The controversial past of Queen Letícia
The report delivered by the National Intelligence Center (CNI) to Juan Carlos I revealed a surprising incident related to Queen Letícia, long before she entered the Zarzuela. Despite her current position, Letícia had an atypical youth, experiencing and discovering things that would not be expected of a future queen. Her actions, which include controversial episodes, do not conform to the expected behavior of a member of royalty, such as Princess Eleanor.
Doubts about Leticia’s suitability as queen
When Letícia joined the Royal House, Joan Carlos and Sofia had serious doubts about her suitability for the role of future queen. The choice of his son Philip as the husband of a divorced commoner, with a controversial past and a humble origin, was not in the plans of the kings emeritus. John Charles I expressed reluctance, hoping that his son would marry someone of higher social status.
Investigation of Letícia by the CNI
John Charles I ordered the CNI to investigate Letícia in order to have her under control. On several occasions, the CNI discovered episodes of the consort that were contained in a report to the then King of Spain. One of these episodes was related to the consumption of drugs, a fact that was revealed by a journalist in his book ‘Letizia Ortiz: a republican in the court of Juan Carlos I’.
The bohemian and wild past of Letícia
Leticia’s bohemian and wild past includes episodes such as her active sex life and alleged drug use during her student years, as well as a relationship with a teacher, Alonso Guerrero. According to the journalist Isidre Cunill, Letícia was arrested for possession of hashish during this time. This drug incident could have led Leticia to face prison terms and significant fines, according to Spanish law.
