Princess Estelle shines in Sweden

Princess Estelle of Sweden - CASA REAL SWEDISH
Princess Estelle of Sweden - CASA REAL SWEDISH
Princess Estelle, second in line to the throne after his mother, Princess Victoria, is the star of one of the commemorative stamps to be issued this year to celebrate the seventieth birthday of his grandfather, King Carl XVI Gustaf Sweden , and the fortieth anniversary of the coronation of queen Silvia, who married the king in June 1976. the series of three stamps entitled Kunliga Jubileer (Jubilee Real) is the work of artist Daniel Bjugård and photographs have been made by Anna-Lenne Alhstrom.
In two of the stamps kings Carlos Gustavo and Silvia roost alone, while the third stamp shows the line of succession to the throne of Sweden, with Estelle smiling in the center of the image with her ​​mother Crown Princess Victoria and his grandfather, king Carl XVI Gustaf. It is, without doubt, one of the most symbolic gifts that little has received the fourth birthday last February 23 while their parents, Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling, eagerly awaiting the birth of her second child will arrive at world in the next two weeks. An event that seems to matter little to Estelle, because, as stated a few months ago Princess Victoria, what really want the girl is to have a hamster.

Family tradition

This is not the first time the image of Princess Estelle is reflected in a stamp of the royal family, because, c on just eighteen months, the princess was also involved in one of the philatelic series created on the occasion of the forty years in the throne of king Carl XVI Gustaf . On that occasion, the artist Mårten Gustafsson made ​​a portrait based on a photograph from a family album in which the same characters appeared with Estelle sitting on the knees of her mother, while her grandfather took her hand.
The Princess Leonor of Spain was also the protagonist of a stamp when he was nine years old. The issue, with a circulation of 310,000 stamps whose value was one euro, "Grand Prix" was titled and released last October with occasion of the first Princess of Asturias Awards since, for thirty-five years, the awards had been granted under the name Prince of Asturias. The daughter of kings appeared portrayed by the photographer Cristina García Rodero with a colorful floral dress on the merits of Campoamor Theater of Oviedo, stage where the ceremony is performed.
His father, King Philip VI also had nine years old when his photograph was used for the first time in a bell to be named heir to the throne of Spain in 1977. The label "Felipe de Borbon was titled. Prince of Asturias. Prince Felipe and Covadonga Basilica. " Its value was five pesetas and he showed the prince with the Basilica of Covadonga in the background and the coat of Asturias in the foreground.

Sarkozy does not pass the detector "black" literary

A Swiss scientist has developed a computer program that scans and detects the false authorship of books and university studies, revealing the quiet existence of ghostwriter, or "ghost writer"; ie, the "black" works for hire, and both the piece, for students, academics, politicians and authors of best sellers. The Swiss company OrphAnalytics already marketing this program, created by Claude-Alain Roten , a professor at the University of Lausanne.
The Haute Ecole de Suisse Occidentale Spécialisée (Hesso) has been one of the first institutions to use ingenuity Roten. The Vice Chancellor of the school, Yves Rey says the experience as follows: "Our goal was to find students who could pay for the writing of some of his work. The program works effectively. "
For its part, the Swiss Radio Television (RTS) has used the same method of detection with two authors and French politicians: the centrist François Bayrou and Nicolas Sarkozy , president of the Republic. And the results have been spectacular. Computer analysis of several books Bayrou easily recognized the unique authorship of these works, confirming a "style" . In published with great success under the signature of Nicolas Sarkozy "different styles" are detected.
The Swiss chain began analyzing the last book of Sarkozy, "France, pour la vie", which has sold more than 100,000 copies in just four weeks. In this work were, in addition to "various styles" recognized terms "of different sources" . Not satisfied with this first result, the RTS subjected to the same analysis to other books signed by the president. And the same result was obtained: all works consulted there are phrases , twists and "styles" of various authors .
Not without a blade of Swiss irony, Claude-Alain Roten, the creator of thesoftware, he says. "Our program does not provide incontrovertible evidence, but it can detect texts that we can describe as" suspicious " For Sarkozy ... each you can judge by yourself . "
A renowned editor, who prefers anonymity, told ABC that "this program already has been used successfully in several literary agencies . It was used, for example, to compare the four works of the "series Millenium ". Quickly detect the unit style of the first three novels written by Stieg Larsson Swedish and a dramatic difference in the style of the fourth and final, signed by David Lagercrantz. Agencies looking "black" to provide services to writers and politicians do not want to publish these stories. It would highlight what best sellers and great works have been written by " black ". "

