King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia visited the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on the occasion of Saint James' Day and there, attended the traditional ceremony to pay tribute to the memory of the Apostle Santiago or St James.
On July 25, Saint James' Day (Santiago Apostol), many Spanish people celebrate the life and deeds of James. Saint James' Day is a public holiday in the Basque Country and Galicia.
July 25 is also Galicia Day, which is fitting as St. James is the patron saint of Galicia as well as Spain. The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is the burial-place of Saint James the Great, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ.
Queen Letizia wore a Mer dress by Vogana. Princess Leonor wore the fashion brand Cayro's Yasmin dress. Infanta Sofia wore a Genevieve dress by Bruna.
We are struck by the passage of time through the growth of children. These two princesses, little girls not so long ago, have now blossomed into young women. All dressed beautifully in different colors which give a nice contrast to each other.
ReplyDeleteI agree a 100%!
DeleteWhat a perfect royal family.!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours !!
ReplyDeleteUn día precioso, ver a toda la familia junta en Santiago de Compostela es un regalo. Todos se ven muy bien, colores alegres y veraniegos y calor en la Catedral. Las 3 usaron abanicos y Leonor daba aire cariñosamente a su padre. Imágenes preciosas. Las siguientes ya serán en Mallorca.
ReplyDeleteBellas ! Están tan alegres , da gusto verlas !
DeleteLeonor is very beautiful. But somehow she looks almost chubby in that dress.
ReplyDelete@21:49, there is absolutely nothing “ chubby” about Leonor’s figure, she looks healthy and well proportioned, not every woman has a tiny waist as Letizia does.
DeleteI often read comments about the queen being too thin and all kinds of speculations, then here comes the daughter and because she has a different body type, the chubby whispers start… please stop such ridiculous nonsense.
They all look great, Leonor’s dress is very original and trendy, and the queen looks fantastic as usual.

DeleteAgree, Leonor is very beautiful. This dress is all wrong.
Seriously? What a messed up psyche and world where that is considered chubby. Those are 2 beautiful (and I remind, growing, not yet adult) young ladies. This family looks beautiful, I appreciate how individual taste is beginning to show. Love the dresses.
DeleteChel
Goodness, the girl is not chubby and does not look chubby either.
DeleteThen the comment below of the girls being "bigger" than Letizia...
It will not be fun or comfortable for these girls to always be compared to their extremely thin mother and unfortunately it's already becoming obvious at such a young age. It's bad enough even for adult women, but for teenage girls to have their bodies watched so closely and commented upon... it's terrible.
As so often when we see royal teenage girls featured here, there are adults commenting on the bodies of perfectly healthy teenage girls in development! They do not need to look exactly like their mother, yes, they have got their own body types and body shape and it is all fine. They are beautiful girls!!
Thank you, Cherry!! Yes, 99,9% of women have got a waist wider than Letizia! So what? It is not a bad thing!
As Chel said a messed up psyche , very messed yes
DeleteOh my, a big NO to Leonor's dress. It's too old for her, it's too high & tight at the waist. The "flaps" don't hang properly. Her shoes don't even seem appropriate for her age. What a shame that since Leonor & Sofía are "bigger" than tiny Letizia, they won't be able to fit into their mom's great array of clothes. Other than that, these two girls are all of a sudden nearly adults; I love seeing them out & about. *Regina
ReplyDeleteFlaps? Leonor is wearing heels? Who of them are you speaking about? Tiny Letizia? 1,70 tall...
DeleteLOL.. Duchess of Cambridge is 1,75...Amalia of the Netherlands, 1,82 and so on in Europe....Models are even 1,85.....the Next??
And this is very polite? Really??...LOL
I like Leonor's dress. There is a time you cannot hide anymore that little girls are becoming young ladies. That time is there for Leonor and soon Sofia will look very childish with her ballerina's and short dresses.
DeleteLenor is 16 going on 17 so low kitten heels are ok. I agree the dress is a little old for her. Sofia’s dress is lovely and appropriate for her age
DeleteJ
Letizia isnt 1.70, she is just something more than 1.60. She uses several tips to look taller, such as heels, bright colors, very straight posture... But she isnt 170, and i hope no one will feel offended!!
Delete@07:28: When I said "flaps" I meant the "wings" on her dress (I don't know what they're called), they don't look right. I simply do not care for Leonor's shoes. And Leonor's top is too tight. My opinion. We all have opinions/comments.
