[Spain] Spanish Royal family together (exception to Infanta Cristina's family) to attend Cirque du Soleil

Victoria and Felipe with their mother, Infanta Elena, Infantas Leonor and Sofia holding hands with Queen Sofia and the Prince and Princess of Asturias. What a united front! People missing, obviously: the King (but he usually does not attend this type of event) and Infanta Cristina's family.

If the coat Infanta Elena is wearing is front Zara, I own one just like that.

Princess Letizia looked dazzling and stylish with her leather and fur coat. I hope it's a faux, though.

[Spain] Prince and Princess of Asturias mourn with families after earthquake

The Prince and Princess of Asturias comforted relatives of nine people killed in Spain's deadliest earthquakes in more than 50 years, hugging them and shaking their hands Friday as the royals slowly made their way along a long row of mourners.

Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia bent down to chat with the mourners at a crowded funeral Mass celebrated in a trade center, part of which has been turned into a makeshift refugee camp after two quakes Wednesday left many homeless in the southeastern agricultural city of Lorca.

Many of those in the front row at the Mass wore dark glasses. At one point, the prince stooped down to speak to a boy and affectionately ruffled the child's dark hair.
