Royal birthday in Barcelona

ISABEL CLARÓS - 30/04/2006 BARCELONA

Miguel Urdangarin will not forget his fourth anniversary. The third son of the dukes of Palm was the protagonist of a party in which besides his brothers and friends of his class also the princes of Asturias were, with their daughter the infanta Leonor, who was travelling for the first time to Barcelona, and his cousins Froilán and Victoria. The Prince is besides the godfather of Miguel's baptism. To the party only there were absent the dukes of Lugo and the Kings, that they were in Stockholm invited to the feasts of the king Carlos Gustavo of Sweden, for his 60. º birthday.

Miguel´s bitrhday is today today, but the party was celebrated yesterday because the dukes of Palm represent to the final of the Trophy Count of Godó of tennis. At five o'clock in the afternoon the first guests came. They were his cousins on paternal part and some companions of the college. A bit later the princes of Asturias came with their small Leonor, accompanied by two children of the infanta Elena. There was no doubt that the children werepassing it to in big in the garden of the new residence of the family of the infanta Cristina. From the street there were heard the shouts and the laughs of children and of adults. It was evident that there they were playing all and that it was a question of a party familar, in that besides the dukes of Palm were useful to show the new house to their brothers and brothers-in-law.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the dukes of Palm and the princes of Asturias went out to the street and went to a very nearby square to be left to come out in photographs for the reporters who knew that they were taking a good moment waiting at the edge of the house. The first one in appearing was Iñaki Urdangarin with his son Pablo and his niece Victoria of the hand. Then they went out Juan, Froilán and Miguel, the honoured one, with a shield and a sword of wood, and the infanta Cristina was closing the group with her daughter Irene in arms; his brother, the prince Felipe, with the infanta Leonor also in arms, and dona Letizia. The children expired to the perfection with the obligation of the put one photographic, in spite of the fact that they one was noticing that they wanted to finish promptly to continue with their games.

Dona Letizia did not stop doing caresses to her daughter, though also she was very dependent on her two old nephews. Once finished the photographic session, Juan Urdangarin and his cousin Froilán worked out shot towards the house, whereas Miguel was not giving up his sword and was continuing with his imaginary combat.

[lucys]

What a surprise to see these photos. And how nice of them to come out and pose for a moment. Thanks!

 

[Alexandria]

Thank you for the wonderful pictures lula! I love the plastic sword and shield Miguel has!

It's nice to see that Uncle Felipe and Aunt Letizia with cousin Leonor came to Barcelona to celebrate Miguel's birthday with him.

looks like they all dressed up in matching colours.
i like Letizia's jacket & her combination with jeans.

I noticed the matching colour palette, too!

I also really like Letizia's outfit, and noticed that Cristina was pulling off a similar look though it was much more casual with just a black shirt. Guess the two sister-in-laws must be getting fashion tips from each other!

The Princes, of birthday in Barcelona

Miguel Urdangarín de Borbón, third son of the Dukes of Palm, celebrated Saturday their four birthday, surrounded by the affection of his family and his friends. The small one, host of the first celebration that Infant Cristina and her husband celebrate in their new house of the luxurious Barcelonian district of Pedralbes, received a very special visit, the one of his cousin Infant Leonor. Miguel was very moved by the presence of smallest and her parents, Princes de Asturias, who next to their nephews Victoria Federica and Felipe Juan Froilán, children of Dukes de Lugo, were transferred to the new house of the Urdangarín-Borbón family.

it's just me or Cristina seems to be everywhere these days?

I believe that it is a your thing.

Though it is true that in the last weeks has had more acts, also it is true that her displacements are more short. Both acts of this week have been in Catalonia. Possibly later have a period with fewer activity, they are in the habit of doing always it. Besides, each Infanta is in the habit of having activities with a few institutions or with a class of certain acts. Cristina lives in Barcelona and because of it the Godo delivers, Elena lives in Madrid and she delivered the Open of Madrid.

 

[LaChicaMadrilena]

Yes, and maybe casa real is giving more activities to Cristina due to the fact that Elena is moving to the new flat and doesn't have enough time. She didn't even go to Barcelona with her kids to celebrate Miguel's birthday

Wat do mean exactly ? If it's to notice that she has some more official acts than than usual, I don't think it is because if you observe her official activities some time she has a lot during a month and nothing after a month too.

But if you say she is everywhere because in the same time she is doing her official job, she is moving to her new house ...and she is making a party for the birthday's son, yes she is everywhere

Thank you all for great job!

These kids are so cute.

Looks like Irene is starting to walk, since in these pictures whe looks like she wants to go to the floor.

And Leonor - wow - she seems always so alert. I wouldn't like (yes I would) to be on the same room when these two cousins start walking and running together .

And Victoria is getting more beautifull day after day - she will be very graceful when she grows up...

Someone was misbehaving at this time ... dad is angry... mum with that look... Uncle thinking "There you go Iñaki show who's the boss"... Froilan ready to deffend his best pal... and Aunt Letizia with that smile that only aunts and grandmas (and Victoria) have when we are in trouble...

Priceless pic!
