Origins and Royal Trajectories
Kate Middleton, known as the Princess of Wales and wife of Prince William, heir to the British throne, was born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton into a middle-class family in England. On the other hand, Letizia Ortiz, now queen of Spain, also comes from a middle-class family. Before her marriage to then-Prince Felipe VI, Letizia was a well-known journalist in Spain. Her transition from public life to royalty was followed with great interest by the media, and today, Letizia is known for her impeccable style and dedication to various social causes.
Relationship and Public Meetings
Despite their similar backgrounds and prominent roles in their respective royal families, Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia have displayed a notably frosty relationship. The few times they have met at official events, a lack of chemistry between the two has been evident. In various public appearances, it has been observed how the two royals have ignored each other, which has led to speculation about a possible rivalry. This behavior has fueled the perception that there is not a good relationship between them.
Public Perception and Speculation
The press has largely contributed to fueling these rumors of enmity between the two royals. The media often highlights the differences in style and approach between the two, sometimes suggesting that there is an implicit competition. Furthermore, the two royals’ priorities and approaches to their roles also differ significantly, which has led to the perception that, despite their similar origins, they are completely incompatible.
