply. It must be difficult indeed to get together. Thanks again.
 
Yes, I think the press and security make it hard, but this duo also keeps a very punishing work schedule which would make it hard for anyone to see them! But, as you'll see, from time to time there are photos of them with her family.

Don Philip and dona Letizia came to the house of the paternal grandmother of the Princess on night of last Saturday, according to unofficial sources, but they were not left to see up to yesterday.

They happily left the house, talking with each other with glimpsing smiles and faces of tranquillity. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia, who remained hidden from the cameras since Saturday night, were seen in Sardéu, the town where she spent so many summers and where her grandmother, Menchu Alvarez del Valle, lives. The Prince of Asturias knows pretty well the beauty the place, and for that reason he yesterday wanted to stroll in company of the Asturian journalist, who took him there for the first time, shortly after November 2003, when they became publicly engaged.

At 1:05 in the afternoon, the couple left the house of La Arquera, where her grandmother lives, and approached the zone where they were awaited by the journalists, so that they could take their photo. Among complicity gestures, the Prince held the hand of his pregnant wife and then put it on her shoulders. The Princess was dressed in jeans and a white shirt, while he was taking a khaki shorts and a cream polo shirt; both were smiling. "Good afternoon" was the concise greeting of the Prince, who left the journalists, after posing for a few minutes, with a "so long".

After the photos were finally taken, they both walked together until 3:00 p.m., when they returned to the house in which they were awaited by Menchu Alvarez del Valle, who has seen her house turning into a sort of advertisement for Ribadesella, since her granddaughter became the Princess of Asturias.
