More Famous People

So, we are back from our trip to Paris. We had a nice time. More on that later.

What we wanted to tell our readers about today is that on Saturday we went to the Corte Inglés with Barbara and Sindo to buy gifts for our grandparents. And while we were strolling up and down the aisles looking at cute tops, guess who came walking past with her two bodyguards? (Maybe we should tell you which Corte Inglés we were at, too. It was the one on Serrano, which is Madrid's equivalent of 5th avenue.)

So, maybe you didn't guess it. We wouldn't have: it was the Infanta Elena. Eldest sister of Felipe, Prince of Asturias and future heir of the (mostly symbolic) Spanish throne. She had her characteristic ponytail and look of quiet determination. And she was much taller than we expected.

Isn't that interesting?


That's her on the left, in a photo we took at her wedding. They had the best butler passed hors d'oeuvres.
