I just posted a thumbnail over on that photo/thread ... they were in attendance, as the photograph proves, so all the strange anger spilt out at them for their absence was nonsense.

You are right about their presence, there is a picture of the guests on the silver wedding thread and the Prince and Princess were there. For the moment the picture is very small, not much to see, but we'll see better ones for sure.

I would add that ANY anger split on Princes or anyone else is so sad. But what can we do :). I'm glad they were there... what can you tell us about that tiny pic?... or I could go to the thread .

Thank you for sharing lucys :).

Has Felipe ever served in any of the three branches? Air Force, Army or Navy? He seems to wear or have in his closet every uniform--has he earned it? Has he been to training? Has he served in the army? Has he been deployed anywhere?
