Letizia, una mujer real

Letizia Ortiz has been the fundamental piece to give continuity to the dynastic link of the Crown in Spain. Wife of the current king and mother of the future queen, her role has been plagued by numerous headlines, some in favor and others against. Behind her image, always in the spotlight, a woman of today can be glimpsed, worried about the problems of the world and her country, but also about the most everyday situations, among them, the harsh relationship with her in-laws, her obsession with image perfection, her misgivings about preserving privacy... But above all, Letizia is a mother who is always attentive to her daughters, a confident wife, focused on issues of solidarity, who knows very closely what happens on the street and continues to maintain the journalistic nose of his profession. And although she did not grow up in a palace or with the nobility, today she has become a key player on the board of this institution. In these pages, Carmen Duerto, the well-known journalist who writes about monarchies to try to understand them, reviews the eighteen years she has been in the royal family and reveals to us, coinciding with her fiftieth birthday, the most unknown and relevant aspects of the woman who hides behind the Queen.
