The three times Letizia has been caught in a bikini

Queen Letizia usually leaves nothing to improvisation, especially when it comes to her looks like and everything related to his image. The monarch studies each of her outfits down to the millimeter and always tries to be perfect at all the public events she attends. The Spanish royals close ties when it comes to enjoying Spain’s beaches, trying not to be hounded by photographers. However, in August 2007, the late photographer Antonio Catalán took control of one of the most sought-after images of the summer season: Letizia Ortiz in bikini enjoys her vacation.

magazine HELLO! He published the coveted image where we saw Don Felipe’s wife sailing the high seas in a bikini. the then Princess of Asturias wore a white bikini and she seemed to be sitting on the prow of the Fortuna, the yacht of the Spanish royal family, talking animatedly to her mother-in-law, Queen Sofía, who appeared in a red bathing suit. The aforementioned magazine bought six photos taken from a great distance, in a bay on the island of Cabrera, a restricted area due to its high environmental value and also controlled by the military. In one of the photos, the then princess of Asturias wore diving goggles.

At that time there was talk of a payment by the magazine of 300,000 euros for the six images. Over the years is perhaps the most notable of those photos the complicity that seems to exist between Doña Letizia and Queen Sofía. In 2011, another camera managed to fool the royal family’s security team. On this occasion, there was talk of a prize of 150,000 euros as only King Felipe’s wife appeared. Also this summer was the magazine HELLO! the one who brought the images to light. The monarch showed up in a strapless floral bikini and a raffia hat to protect herself from the sun. Queen Letizia takes good care of her skin, and although she always has an enviable tan, she avoids sunbathing and resorts to creams that give a more natural complexion.

It would happen again three years later. On this occasion, the photos were taken on the Greek island of Antiparos during the private vacation of the royal family. The family enjoyed a cruise around one of the islands of the Cyclades archipelago, and it was a Spanish tourist who noticed the presence of the royals and decided to photograph them with your mobile phone. Although the quality was not ideal, the blade remained Week decided to publish them on the cover. The tourist had captured Doña Letizia in a patterned bikini as she bathed in the Aegean Sea with her daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, and her husband, King Felipe VI. The little ones wore sun hats, while their mother wore a white hat. The family enjoyed the summer aboard an inflatable boat and Leonor and Sofía rode a jet ski.

The Spanish royal family takes great care of their holidays. Last year they walked the streets of Mallorca, one of the summer destinations for Spanish royalty for many years. Felipe and Letizia enjoyed their summer vacation with their two daughters. The heir to the throne did not have to return to Wales until August 26, so that they could enjoy her company for a few days. The four members of the family always laugh a lot during their holidays, as they are also used to the presence of the media on those days. At this point, Leonor and Sofía weren’t caught in a bikini as teenagers, something Doña Letizia probably wouldn’t be happy about. The monarch always tries to ensure that her daughters have as normal a childhood as possible, despite being part of the kingship, something that is sometimes incompatible. So much so that we have never seen a picture of Leonor enjoying the activities she performs at the boarding school in Wales.
