It’s not easy to get to know Queen Letizia since the version it usually shows is hermetic and strictly official. Few people can boast of knowing her privately, but one of them is Carmen Duerto. The author has published a book called Letizia, a real woman, where he reveals the result of years of following his steps and researching the figure of Felipe VI’s consort. And he launches it in the countdown to Her Majesty’s 50th birthday.
Through the pages we can discover a reliable report of a woman who has been dealing with Letizia for several years. It was even to her that he made his legendary comment about the King and Queen’s summer residence in Palma de Mallorca: “And do you think this is a holiday?”, which would eventually mark every phase of the Queen on the island. It presents its protagonist as a real woman, a mother and very concerned about everything around her.
Taking advantage of his promotion, he has talked to some media such as: Jaleos of El Espanol or LOOK, where he confessed some ins and outs of his masterpiece. One of the answers that has attracted the most attention was the question of what I would ask the Queen if she stood in front of her: “I would ask her how she lives, as a journalist of the race she has been and that I would dare say that she is still, with a mask on her mouth, without being able to reveal some of the things she thinks public.This must be super frustrating for her.Letizia arrives at the monarchy at the age of 32, with a very outspoken character and values as opposed to the setting. It’s remarkable how he has adapted,” he says in the first half.
Duerto gives clues about how the royal family works and also about the steps that future generations will take, in the case of Leonor and her sister Sofía. Everything indicates that the little girl will follow in the footsteps of the first and also study in Wales. We discuss some of the most juicy statements Carmen Duerto has left about Letizia.
The author of the book believes that the Royal House is preparing a special celebration to celebrate the 50th birthday of Doña Letizia: “The Royal House is certainly preparing powerful things to draw the media attention there. They already did it when they Turning 40, they launched a series of great family and personal photos of Letizia, taken by a National Photography Award, which prevented them from talking about things like her past, etc. It was a good strategy,” he says in The Spanish.
Duerto tells in his book how the members of the royal family relate to each other. Sofía de Borbón is the perfect squire for her sister Leonor, her confidant and best friend, knowing that they will occupy different roles as the eldest of kings will inherit the throne. As a result, he has a closer bond with Felipe VI.
These are three of the attributes by which the character of the Queen of Spain could be defined. And it is said by an author with a pen who is authorized to write about her. Behind that hieratic appearance is a powerful personality full of cunning and daring.
Much has been written about that hermetic tone she uses behind closed doors, but is she really a distant queen? “There is a lot of very valuable information about the king and queen that is generated in those circles and in the travels they share with the specialized press, but some of those journalists have a habit of not passing it on. Then I come to, he disagrees, and I burst out, I tell more private things that bring them closer to people, make them more empathetic and human,” he says in rush.
He believes that the arrival of Letizia in the life of Felipe helped the king in several ways, for example to improve the way you communicate: “Felipe’s diction is now a thousand times better, his speeches are more developed. Having a journalist at home with such a stunning vision as Letizia Ortiz’s has brought him a lot,” he says in the interview.
The author believes that Doña is at a very good time in her life because she feels the support of the people and has only the king in front of her. She has struck a perfect balance between her persona and her role as queen.
