  • Networks Jesús Ortiz, father of Queen Letizia, denounces having been the target of an attempted scam online

  • 50 years of Jesús Ortiz's career, the golden retirement of Leonor's grandfather

Jesús Ortiz (73)

, father of Queen Letizia, has always shown discretion

in

each of his public appearances. Since his daughter became part of the Spanish Royal Family, the journalist has always preferred

to remain in the background

and there have been rare occasions in which he has dared to

offer statements

to any media outlet. Until now, he has decided

to break this secrecy

to grant an unexpected interview to the

Faro de Vigo.

As reflected in the article from the aforementioned media, the interview took place

by telephone,

and as expected, he was asked about his new stage as

a retiree, not retired,

since he continues to write reports on travel, culture and history. Jesús has explained that

journalism is a profession

that he already wanted to dedicate himself to when he was only 10 years old, that he is passionate about and that, for now,

he does not want to leave

.

Beyond talking about the ins and outs of communication, Jesús has also responded to the possibility of

writing his own memoirs,

given the interest that his figure as the father of the current Queen has always generated: "It would only serve to fuel unnecessary morbidities. I'm not going to give anyone reasons to fill pages, opinions and hours of television and radio.

I have no interest.

I have more to lose than gain with those things,

it's not worth it,"

he answered bluntly, leaving Of course, it does not contemplate the possibility of recounting in first person details of

its most private

and unknown side.

Being faithful to the discretion that has always characterized him, during the aforementioned interview

he has not spoken at any time about his daughter,

Queen Letizia, nor his son-in-law, King Felipe VI, nor his granddaughters, Princess Leonor and the Infanta Sofia. And the journalist in charge of transcribing his words has limited himself to pointing out that

he "kindly refused

to respond to other types of questions."

What he has spoken about, for the first time, is some of his

hobbies

. And he has confessed that he considers himself a

"musician by ear",

since he can spend hours and hours trying to

play out the chords

of a specific song with the guitar, at the same time that he also tries to cover it on the piano. Linked to his vocation for journalism, Queen Letizia's father has also indicated that

he reads constantly

and that the subject that fascinates him most is that related to

research

or the world of communication itself.
