Queen Letizia turns 50 on September 15. At this time, no information has been provided by the Royal House about the possible celebration, although it is likely that an official image of the main character of the day will be published. The monarch will return to her calendar next Tuesday after enjoying her summer break, and will do so in Lleida as honorary president of the Spanish Association Against Cancer. Until the long-awaited photo of his 50th birthday is published, we take a look at the report provided by Casa Real 10 years agowhen Queen Letizia celebrated her 40th birthday.
At that time they were still the princes of Asturias, and it would not be until 2014 that they would become kings of Spain after the abdication of Don Juan Carlos. While most of the photos were taken in Zarzuela’s gardens, some interior corners of the family home were also shown.
Letizia and Felipe also got the chance to pose without their daughters. The then princes gave each other complicit glances and loving gestures as the photographer captured the perfect moment.
There was also room for more sober classical poses, such as this one in which we see Letizia and Felipe posing seated with a slight smile.
The Queen chose different looks for the report. In Zazruela’s gardens, she and the rest of the family opted for something more casual, while in her solo photos she opted for a black dress, another red and a third white.
The family wanted to create a classic-style reportage in the vein of the royal family, but with a natural touch, capturing improvised and more prepared moments, such as this portrait of Queen Letizia.
The Queen is a big fan of reading and it seems she has tried to instill that passion in her two daughters.
In this very endearing image, we see Letizia as a mother and not a queen, while her daughters listen carefully to what she says.
Some photos of just Doña Letizia were also published. With her past as a news presenter, she already has experience when it comes to standing in front of the lens, something that makes the work of photographers a lot easier.
Despite their young age, it could be seen that Leonor and Sofía were more than used to flash and were able to pose with astonishing naturalness. The sisters were very united in their poses and their relationship has strengthened over time.
They were the last official photos of the family until 2020, when new photos of the family were circulated. On this last occasion, the photographer was Estela de Castro, and Felipe and Letizia were already kings of Spain.
Like many mothers who send their children to study abroad, Queen Letizia will not be able to enjoy the company of Princess Leonor. The eldest daughter of the kings traveled to Wales on August 26 to begin her second year of high school at UWC Atlantic College. So Leonor is starting her senior year and next year she is going to university. The young woman will return to Spain on October 28 and will have the opportunity to celebrate her 17th birthday with her family.
Without a doubt, the spontaneity of Leonor and Sofía has monopolized the leading role of Casa Real’s report. Behind the pictures was Cristina García Rodero, who tried to show the real role of Doña Letizia and her endearing facet as a mother.