DeleteWhen I said Letizia is "tiny" I was referring to her size & her thinness, not her height. Her daughters might not fit into her "tiny" dresses, because Letizia's dresses fit her own "tiny" figure to a T, there is no wiggle room. LOL
Seriously! Good-bye all!
*Regina
Anon 11:29... Letizia is 1,70 and I have seen her in person, her husband is almost 2 metres, 1,97...because of that she wears heels...
Delete1,60??? LOL...have you seen her in Sweden , she was taller than men....and other women wore heels too.
Anonymous 11.29 it seems you have always been talking about height and orthopedic shoes lately on this blog.
DeleteSounds like you are very interested in the two points
@Anon15:33 - a good thing too, that keeps 'em from the discussion about hair;-)) Siv
DeleteAnonymous 17.26, no,YOU (not them. Leave others aside, please) must have a personal interest when talking about height, weight and orthopedic shoes.
DeleteEl vestido de la Reina Letizia es Vogana, el de la Princesa Leonor es de Cayro Woman y el de la Infanta Sofía es de Bruna.
ReplyDeleteWhile I like all the dresses, my favourite is the striking red and pink dress worn by Princess Leonor. However, while I like the dress I agree with Regina that it does not suit the wearer. For some reason it makes this slender girl look much bigger than she is and double the width of her mother. Someone more skilled in design than I might be able to explain why this is so as vertical lines should be slimming.
ReplyDeleteLeonor got a handmedown form her granny?
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with that?Siv
DeleteI love Q. Letizia's dress, the bodice and neckline is very appealing to me. Very chic, stylish and elegant. The accessories look good and on point. The young Royal ladies are showing their individual tastes. Its lovely to see there closeness, and how they support each other. They have been brought up beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI colori dei vestiti sembrano litigare tra loro, il colpo d'occhio non mi piace escluso il delicato celeste di Sofìa. L' abito scelto da Leonore non le dona e non è adatto ad una ragazza, deve trovare un suo stile e invece mi sembra che calchi molto quello della madre. In quanto a Letizia mi piacerebbe che ogni tanto sia meno rigida nell'incedere, quel passo marziale e quel viso in alto la rendono altezzosa. Felipe è sempre top, un piacere vederlo con la sua famiglia.
ReplyDeleteSono totalmente d’accordo
DeleteLeonor's dress, I don't think would look good on anyone. It just a horrid colour and shape. Sofia looks wonderful. Jj2
ReplyDelete100% Agree.
DeleteTrès jolies ; quel plaisir de les voir toutes les trois dans des couleurs vives parfaites pour la période estivale !
ReplyDeleteI think Leonor is wearing a bulletproof vest under her dress!
ReplyDeleteAgree, thats the impression....
DeleteI think you could be right something looks odd, the dress doesn't help, it looks to tight in the top part and the colours don't go together. Debbie.
DeleteAll 3 ladies look stylish & pretty, although I don't care for the neckline on Letizia's orange dress, it curves up too high on the neck and looks like it is smothering her. The contrast between the 2 girls is becoming noticeable, now that Leonor is dressing like a young lady wearing make-up and heels and Sofia is still dressing like a girl in flats. Even in flats she is taller than both her mother and her sister, she will one day be a beautiful woman, she seems also to be a sympathetic support for her sister, heartwarming to see. S.M.
ReplyDeleteEach of the three ladies dressed in a colorful way, according to their own choice, I guess. My top two are the queen and Sofia. Leonor is probably searching her new style. I like the colors but less the design, and I find it too long.
ReplyDeleteEs un acto institucional y como tal se debe vestir formal. Las tres cumplen con el cometido .Leonor con un corte a la moda. Letizia con el color del año y Sofía de acuerdo a su edad.
ReplyDeleteI love Leonor's dress and I think she looks amazing in it
ReplyDeleteNo more little girls. I like Leonore's dress it is different, she looks very grown up. Sofia is getting there. josebabe
ReplyDeleteI love Leonor's dress, I'd wear it myself! Very fun and fashionable, yet appropriate and elegant at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteLeonor's dress is better suited to an older person. The faux sleeve or whatever the inserts are create a triangular shape at the top, and the voluminous skirts add kilos to her figure. It seems that she chose elements of her mother's style (Letizia owns a Carolina sheath in black and white in this design) but it comes off as too brightly colored and fussy.
