Thank you very much for the photos. The Princes are marvellous and relaxed, to seeing if now the press already makes them a bit calm. I wait to see them in television.

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.

[Emily]

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.

[Roxsteve]

Thank you Emily for your reply. It must be difficult indeed to get together. Thanks again.

[Emily]

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.

Sardéu (Ribadesella), Pedro ZUAZUA

It was the confirmation of their summer stay in Asturias - the second one since they are married-, announced two days ago by the mass media. " Good evenings " were their first words.

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.
