Spanish Royal Calendar

[Little_star]

Thanks for the info, Clara.

It's good to see Felipe attending lectures and seminars like this one. IMO it's important and vital for his preparation to become king that he be kept fully up to date and informed on all current affairs/political conflicts that arise.

I just think it's a shame Letizia wasn't there too as IMO it's probably right up her street.

They certainly do know how to work for their Country

You're welcome LS. It was actually a private event that doesn't appear at the official agenda, an article on the seminar mentions his attendance. I thought it was very interesting so I added it here  

[Little_star]

Thanks, Clara.

So will we be seeing tiaras at the ready on Monday night? Is the Tel Aviv University event on the 11th linked to their trip to Israel?

[Clara]

Yes, we'll see tiaras tomorrow, probably nothing too exiciting, the floral and the prussian imo.
The royal agenda explains the Tel Aviv University has chosen Spain to hold their international annual conference, but doesn't mention why Felipe and Letizia are meeting with them. Because this is not a cause/organization easily recognised as a certain Spanish Royal's interest, anyone could have received them. IMO it's them because of their trip to Israel.

[Little_star]

Thanks Clara. 

I really like the floral tiara so I hope it makes an appearance tonight.

Cristina has 2 acts in a row- she'll need a lie-down after this!

She's obviously in Spain, so she takes advantage of the situation and fulfills some official duties.