Mireia Lalaguna refuses the invitation to the Oscars


At the end we can not see Mireia Lalaguna , first Spanish woman to be crowned Miss World on the red carpet at the Oscars on Sunday. The Catalan model had been invited to attend the gala in Los Angeles, but finally his agenda has been modified . It is the Miss World organization that decides where to go Mireia during their year of reign, and priority has been given to charitable commitments that arise every week around the globe. Miss World has as its slogan "beauty with a purpose" and therefore aims to decouple this event tinsel around other events of the same nature.
Since Be Miss Spain confirmed to ABC that Miss World had received the invitation to Mireia was present on the red carpet of the Dolby Theatre, although it was " a proposal more like others that are on the table ; for example, the Cannes Film Festival in May, whose attendance is not confirmed. " Although Mireia Lalaguna has been flattered at the prospect of going to the Oscars, it is clear on its purpose, " Spanish Being, is proud tobear the name of my country wherever you go , but I'm also aware that my work, during my reign, not only sticks to the red carpet, but focuses on humanitarian work to raise funds, and understand that priority be given to such events. "

Rest in Bali

As a representative of Miss World, Lalaguna attended this week to the end of Miss Indonesia 2016 , on Wednesday February 24 was held in Jakarta.Catalan, in addition to crown the new beauty queen of China, returned to coincide with her ​​friend Maria Harfanti , Miss Indonesia 2015 and ranked second in the Miss World contest, which exalted Mireia last December in Sanya (China ). The rest of the week has enjoyed a few days off in Bali, and next Wednesday will fly to Miami to continue with their agenda . It is pending a reception with US President Barack Obama and his wife at the White House.
Born in Barcelona, ​​it aims to finish the race of Pharmacy . The last course studied in the Kovenhavns University of Copenhagen . "I half year absence, but the finish, I do not know if within a year or ten , " said ABC months ago. Among his upcoming projects also include acting classes.Whenever the Miss World agenda allows, Lalaguna wants to continue linked to the world of fashion; She not in vain, began to march when he was 14 years old.
Mireia recognizes that now has to " take care twice ." Stress and long trips throughout the world make watch your diet more and practice more sport. Passionate tennis and paddle tennis, this year will have to sacrifice another of his great passions: go to Camp Nou to watch Barcelona play. By the way, it is tired of denying an alleged relationship with Neymar blaugrana.

Great ladies mourn the death of the Countess of Chinchon

It is difficult to speak of the Countess of Chinchon and not to allude to Goya canvas that dominates the room 37 of the Prado Museum . Oil, 216 by 144 centimeters, immortalizes Infanta Maria Teresa of Spain and Vallabriga , cousin of Carlos IV, Manuel Godoy consort and third Countess of Chinchon . A few days ago he died in Madrid Rosario Herbosch and Huidobro, the seventh countess. Unlike its predecessor, which attracts millions of tourists to the Prado, Rosario was a mystery to the masses .Not so for "society", which was part almost by divine right.
Actually, Rosario Herbosch and Huidobro was, by his marriage to Carlos Ruspoli and Morenés , Duchess of Alcudia, Duchess of Sueca, Countess of Chinchon and Grandee of Spain. But his friends say he had a special affection for the county because it was closely linked to a woman the likes ofInfanta Maria Teresa of Spain , who in turn received it from the hands of his brother, Louis de Bourbon , archbishop of Toledo and Seville Cardinal of Santa Maria della Scala.
Wedding Rosario and Carlos Ruspoli was worthy of kings. They married in 1980 in the palace of Infante Don Luis, this architectural gem that raised Ventura Rodriguez for the Infante Luis Antonio Jaime de Borbón and Farnesio in Boadilla del Monte and remained in the hands of the Ruspoli family, direct descendants of the "prince of the peace "until the 90s of last century.

