Thanks Paty for this charming pic.

Question for the specialists of the body language: what the Prince is trying to say at the Princess? Very difficult answer.

I'm trying to find the answer:

Felipe: " Yes, you are right Cristina is very naughty girl, I shall going to tell her!" or " Yes, I know my father is a little bit rouhg and rude, but it's a good guy!" or " darling I prefere your jacket of today rather these whithout long sleeves of the last day" or " you know, sweetie, in bikini you look pretty good, yes I can assure you, pretty good!!"

If the specialists of body language, a very exact science as you know, want to try...

Spain has lost, a pity... These boys are a marvellous group in the sports thing and as persons, it is sad to see them like that.

The Princes have delivered the medals to the Russian team, and later they have greeted and consoled the boys of the Spanish team.

they look quite dissappointed in one of the pictures... how expressive!

i think so. here's the information of the casa real. it mentions it is an "official dinner", although i recall gala dinners are usually marked as such in the official webpage, but it might just be a mistake. they usually offer gala dinners to foreign presidents, though.

EDIT: after checking, they note gala dinners as such, so contrary to normal practise, this will be just a dinner, unfortunately. i would have loved to see letizia in gala again at the royal palace. it's quite a while since we don't see her at a dinner for a president - since the russian state visit, i think.

It's an official dinner for an official visit, but not a gala dinner for visit of chief of state.

I went to Polfoto to see if they had any images from the basketball game and found they had posted some images from Friday's oath ceremony at the Guardia Real -- I don't think they have been posted before, if any one is interested.

And it's worse because it's only a half point difference, Russia 60 & Spain 59. Had the game extended by a minute or five, they would have a chance for that golden trophy, could have tied it with a free throw Anyway, did Felipe award them with silver medals too?

Letizia looks great today. I love it when she mixes black with white instead of just wearing all white or all black.

Letizia has a great sense of humor.
