• Professional Queen Letizia: the jewel in the crown shows strength to save her

  • 50 years of Letizia's revolution

On September 15, Queen Letizia

turned 50

and celebrated it in private in Zarzuela, without events but with

intense work

preparing the agenda.

A day later, she presided over a concert by the Spanish Association Against Cancer to which Don Felipe accompanied her by surprise.

Doña Letizia reached half a century with

the serenity of experience

and settled in the position of Queen Consort that she has held for eight years and that she has already polished and made her own.

La Reina, focused on child nutrition, rare diseases, education and mental health, has become

the best showcase

for local clothing brands and a speaker for minority causes.

A day in the life of Queen Letizia: family breakfast and many 'elbows'

Doña Letizia has learned to

communicate without speaking

and has also become

the image of a healthy body.

Much has been said this year about his

stylized and fibrous figure,

the result of a serious training discipline in which it has even been speculated that he

practice climbing,

something not confirmed, but a rumor that was born after the visit of the King's wife to a mountain book publisher at the Madrid Book Fair.

There, Doña Letizia confessed that she liked to walk in the mountains.

The Queen is strong and this year

she has shown off a lot of her musculature.

The first time she did it was at a Red Cross event, where she appeared in a cut-out dress that

showed off her abs.

Later in Mallorca, she showed off her legs in

white shorts

and around the summer she showed her back in a dress with a

strategic back neckline

with which she went to the Teatro Real.

But the training has not resolved Doña Letizia's main ailment.

The Queen was diagnosed at the beginning of the year with

chronic metatarsalgia

and in June, after several attacks of even paralyzing pain, they found a

Morton's neuroma

on her left foot that was made public at the party on October 12, when the Kings made

three breaks during the kissing

of more than 1,500 guests at the Royal Palace reception.

Felipe VI's wife suffers from this inflammation that forces her, on occasions, to use

heels of a lower height

than the stilettos with which she is used to walking.

This is to the detriment of the dresses that she has to wear for the acts, so when the Queen has a pain crisis,

she must adapt her wardrobe.

All in all, Doña Letizia has consolidated her role as consort of the Head of State this year.
