No one more glamorous than Letizia

And not because she was dressed in her best clothes, not because she was wearing the crown jewels or was made up and combed to attend a reception with ambassadors, but precisely the opposite. With striped shorts that might be in any teenager’s wardrobe, a stylish white t-shirt and espadrilles that enhanced her fabulous legs, no one would give her a day over thirty. Her last aesthetic touch-up on her cheekbones, the same one that Pedro Sánchez’s wife has done, was a plus: it gave her a lush and healthy appearance and allowed her to dispense (almost) with makeup. She smiled, her ponytail swayed from side to side like a metronome, she gesticulated, moved, dynamic and full of energy and, by contrast, her family walked with the slowness and solemnity of an Easter step! That morning there was no island of Mallorca a person more glamorous than our Queen!

‘The most chic queen’

And it is not only an appreciation of the Spaniards, but foreign journalists fall on their knees, ecstatic, before her. Gone are Máxima and her guffaws, the clumsy Kate, the Nordics and their unintelligent expressions, the Belgian and her appearance of a secular nun… “The most chic Queen” is called by the French magazine Paris Match, the Portuguese magazine Caras praises “ her toned and tanned legs”, the Daily Mail speaks of her “inimitable look” and the German magazine Bunte points out that Letizia is a fashion benchmark “both when she dresses up and when she walks around Palma with her daughters like any other tourist” . The Italian magazine Oggi indicates that the Queen “looks like a sister to her daughters.”

your private vacation

They will now be on their mystery vacation. Nobody knows where they have gone, it is almost certain that not even the most experienced paparazzi will be able to find them. And it is that Letizia learned to elaborate these secret itineraries from the teacher in these arts: Princess Corinna herself, who organized her honeymoon trip, where they went to 32 countries on three continents and nobody found out regarding her. That they carried ten suitcases, due to the changes in temperature! And fifteen security people! Later, Letizia has continued with her incognito trips and, consequently, hypotheses and false legends are unleashed every summer: a blurry photograph in Chichen Itzá caused the news that they had been there, every now and then someone had seen them in Finland, in Croatia , in luxury resorts, on the Turkish coast… Many times the fable was told that some Spaniards were eating anywhere in the world and suddenly a bottle of French champagne arrived at the table for the then princes of Asturias in exchange for not telling where they were. Rumors that have never been confirmed, because neither they nor anyone around them have released a pledge and if there is no photo, the news is not supported.

Letizia has given us a lot of material

Of course, when there is no information, imagination begins. They say that this summer they have been joined by Leonor’s ‘boyfriend’, that a great friend has lent them his boat so that they can get lost in the Aeolian Islands, departing from the port of Lipari… It’s hard to believe, since neither Neither Letizia nor her daughters love the sea, but since we don’t know for sure either, it is impossible both to confirm it and to refute it. Perhaps they are still in Mallorca. Although journalists should not complain regarding this desire for privacy, since the royal family, Letizia specifically, has given us a lot of material this summer to fill a multitude of magazines and programs.

queen’s challenges

When they return, great challenges await the Queen: the celebration of her 50th birthday on September 15, which is not yet known how it will be. And to form an increasingly demanding agenda, because year following year their activities multiply since Letizia has become the essential piece, the most visible image of the royal family. I suppose that the palace staff is aware that, if it weren’t for her, the interest of journalists in the whole family would diminish and therefore her presence in the media. No one would echo her movements, neither here nor abroad. As good a person as he is and as well as he performs his task, the King is not charismatic and does not arouse passions. Soon Felipe may say the same thing that US President John F. Kennedy had to admit during a visit to Paris: “I’m just the man who accompanies Jackie.” Time to time.
