Calm in May Letizia already will be incorporated into her official activities. I imagine that how Letizia was not forthwith of today they not name her . It happens sometimes that only they name the Prince, when the news is not completely official or are still without confirming, but at these trips always Letizia is present. To where I do not believe that she comes it is to Bolivia and Honduras next week. But probably in February already rejoin.

Only I have good memory. I have read several times on the matter of the trip to Israel. It was going to be now in January, but due to the close elections and Israel's problems it has been late. Here you have another news on the same topic.

Besides, Letizia always has been very interested in the problem of Israel and Palestina. In an interview, they were asking her that which was the news that she would like to give and she was answering that the peace in those territories. She has been in the zone, and her sister Thelma was in Palestine with Doctors without Borders. I do not believe that Letizia wants to get lost this trip.

The Prince travels to Latin America while dona Letizia reaches her maternal fall

Don Felipe will resume his trips to Latin America to be present at the capture of possession of the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, next January 22. He will take advantage of his stay in the new continent to visit, besides, El Salvador and Honduras. As it was confirmed yesterday, dona Letizia will not accompany him in this periplus since she will be useful, at least, a few months more to devote herself for point to her daughter, to the one that gives the breast since she was born.
With these trips don Felipe recaptures the intense activity that from always has linked him to the Latin-American countries, since he has been present at all the captures of possession of chiefs of State. The last time that the Prince of Asturias visited this zone was, together with the Princess of Asturias, in an intense trip that took Brazil and Uruguay to them.
This one will be the first time that don Felipe goes out abroad since she was born his first-born and the first time that separates of her and of hiswife. It will be nearly a time to the wait of which the Princess of Asturias returns to add to her official agenda and to accompany him in the institutional acts.
Until the 22nd of this month, for the Prince he waits for a tight list of acts that begin next Tuesday with several hearings, as well as a meeting with the Patronage of the Foundation don Juan de Borbón.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This article is a bit contradictory in Letizia's topic, says that " she reaches her fall " and later that continue dealing with the girl some months .... it is a contradiction, gives me the impression of which where it says months it should say weeks. The normal thing would be that for February already she was rejoining. Already we will see. After seeing the images of the baptism it gives me the impression from which the Prince is going to go on the whole week given to the telephone.:p

Ends of this week, the prince Felipe will travel to Latin America to be present at the captures of possession of the elect presidents of Bolivia and Honduras, and between one and other one he will realize a brief visit to El Salvador. This displacement will prevent that don Felipe could come to the baptism of the first-born one of the princes inheritors of Denmark, which will take place in Copenhagen next Saturday, the 21st. Don Felipe is one of the godfathers of the child, but he has excused his presence due to his trip to Bolivia. For years, the Prince represents to the Spanish State in the captures of possession of the Latin-American presidents, since one of the aims of the exterior Spanish politics is the unconditional support to the democratic processes of that zone, punished for years with totalitarian governments. Dona Letizia will not accompany him in the displacement, but there is foreseen that does it in the next trip, which will take the capital of Bulgaria as a destiny.

Normally when it is a question of monarchies and of the Chief of State it is normal that is sent to a high representation. Also it depends on the relation with the country, as geographical situation Spain has more relation with the Arabic countries, and the King always has had good enough relation with these monarches. In this case it is the emir of Kuwait, last year the Prince went to the funeral of the Chief of United Arab Emirates.
The King went to the funeral of the King Fahd, in his case, because the King Fahd was very linked to Spain, he had a palace in Marbella, was spending there his vacations and was leaving a lot of money and was giving work to many people.

The 27th is the change of Government, but the normal thing is that the day before the Prince meets personally the President. Besides, in this type of trips the Prince gets together with the Spanish who live in these countries and sometimes he visits projects of cooperation that Spain has in these countries. I would not be surprised that the Prince was visiting any project of those who have developed there after the torrential rains that affected these countries. Normally these trips take advantage to the maximum, the trip between Spain and America is long, because of it 22 and 27 have introduced the visit to El Salvador between both political acts. Last year already they joined the Official Visit to Brazil and the capture of possession of Uruguay.

The Prince Felipe will visit the country

The prince Felipe de Borbón will do a visit of comity next January 23 to the President of the Republic, Elías Antonio Extracts, as reported yesterday sources of the Spanish Royal Household.

And it is that the inheritor to the Spanish wreath could not be present at the acts of capture of possession of the Salvadorian agent chief executive, in June, 2004, for being in his honeymoon, after his wedding with Letizia Ortíz.

Felipe de Borbón will come to San Salvador proceeding from Bolivia, where on Sunday, the 22nd he will be present at the investiture of Evo Morales, the first elect aborigen as president of this Andean country.

After his visit to our country, Felipe will go day 25 to the Honduras neighbor, for the taking of possession of Manuel Zelaya, whose investiture will be celebrated the 27 of January. From 1996, Felipe represents the Spanish State in the takings of possession of the presidents of Latin America, reason why surely the prince of Asturias will attend in March the investiture of Michelle Bachelet, just elect agent chief executive of Chile.
