  • Cinema Los Reyes Felipe and Letizia, plan for two at the cinema

It is public knowledge that Doña Letizia has not lavished herself on weddings since she has been Queen. The last ones in which there is testimony of her presence were in March 2012, that of Álvaro Fuster, Don Felipe's best friend, with Beatriz Mira in Malaga, and that October that of the Luxembourg heir Guillermo with Estefanía de Lannoy. Being princes, probably out of obligation rather than devotion, she used to attend royal weddings with her husband, most of them "escorting" Doña Sofía,

since King Juan Carlos was not a fan of wedding splendor.

They attended the wedding of Frederick of Denmark with Mary in 2004 and that of Hamzah of Jordan, first-born of the deceased Hussein and Noor, in 2010 to that of Victoria of Sweden with Daniel Westling and in 2011 to that of William and Kate in London. The most anecdotal one took place in March 2004 while they were still dating,

when Doña Letizia attended the wedding of her cousin Abigaíl with Don Felipe,

who led the wedding procession on the arm of Enriqueta, maternal grandmother of her fiancée. It was an endearing ceremony, it was even revealed that at the banquet, Paco Rocasolano, the "taxi driver grandfather", demanded "more prawns for the Prince."

This 2024 there are three weddings of different signs coming up to which Doña Letizia, due to her relationship or that of the monarch, will be invited: the first, on April 6, that of the mayor of Madrid,

José Luis Martínez-Almeida with Teresa Urquijo Moreno de Borbón ,

second niece of King Philip. The next will be that of Victoria de Borbón Dos Sicilias, goddaughter of the Monarch and daughter of her intimate Perico López-Quesada who, although the date has not been set, will probably marry the Sevillian aristocrat Enrique Moreno de la Cova in September. and Ybarra. And later in the fall or at the beginning of winter, as the bride and groom have revealed, the wedding of actor Víctor Elías, Doña Letizia's cousin, with the

will take place .

The beginning of the romance between Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo: "She had asked to meet him"

It has recently emerged that Don Juan Carlos is invited to the mayor's wedding with Teresa Urquijo, who is the granddaughter of his cousin, Teresa de Borbón Dos Sicilias, sister of the late Duke of Calabria, whom the Emeritus made Infant of Spain, since they were close and meat since they were educated at the same boarding school, Las Jarillas. This aristocrat, royal highness, Marchioness of Laula and Laserta, is the daughter of a nephew of Alfonso XIII, the infante Don Alfonsito, who in turn was the brother of Doña María, mother of the Emeritus. Her close ties extend to the rest of the royal family, including King Felipe, who attended with Doña Sofía and the infantas the wedding of Teresa's parents, Beatriz Moreno de Borbón and Lucas Urquijo. It was held in 1995 at the El Canto de la Cruz estate, in the Madrid town of

Colmenar, where the mayor's wedding reception is also planned.

There, the grandmother of her fiancée breeds iron fleur-de-lis horses, the emblem of the Bourbon shield, and holds equestrian competitions, whose trophies have been presented by Infanta Elena and Queen Sofía. It seems that it was a very calculated "gesture" that Teresa's presentation as the mayor's girlfriend took place at an event presided over by King Felipe, the press rush in Las Ventas in June. It remains to be seen if the monarch finally attends the meeting, which is expected to be very attended by the PP leadership, and does so accompanied by his wife.

If his presence is taken for granted, and it is not ruled out that that of Doña Letizia as well, at the wedding of Victoria López-Quesada y Borbón, Teresa Urquijo's second cousin by the way and of the same age, with the Sevillian aristocrat Enrique Moreno de la Cova, grandson of the Count of Ybarra. Even the date is being tried to adapt to Don Felipe's agenda, since the bride's father,

Perico López-Quesada, is an intimate of the Monarch. So much so that he made him Victoria's godfather,

that he was also a member of the procession of pages at the Princes' wedding, and came to the fore for the kick that Froilán gave him in Almudena. The bride's mother is Cristina de Borbón Dos Sicilias, sister of the current Duke of Calabria, Pedro de Borbón, who has had a very prominent role as a mediator in family conflicts, both with the Infanta Cristina in the Nóos case, and between the Monarch and his father following the exile of the Emeritus. Curiously, Doña Letizia, not at all inclined to be intimate with her husband's family,

has become friends with Cristina de Borbón, and they have even attended a concert together,

so it is not ruled out that she attends this link, which according to what has been published , will take place in La Toledana, the Calabria estate in the La Mancha town of Retuerta del Bullaque.

The relationship of the third of these weddings comes from Doña Letizia because the groom is her cousin, the actor Víctor Elías, the famous Guille from the series Los Serrano who marries the singer Ana Guerra. The wedding will be held in Madrid and although the date has not been set, the couple have confirmed that the Queen is invited. Víctor is the son of Amelia Álvarez del Valle, who was the first cousin of the Queen's father, Jesús Ortiz, and died in the summer of 2022.

Doña Letizia and the actor, who claims to "show off" as a cousin since he presented the news program,

had enough relationship in the past, as they coincided at family celebrations, but after becoming Queen they have seen each other only a couple of times. Ana Guerra does not even know her, but as she declared in

Vanity Fair

: "Everyone thinks it is very strong that the Queen is invited, but I see her as Victor's cousin, not in any other way."
