Great pictures Anna! Thanks for sharing them. Nice to see Felipe and Letizia getting to spend part of the holidays with Felipe's sister and her family as well as Letizia's sister and her family.

Casa RealSus Majestades los Reyes, que estuvieron acompañados por Sus Altezas Reales los Príncipes de Asturias, han presidido en el Palacio Real de Madrid la tradicional celebración de la Pascua Militar. Don Juan Carlos, en sus palabras, hizo una llamada a la solidaridad con las víctimas en el maremoto del Sudeste Asiático, dedicó un emocionado homenaje a las víctimas del terrorismo, y reafirmó nuestra determinación para acabar definitivamente con esta lacra. Asimismo subrayó la importancia de la aprobación de la nueva Directiva de Defensa Nacional, recordó a los militares caídos en los quince años que nuestras Fuerzas Armadas llevan desarrollando misiones de paz y envió un especial recuerdo a quienes hoy se encuentran fuera de nuestras fronteras. Concluyó el Rey animando a seguir trabajando juntos todos los españoles para conseguir una España cada día mejor, dentro del marco de nuestra Constitución, a la que debemos "muchos años de armónica convivencia, de envidiable modernización y de avanzada articulación territorial", y que tiene un "incalculable valor para que España siga progresando unida, en democracia y libertad" .

Thanks Elsa. I see that all the women of the Spanish Royal Family looked wonderfully splendid there.

Queen Sofia is so elegant and princess Letizia is overwhelmingly beautiful! Red is definitely her colour! Infanta Cristina is lovely in that flattering dress too. Elena is also O.K, though I'm sorry she's always so apparently sad...

It's funny you say that about Infanta Elena--she always does look sad, but I think it's just her facial structure. She's said to have a wickedly wry sense of humour and to be more "campechano" (like her dad) then her siblings.
Am I the only one who thinks Infanta Cristina is very large for being only 4 months along?
Princess Letizia is so beautiful and Queen Sofia elegant as ever. The gentlemen all look elegant and sophisticated as well.
I can't wait to see the wireimage photos AnnaR will kindly and most certainly attach later on. There appear to be some very lovely images.
