[Paty]

I Agree with you cristiñaki, it´s seems a really postcard... but it would be better if people were not behind the Princess !

 

[Abicla]

They seem so relaxed and happy, like this is the type of activity they enjoy the most!! Thanks for the pictures

 

[highpriestess]

Thanks for all the pictures. I like Letizia's outfit on both days, but I can't believe she wore high heels to the national park.

Did she really wear heels? I didn't notice that. She looks much smaller next to giant Felipe than during "normal" acts. Anyway, she had been there before so she probably knew that heels are not the best option for such ocasion

 

[Kelly]

Yes! she barely reaches his shoulders.

That outfit was extraordinary and really appropiate for the ocation. I agree with the fact that she should not wear heels to the National Park; however, the heels were perfectly combined with the rest of the outfit. Also she knows that she is short compared to her husband, thus, she always wear heels to try to seem a little taller at his side.

Yes, the princess did wear heels to the park, although not as high as we are used to see her in

If she wants to wear highheel boots to the park I say go for it. She looked great as usual.

Does anyone have any information on their trip to Israel? I think it was supposed to be after the elections. I'm really interested in this particular trip. I had heard that Prince Felipe would speak to the Knesset. Is that true? Thanks for any information you might have.

There is no news. Normally the agendas are given on Friday of every week not before. Some news can filter, if how in this case one speaks from the embassy or from the organism that organizes the act, but the exact agendas of each week are given every Friday.
