Royal Household sources say enough is enough and admit this about Queen Letizia: ‘She needs a…’

They have been very firm in confirming the news that has been circulating these days about the wife of Felipe VI

Sources from Casa Real have said enough after the latest speculations about Queen Letizia. They have done so while admitting the most relevant news about her.

It was journalist Ana Polo, who is knowledgeable about the institution, who revealed that it is true that the wife of King Felipe has chosen a new chief for her secretariat. Furthermore, she stated that Letizia "needs an effort, greater promotion, to highlight her role, to get more out of that agenda, and the truth is that Marta Carazo is the right profile."

Queen Letizia chooses Marta Carazo as new chief of secretariat and Casa Real confirms it

For years, María Dolores Ocaña has been Queen Letizia's right hand at the head of her secretariat. But after her resignation for family reasons, Casa Real has been forced to restructure one of the most important areas of the queen's daily operations. Yes, her agenda, her communication, and her institutional strategy.

It was there where the wife of Felipe VI has taken a decisive step, opting for a completely different profile. Marta Carazo, a specialized journalist and former anchor of TVE news, will be in charge of occupying that key position. She is a young, modern woman with direct experience in handling media and public opinion.

It was journalist Ana Polo who confirmed this appointment and openly praised the choice. She did so on the program La mirada crítica, leaving strong statements: "Letizia needs an effort, greater promotion, to highlight her role, to get more out of that agenda. Marta Carazo is the right profile."

"Marta Carazo is a magnificent professional. All of us who work in the media know that she is a person of enormous prestige. I love this change of profile."

For her, this appointment is more than an administrative renewal. It is a strategic shift within Casa Real, which for the first time gives space to a figure with a media vision of the institution.

According to her words, Carazo is a woman "much younger, who comes from the media, very far from the constraints of the palace. Honestly, I think it has been a total success for the queen."

A change that reflects the new stage of Queen Letizia in Casa Real

Queen Letizia has been in the spotlight in recent months due to an especially active agenda. From state visits to cultural meetings and solo events, her institutional profile has gained weight, but it has also required more effective and agile communication.

The arrival of Marta Carazo could be the answer to that need. She is a professional used to dealing with current events, with experience in international relations and great media credibility.

As Ana Polo has pointed out, "At last, we have a true specialist in communication in Casa Real. Yes, it is one of the things that all of us who are dedicated to Casa Real have been insisting on for a very long time. Letizia needs another type of profile by her side."

With Marta by her side, the strategy of the mother of Leonor will be clearer: to modernize and communicate better. Also to give visibility to the work she does daily for the Crown.

In addition, although Ocaña was a highly valued figure, her more classic style contrasted with the way Felipe VI's wife acts. With the new addition, the queen makes sure she has an ally who understands the media language and who can help her consolidate her public image without friction.

The new position that Carazo assumes is not simple. She will be in charge of the agenda and public strategy of one of the most observed women in the country. Her role will not be limited to organization, but she will have to interpret and enhance the institutional narrative surrounding the queen.
