[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.

Infanta Elena of Spain reaches out to help Colombians in need after floods







King Juan Carlos I's older daughter, Infanta Elena traveled last week to Colombia. She presented a donation of $200,000 (more than 140,000 euros) for victims of terrible floods due to heavy rain in the country and visited a home for children with cancer during her trip to Bogota as a Director of Social and Cultural Projects MAPFRE Foundation.
The Infanta, the MAPFRE Foundation and the Spanish royal family could not forget to reach out to Colombia in these difficult times. The Duchess of Lugo arrived at the capital, Bogota, last May 12th as with Fernando Garrido, director of the Institute of Social Action, to bring hope to the Latin American country. There have been rumours in the Iberian country that Elena and Fernando have been dating for a little while.

Infanta Elena did a lot during her small trip: she paid a visit to the Dharma Foundation - hey... did you just think about the series Lost here? - a home for children with cancer, had a meeting with the President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos and his wife, María Clemencia Rodríguez, at the Palacio de Nariño. The princess gave the Colombian president, in the presence of First Lady, a donation of $ 200,000 (about 140,000 euros) under the Humanitarian Colombia campaign, which aims to raise funds for victims of the floods.

Upon receipt of resources, María Clemencia appreciated the support that the Infanta has always provided the country, especially in difficult times that Colombia has faced as a result of climate change. "Doña Elena, once again, thank you very much. Thank you very much because we feel your continuing solidarity in difficult times in Colombia, "said the wife of President Santos.

[Spain] Infanta Elena transmits her daughter Victoria Federica her passion for horseback riding

The King and Queen of Spain's eldest daughter finished number 14 out of 30 participants in a test for the Global Champions Tour of Valencia. Infanta Elena is spending her weekend following one of her greatest passions: horseback riding. She participated in amateur tests for the third edition of the Global Champions Tour (GCT) which started in Valencia on Thursday and will be ending this Sunday.
After competing last week in the National Contest of Badajoz, the Infanta arrived yesterday to the city of Turia with her ​​daughter Doña Victoria Federica who has inherited her mother's passion for horses.  But this time, unlike last September in the Madrid equestrian competition, we could not see her horseback riding. The Duchess of Lugo's daughter chose to go and pamper the horse that competed with Infanta Elena instead.
The arrival in Valencia of Doña Elena was scheduled for Saturday. At eleven o'clock the eldest daughter of the King had participated in a test of the competition, two-star category, with progressive difficulties and obstacles of 1.25 meters. The Princess has 53 points and finished in 81.15 seconds after Qantas, her horse, touched the fourth obstacle and refused to jump the eighth.
Elena was one of the last amazon to leave the track for this Trophy City of Arts and Sciences. Nevertheless, she finally managed to finish in 14th among a total of 30 participants. The winner of the test was the young Catalan rider Charles Villarrubia (65 points, 45.13 seconds).
After the competition, Infanta Elena left her role as a rider to enjoy another of her life pleasures: being a mother as she and her daughter showed a lot of affection in each others arms. 
The last time Infanta Elena was publicly seen with her two children was last Christmas. Her son, Don Felipe is studying in a boarding school in England but coinciding with school holidays, Felipe often travels back to Madrid.







At age 47, Elena has an amazing figure, doesn't she?