Admired by all

Rosario, seventh Countess of Chinchon, was the soul of discretion. In his life only he gave an interview to ABC, in the 70s, to talk about what he knew best: the knowledge to be. "I would define as the beautiful elegant way to carry things, getting dressed with the right at all times" he said in a conversation with journalist Blanca Berasategui . "But are not the clothes that make people, but the opposite , " he added. According to the duchess twice, the secret of feminine grace lay "in the movements, gait, in the way they talk ." With that delicacy which she flaunted the admiration and friendship of great women on the national scene as socialites won Isabel Preysler and Cari Lapique , Princess Wanda de Ligne , the designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, the journalist and writer Marta Robles, to name a few.
Many of them came last February 8th Countess's funeral in the Sacramental of San Isidro, in the pantheon of the Dukes of Sueca. He was 72 years old and his death was unexpected. Despite its beauty and distinction, Herbosch never awakened envy among the great ladies with whom he shared evenings and confidences. It was always a guide to their peers females.They say those who knew that it was "the matriarch" between his three sisters: Bethlehem, Olivia and Carmen . And since he had no children, she was also a mother to her seven nephews.

Selling a box

Elegantly discreet, marriage Ruspoli-Herbosch knew to stay away from the spotlight for decades. Until in 1999 they decided to sell the famous painting "The Countess of Chinchon " of Francisco de Goya to a Spanish private collector who was ready to pay 4,000 million pesetas (more than 24 million euros) for this work previously wanted magnates like Armenian Calouste Gulbenkian or the heirs of American J. Paul Getty.
Being a piece category of Cultural Interest, the transaction was notified to the State, which had preemption. He exercised and the work ended up in the Prado. The delivery took place in February 2000. After three administrative lawsuits and administrative appeal, the Aznar government paid off the debt with the Ruspoli in two installments: 2,500 million pesetas (15,025,302.60 euros) in January 2001 and 1,500 million (9,015,181.56 euros) in July of that year.
The owners of "The Countess of Chinchon" (Ruspoli and his brothers) sued the State for the "no respect" conditions of sale of the work and the case went to the Strasbourg Court, which ruled that they had not been harmed with the operation. The statement recalled that the painting was exhibited in a gallery, with what "the general interest of society had been so privileged."And he noted that the plaintiffs "had not borne a disproportionate or undue burden" for the forced sale to the state. After all, Carlos Ruspoli still had to Rosario, his own Countess of Chinchon, who made her walk and talk art.

The discreet 'I do' Beltran Gomez-Acebo and Andrea Pascual

One of the most anticipated family bonds del Rey took place yesterday. The youngest son of the Infanta Dona Pilar, Beltran Gomez-Acebo , married his partner for seven years, Valencia Andrea Pascual . The first images of the link came about noon the two: the bride - accompanied by her mother, Mariel Vicens , and his father, Carlos Pascual , who was driving the car-, came to the residence of the sister of King Juan Carlos in Puerta de Hierro . There awaited them about thirty-five guests (all family and close friends), including King Emeritus.


Data were few knew until yesterday about this wedding, as the bride and groom have tried at all times to go unnoticed . Last Wednesday, the magazine "Hello!" Published the bride would go with a short white dress. Isabel Nunez, costume designer, declined to give any details about the dress this newspaper. As expected, the bride wore a simple but long dress , which combined with spectacular antique diamond earrings and sapphires, owned by her grandmother. Following the latest trends, Pascual opted for a long - sleeved suit. A draped sash dropped a minimally Glued skirt, which protruded a golden sandal.

Pregnancy rumors

Andrea will go very beautiful, she is very natural and has a very refined taste in dress ," sources told this newspaper Pascual environment this week. Although the wedding, as ABC reported over a month ago, was scheduled for spring, the couple has decided to bring forward the ceremony and not wait any longer to be the "yes I do". It was last week when they met the final date of the bond, so some relatives and close friends could not attend the celebration yesterday.
However, following the announcement date, an acquaintance of the bride said she might be pregnant three months. Pascual soon deny this week.Still, the favorite cousin of Don Felipe and his new - woman will soon become parents, something that has ceased to fall Pascual on occasion .
Within those thirty-five guests, the couple have not had Fiona Ferrer , exsocia Pascual, who this week confirmed that it was not invited to the wedding. According to friends of both, Ferrer is ' as a person' 'non grata' 'Andrea '. Not speak for a year, although they worked together in the modeling agency Elite Model and Concep2all, the communications agency that has the former Jaime Polanco Jr . In fact, Andrea and Beltran met in 2009 at the wedding of Fiona and Jaime in Tenerife. After working together for years, they undertook separate professional and personal paths.
Sources close to Gómez-Acebo have commented that the couple could organize a party next summer, the summer residence in the Pascual family has in Cala Deia, Mallorca .
