"Though earlier this month Crown Princess Letizia was forced to cancel a number of appearances due to bothersome symptoms of her pregnancy, the 32-year-old former newsreader seemed to be feeling better as she resumed her official duties this weekend.

Letizia, who is expecting her first child with husband Prince Felipe in November, was – along with the heir to the throne – arguably the most popular visitor to Madrid's book fair on Friday. The charismatic princess was all smiles as she chatted with throngs of schoolchildren who were thrilled to have their photo snapped with the royal mum-to-be.

And on Sunday, Felipe and Letizia travelled to La Coruña, in northwestern Spain, along with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia. There, the crown princess assisted the royal family in marking the country's Armed Forces Day."

Un periodista del semanario alemán Bunte se acercó a departir en una recepción con los Príncipes de Asturias, durante su reciente viaje oficial a Baleares. Doña Letizia se dirigió a él en perfecto inglés, lo que motivó que el periodista alemán le hiciera un elogio, que la princesa de Asturias agradeció, pero no sin subrayar que su inglés no es tan bueno como el de su esposo: "El príncipe es totalmente bilingüe, ya que en la familia real se habla indistintamente el inglés y el castellano".

To Letizia it feels the pregnancy well to her (Diez Minutos)
Princess de Asturias has taken something of weight already, has the rellenita face més and begins to lose the line of her streamlined waist. To five months to become mother, Doña Letizia still uses her normal clothes. Sometimes only the néuseas force it to cancel her agenda.

The Princess already is in her forth month of pregnancy, but as soon as him note. It is truth that Doña Letizia has the redondita face més, but its figure continues being same, thin, the streamlined one. It has not reduced the heel of his shoes and although the clothes has left a little més fit it, still does not need to use dresses of I presucked. In fact, the past 25 of May, when the Assembly of the Enterprise Confederation of Madrid presided over with Don Felipe, in the Fairground Juan Carlos I, shone black trousers and a jaspeada jacket with which already we had seen it in another occasion.

Sometimes, it has mareos and it undergoes néuseas
On the following day, the pair presided over the concert that the Symphony orchestra of RTVE offered in Madrid in the occasion of the 40 anniversary of its Foundation. Princess de Asturias appeared with the waved and very handsome melena although she suffers the own annoyances of his state.
Letizia, nevertheless, is fulfilling its agenda, although sometimes, as it happened 29 of May the past, Day of the Armed Forces, must retire to rest minutes. The Kings and the Princes presided over the parade, that ran by the Marine Stroll of Corunna.
Después of the parade, the Kings offered a reception in the Palace Maria Pía. There, the real pair received a game of cradle of embroider of power groups for bebé that they hope. Days before, the 27 of May, flatteries overflowed to them during the inauguration of the Fair of Libro of Madrid.
The opening reunited to very many people eager to follow the route of the Princes by the 370 houses. His first shutdown was in the publication house of the Ministry of Culture, where minister Bald Carmen gave infantile gifts to them, the stories of Andersen, a book on illustrators of "the Quijote" and an edition facsimile of the magazine Poetry.
Among them, "Daily of my first year", "Stories of the Grimm brothers", "He is fécil to be parents", "Of the pregnancy to the first year", "My papé", or the "Larousse of bebé", a manual for primerizas mothers.



Bags full of books and gestures of affection
In the TVE house it received Carmen to them Cafarell, that gave a simpético to them "Lunni". The Princes chose to "Lupita" because "coletas més showy for bebés is", said. The Infantile School the Pitufos flattered to them with blue patucos and, in the house of the CAM, the pair it was entertained playing with a group of children of the Trabenco school of the Well.
También received other books, some were new features; others, auténticas jewels of Literature and many on "the Quijote", since both very are become fond of to the reading. Before leaving they asked if it had something, since the escorts filled a pile of bags with books. Anécdota of the day carried out Ricardo Peñalva, a man who obtained that seven times tightened the hand to him.Photos: Agencies and Ana Rui
