The first depicts the 1964 wedding of then-Princess Sofia’s brother, King Constantine II of Greece, to Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. The second depicts the baptism of Sofia and Juan Carlos’s son, Prince Felipe. You can read more about the movie here.

Fernando Gil and Amaia Salamanca will reportedly reportedly play Spain’s Prince and Princess of Asturias in the movie “Felipe and Letizia” on Spanish television station Telecinco.
The movie will depict the couple’s early relationship, including the evening Prince Felipe first met divorced TV journalist Letizia Ortiz, their unexpected engagement in 2003, and their wedding in 2004.
Salamanca admits that it will be difficult to portray someone so well known, and says she hopes to contact Princess Letizia to get her point of view on her relationship with Prince Felipe.
Juanjo Puigcorbé and Marisa Paredes are set to play Prince Felipe’s parents, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía.

A two-part television miniseries about Queen Sofia, wife of the current king of Spain, is in the works. Tentatively titled "Sofía," it is expected to air next year on the Spanish TV network Antena 3.
The movie will reportedly cover Sofia's childhood and adolescence, her first meeting with then-Prince Juan Carlos (in England), their wedding in 1962, and the years leading up to 1975, when the Spanish monarchy was restored and Juan Carlos became king.
This will be the first movie about Queen Sofia, but there have been previous TV movies about King Juan Carlos, including 23-F: El Día Más Difícil del Rey ("February 23: The King's Most Difficult Day"), about an attempted coup, and Una Bala Para el Rey ("A Bullet for the King"), about a plot to kill the King.

Madrid’s Wax Museum has unveiled new wax figures of Spain’s Crown Prince Felipe and Crown Princess Letizia.
I don’t think this is a good likeness of Prince Felipe… what do you think? (First photo: wax figures; second photo: real couple. Both photos by Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images.)

In October I mentioned in a blog post that I didn’t like something Princess Letizia of Spain was wearing. But I don’t want it to appear that I was picking on the princess, who usually looks quite elegant. Here’s a photo that proves it (also taken in October):

I shouldn’t criticize because I’m not exactly the world’s best-dressed person myself, but I don’t like this outfit on Spain’s Princess Letizia. I think she looks like she’s wearing an over-sized clown suit. Your opinion?
(2010 update: I had to remove the photo from this blog post because it was causing technical problems, and I can no longer find it online — sorry! If I come across it, I will update this post again.)
