Letizia’s passion for books
Queen Letizia, after participating in Armed Forces Day with her husband, has an event marked in red that excites her even more: the Madrid Book Fair. This literary event is one of the monarch’s favorites, who feels at ease surrounded by her books, visiting the different stops and taking home copies given to her by editors and authors. It is not unusual for some writers to want the queen to have some of her works on her bedside table, and even hope that she will recommend them.
Last year’s absence
Last year, Letizia could not attend the Book Fair due to the regional and municipal elections that were held on that same date. However, this year she is eager to enjoy this important literary event again.
A special presentation
However, there is one presentation in particular that Letizia has no intention of attending. It turns out that her brother-in-law, Robert Gavin Bonnar, will present his novel ‘The Fourth Estate’ at the Madrid Book Fair. Although Letizia and her brother-in-law have always had a good relationship, the queen has expressed some fear that the content of the book could be used against her or against the Royal House. For this reason, Letizia has decided not to coincide with her brother-in-law on this special day for him.
Felipe’s enthusiasm
Meanwhile, her husband Felipe has a different attitude. According to sources close to the Royal Family, Felipe maintains a good relationship with his brother-in-law and sees the presentation of the book as something interesting and fun. Although Letizia does not share her husband’s enthusiasm, the king and queen have already had the opportunity to leaf through Gavin Bonnar’s novel, which has generated some concerns in Letizia about the content of the book.
The Madrid Book Fair: an anticipated event
The Madrid Book Fair is a highly anticipated event in the Spanish capital. During this event, reading lovers have the opportunity to discover new works, meet their favorite authors and immerse themselves in the world of literature. Although Letizia will not be present at the presentation of her brother-in-law’s book, she will surely enjoy her visit to the fair, surrounded by books and with the excitement of discovering new stories.
