Doña Letizia and the long and prosperous path of her: from journalist a queen of Spain
Is it one of the most famous women in the world, but how is it: real or realistic?
The royal couple formed by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia was the center of attention last month due to his wedding anniversary. It's been 17 years old since your wedding, but the media ensure that the couple continues to make romantic night getaways, hiding in the last ranks of theaters.
The marriage of Felipe and Letizia will always be a great discussion topic, but today we want to pay attention to the life of Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, the young journalist who fell in love with the heir prince and exceeded bearent circumstances for the Spanish crown, like being a woman of Non-real origin, divorced, which had undergone illegal abortion and had appeared in striking photos in magazines.
That's how she was: a normal girl, with an ambitious race and with her own principles. And just in a professional act in Galicia, the young woman she met the Prince of Spain, Felipe. Her love story began with a joke over the farm that was moving Felipe, located next to the Parent's Palace of Him. Speaking of the annoyance that he supposed to move, the heir joked commenting that the whole floor of Letizia would fit in one of the bedrooms of his new house.
A normal and very applied girl
Letizia Ortiz was born on September 15, 1972 in the Asturian town of Oviedo, from which he came from her father. She had two small sisters: telma, who was born in 1973, and érika, who was born in 1975 but that tragically died in 2007.
The girls went to school that had opposite the house of it and then attended ballet and music classes. The future queen she pulled out good grades, especially on humanitarian issues, but with the numbers she was not doing so well. Supposedly, from that moment he learned that Letizia will dedicate the future of it to the world of letters.
The future queen she developed a very early interest in journalism, since her father and her grandmother worked in this area. At 10 years old, Letizia constantly went to the work of her father, in the programThe swingAntena 3, and helped him prepare the program. She also visited her grandmother at the local radio station of Oviedo. The Queen has a degree in Information Science, Branch Journalism, by the Complutense University of Madrid and she has a master's degree of audiovisual journalism by the Institute of Audiovisual Journalism Studies.
It was precisely her's career that led her to know her future husband with real roots and to change her life completely. For a long time, Felipe hid his relationship with Letizia not only face to the press, but also before his family, because he understood that his parents, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía, would not be delighted with the candidacy of a girl from the town and with a divorce behind him.
Of civil marriage to royalty
Letizia fell in love for the first time at sixteen of Alonso Guerrero Pérez, professor of literature from the University of Extremadura. They lived happy in a civil marriage for ten long years, but when they officially formalized the relationship, they realized that love had vanished and separated a year later.
Despite all the prejudices of the family, the love between the young woman and the prince convinced the whole country about her serious intentions. The commitment of Letizia and Prince Felipe was announced on November 6, 2003 at the Royal Palace of El Pardo. That day, both engagement gifts were exchanged: Letizia received a white golden ring from her promised with a diamond dispersion, and Felipe became the owner of sapphire twins. It was then when they made their feelings known.
The wedding ceremony of Philip and Letizia took place on May 22, 2004. The couple got married at the Cathedral of Santa María La Real de la Almudena de Madrid. Letizia married an unusual-cut cream dress from Manuel Pertagaz and a bouquet of white lilies in her hands. The same queen Sofía, who personally approved the union of her, put the platinum tiara to the daughter-in-law with a flash of diamonds.
In June 2014, King Juan Carlos I unexpectedly abdicated the throne, which caused Felipe and Letizia to become king and queen of Spain. Since then, the severity of the official image of it became more significant, and the princess had to apply the 10 years of experience of her living within the royal family. However, the young queen of Spain continues to escape from her palace in jeans and t-shirt to go to the theater, the gym or shopping by mango and Zara.
