A New Beginning in the Spanish Royal Family
When Letizia Ortiz joined the Spanish royal family, she generated great excitement and also some disapproval due to her commoner origins and divorced past. The Spanish monarchy, rooted in centuries-old traditions, received this journalist turned princess with reservations. However, Letizia soon proved capable of responding to royal protocols and won the approval of many. In fact, her good taste when it comes to dressing has earned her the title of ‘influencer queen’.
Behind the Appearances
Behind the elegant facades and royal protocols, stories circulated that contrasted with the public image of the queen consort. Letizia was rumored to have a past in Mexico, where her taste for wine and tequila, her favorite drink, had led her to frequent parties that, according to some sources, often ended in excess. These rumors fueled gossip and concerns among the circles closest to the crown.
Rumors Persist
Despite efforts to leave that lifestyle behind, the rumors persisted. Testimonies from Mexico and sensational media have mentioned Letizia’s alleged hospital admission after excessive drinking. There is even talk of compromising photographs that, it was said, the royal house was quick to delete. These rumors have generated controversy and have been the subject of debate in different media.
A Personal Transformation
Today, Letizia claims to be teetotal and has opted for a life without alcohol in public, distancing herself from the excesses that once defined her. Her transformation is a testament to her determination and the support she received from her to overcome her personal struggles. Although some rumors persist, Letizia has demonstrated her ability to carry out her role as Queen Consort of Spain with elegance and dedication.
