Surprise in the royal family: Queen Letizia has already confirmed it and has been direct

The Royal Family has been taken by enormous surprise. All because some direct statements from Queen Letizia have come to light. These are statements in which she confirms that she is very clear about the lines that separate her past and her present.

Specifically, Felipe VI's wife has made it clear that her profession as a journalist helps her in her current position. However, she doesn't want to mix both roles, even though some people have asked her to do so.

Queen Letizia speaks clearly and forcefully

Queen Letizia, who has just reunited and spent a few days with her daughter Leonor, is now making headlines. The reason is that the singer-songwriter from Salamanca, Juana, has revealed some conversations she has had with her. These are conversations where they have talked about her past in journalism and even about her current life as consort.

Specifically, the artist, who met the king's wife at an event of the Princess of Girona Foundation, has revealed them to Lecturas. He has said that when they met, seeing how she modulates her voice like a good journalist, he made her a proposal. He stated about it: "I told her she should do a podcast like Michelle Obama."

Queen Letizia's response was clear, concise, and straightforward: "It's just that people are going to ask if I'm a queen or a journalist." With that direct phrase, she marked the boundary between her previous professional life and her current role within the Royal Family.

She, who before her marriage to Felipe VI worked in the field of journalism, has managed to capitalize on those communication skills. However, she has insisted that her role as queen consort can't be confused with that of a media figure, nothing more.

The fact that she has rejected the idea of starring in a podcast doesn't mean she denies her past. On the contrary: she has made it clear that her experience as a journalist has been useful to her. Especially when it comes to communicating with confidence and empathy at her official events.

However, she isn't willing to erase the boundaries. She knows that her current role requires institutional neutrality that can't be kept if she starts sharing personal opinions or content, as an influencer would.

Juana, meanwhile, hasn't hesitated to praise her: "She is one of the smartest people I've ever met. She looks at you, listens to you, and remembers you from one time to the next. She is very quick in her responses."

The Royal Family values Queen Letizia's clarity

This episode has highlighted Queen Letizia's determined character, and it has also caused an internal reaction within the Royal Family. In an environment where the public image is managed with extreme precision, her speaking with such transparency is not common, which is why it has been a real surprise for many.

Moreover, this gesture of sincerity has been interpreted as a sign of how she knows how to manage her public image without falling into overexposure. That is, she is aware of the interest she generates, but she doesn't want to become an easy-consumption character for the media.

Likewise, it should be noted that the aforementioned singer-songwriter has also had words of praise for other members of the Royal Family. For example, he commented that Felipe VI seemed to him a very natural and friendly man.

He has even shown admiration for Princess Leonor: "She has great training and poise for whatever comes. I think she's going to do great." These kinds of comments reinforce the image of a close Royal House, but they also show the great preparation that exists behind each public appearance.
