A shared problem
The lives of Carolina of Monaco and Letizia Ortiz, Queen Consort of Spain, seem to be linked by an invisible thread that goes beyond royalty. Both women, icons of elegance and beauty, have experienced one of the most visible consequences of stress: hair loss. In Carolina’s case, the alopecia became evident at the beginning of the 90s. The Princess of Monaco, always impeccable and sophisticated, began to show sparse areas in her hair.
Carolina of Monaco: a life marked by stress
Although the cause was never officially confirmed, the pink press and experts did not hesitate to attribute it to the turbulent period in her personal life, marked by the death of her husband, and Italian industrialist Stefano Casiraghi, in a off-shore accident in the bay of Monte Carlo on October 3, 1990. As Mujer Hoy recalls on its website, the couple had three children, they had not been able to marry in the church, because they had not managed the annulment of her first marriage to Philippe Junot, and it was only eight years since her mother’s death in a traffic accident.
Letizia Ortiz: the stress of life in the Spanish Crown
Years later, Letizia Ortiz seems to be traveling on a similar path. The Queen Consort of Spain has experienced noticeable hair loss in recent months, as well as significant weight loss. While rumors about the origin of this problem have not been long in coming, some point to stress as the main factor. The recent scandal of infidelity in her marriage with her ex-brother-in-law Jaime del Burgo, would have raised considerably the queen’s anxiety levels, triggering hair loss. To disguise the alopecia, Letizia has resorted to hairpieces and extensions, a common practice among celebrities who seek to maintain a flawless image. However, the fragility of her hair has become increasingly evident, which has generated a wave of comments and speculation in the Spanish press.
Stress alopecia: A condition that affects many people
It may be noted that stress alopecia, also known as telogen effluvium, is a condition that affects men and women equally. It is characterized by excessive hair loss, usually diffuse and temporary. Although not medically serious, it can have a significant impact on the self-esteem and quality of life of people who suffer from it. In the case of Carolina de Monaco and Letizia Ortiz, hair loss became a tangible reflection of the pressures and difficulties they have faced in their personal lives. Beyond aesthetics, stress alopecia reminds us of the fragility of human beings and the need to take care of our mental health.
The complicated moment of Letizia Ortiz
The consort is currently not living her best moment in the Spanish Crown, and it is that after Jaime del Burgo assured through some publications on his X account (formerly Twitter), that he had had an affair with Letizia before and after for her to marry Felipe, everything has fallen apart. This controversy hit the Queen at her media prime, so it has affected her health in several ways. Letizia looks visibly thinner because according to Pilar Eyre herself, she eats little, and now she is starting to lose her hair due to the stress she is experiencing.