ReplyDeleteThe color of the Infanta's dress is too muted. Her dress also has element of her mother style (navy Cortana). She is a lovely girl and being styled for her age is appropriate. But a brighter color even in the same style would have looked prettier.
@ Angela. This is a blog about fashion which was totally ignored in Letizia's case. Haughty etc. is just another way of framing her as an upstart with commoner roots. This, from another commoner who knows how 'royal' should be done better than the actual royals. Perhaps this comment will read better on 'that other forum'.

She has put weight in the UK, food is not so healthy, however she Will be as the Borbones, all of them are tall. Felipe's sisters are very tall..

Anonymous 10.33 now you have weighed Leonor
DeleteWeight issues too on your part?
Letizia is 1,70...the Girls Will be taller as her sisters, Who are about 1,80....
ReplyDeleteFelipe is 1,97, taller than everybody, here we hace very "clever" people without any knowledge...
Anon 11:29, Doña Letizia can't be 1,60...her husband is 1,97 , she would reach his knees...here we have the silly of the day...
ReplyDeleteHere come the offended by letizia real heigth: of course she is 170, with heels, stomach in and chin out... Anyway, whatever she is tall or not, that doesnt make her a better or a worse queen.
DeleteBelieve what you like.
But try to keep adjectives (silly) for yourself.
Anonymous maybe you have a height complex?
DeleteLOL...oyen "silly" y se dan por aludidas...LOL...
DeleteAnon..10:29..Believe?? Do you think that Letizia lives in other planet?? Almost everybody can see her in Madrid, even shopping. Then in Palma de Mallorca or in every parte of the country..
DeleteAnon 11:49...maybe you have that complex? "Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta".
Anonymous has measured Queen Letizia, fancy that
ReplyDeleteActually in Spain, mainly Madrid, It is very normal to ser her at restaurants, movies, etc ..she is not shut in a "Palace"
DeleteLet's sum up the story, sista or anonymous 14.11:you are used to seeing Queen Letizia on a regular basis in Madrid, you speak Spanish so well, oh yes , almost forgetting you are a Spaniard.
DeleteAND you measure Letizia ,you weigh Leonor, you seem so keen on King Felipe BUT you hate the English and their royals uhm please carry on with the story.
Cracking up, sista
Anonymous 14.11
Delete* Cracking me up, sista
Letizia was a journalist working in the public Spanish TV for many years and known by almost everybody in Spain, a Spaniard who has attended University, a Máster,etc.so known since ages ago and famous too. Obviously not in other countries. When she got married Felipe, she was more famous than Jim and got more money.
DeleteAlright sista anonymous 18.34, now you have definitely shown you don't get a word of English in the bloggers' comments including mine.
DeleteSo you hate English as a language too😂😂😂.
Q.Letizia is fluent in English and Leonor is studying in England as well.
Did you know that?
* Leonor is studying in Wales
Delete¡Madre mía!, Pero si Letizia era la presentadora de las noticias hace 20 años y reportera de la guerra de Irak y de los ataques del 11M. Por supuesto todos sus compañeros periodistas la conocen y en otros ámbitos. No es una persona que haya aparecido de la nada en España ó que venga de otro país. Y además se sabe hasta a qué cine van y qué restaurante y dónde queda con sus amigas, que mantiene amistad con sus amigas de toda la vida.
ReplyDeleteAlma.
Pues si, Letizia acude a eventos entre 3 y 4 veces por semana y vista, colegios, hospitales, entrega premios, en diferentes regiones del país así que muchas personas incluso han sido abrazadas por ella, no es la típica reina lejana que sale llena de joyas una vez al mes.
ReplyDeleteAdemás siempre le ha gustado hacer una vida normal y salir como una más, lo que no le gustan es precisamente los saraos de palacio. Así que pese a quien le pese, en este país la vemos en persona.
Mujer trabajadora como ninguna, ni siquiera los antimonarquicos pueden decir lo contrario.
Alma
Sista anonymous Alma, give some rest to your boiling translator, please.
DeleteYes, we know you speak Spanish so well😂😂
Sista is doing it again. Better not to react anymore on all the things she is saying. She is probably waiting to read the reactions of all the bloggers she is
ReplyDeleteattacking. She continued on the comments of yesterday and not only about Queen Letizia.
