Zarzuela makes a bad decision with Queen Letizia that outrages half of Spain

The error in Queen Letizia's name on the official website reignites criticism over Casa Real's digital neglect

The official website of Zarzuela has made a bad decision that has once again put the Royal Family in the spotlight of controversy. In a recent review of the institutional family tree, the name of Queen Letizia appears misspelled, without the letter "z," appearing as "Leticia." An apparently minor error that has caused a wave of indignation across half of Spain due to the lack of rigor in basic matters of institutional image.

This oversight is not an isolated incident, and many are wondering how it is possible that even the name of the current queen consort has not been properly cared for. Is it a simple typo, or are we facing another symptom of the lack of digital attention from the Royal Household?

Zarzuela makes a bad decision after an error in Queen Letizia's name

The correct spelling of the queen's name has been a recurring topic since the Asturian journalist married Felipe VI. "Letizia" with a "z" is the correct form that she has always used in her official documents, institutional communications, and professional publications prior to her entry into the Royal Household. This fact, well-documented in official sources, makes the persistence of the error even more inexplicable.

Monarquía Confidencial has been the outlet that pointed out this inconsistency, generating a debate about the rigor and attention to detail that should characterize an institution of such relevance. The surprise among crown analysts is enormous, considering that the queen's name should not present ambiguities after almost 20 years as part of the Royal Family.

However, the lack of precision is not new. Over the past few years, errors on the Royal Household's website have become commonplace. Whether due to inaccuracies in the official agenda, lack of updates in institutional photographs, or errors in historical documents, the platform drags problems that undermine the institution's credibility.

For example, the reference to the divorce of Infanta Elena was removed without prior notice. This fact also sparked criticism at the time for attempting to rewrite or silence official chapters of the family history.

These types of errors, far from being anecdotal, weaken the perception of professionalism of Zarzuela. In an environment where protocol, accuracy, and symbolism matter more than anywhere else. Therefore, misspelling the name of the queen consort is more than a typo: it is a worrying sign.

Sources close to Zarzuela explain the spelling error

Sources close to the Royal Household have tried to justify these inconsistencies by citing structural limitations. According to these sources, digital content is managed by an extremely small team. They claim that they depend directly on the resources assigned by National Heritage, which would make it difficult to conduct a thorough and meticulous review of all content.

"The digital communication department works with significantly fewer resources than other European royal households," they convey from the mentioned outlet. This situation has created the breeding ground for the proliferation of these seemingly minor errors, but with a great impact on the institutional image.

However, these explanations have not satisfied the most critical sectors. The repetition of this type of error in an institution with such a high level of public visibility has been harshly criticized even in circles traditionally close to Zarzuela.

"These types of situations should not occur," sources close to Zarzuela have pointed out. Words that implicitly acknowledge the seriousness of errors that, far from being anecdotal, reveal potential deeper problems in the management of the Crown's image.

For the moment, no official correction has been issued, nor has the error been rectified on the website. However, various sources assure that work will be done to correct the error in the coming hours following its media dissemination.

Despite redesigns and efforts to modernize the digital image, the criticisms persist. This time, the protagonist of the error is none other than the queen's name, which elevates the seriousness of the matter. The fact that no official correction has been issued nor rectified on the website so far only reinforces the sense of neglect.

For many citizens, this new error is not just a spelling lapse. It is the confirmation that Zarzuela is not paying due attention to its public image. At a time when the monarchy needs to strengthen its connection with the citizenry, these details make a difference.

In short, Zarzuela's mistake in writing Queen Letizia's name as "Leticia" has reopened the debate on how the Royal Household's official channels are managed. At a time when the digital image is key, these errors not only detract from credibility but also generate growing indignation. Is Zarzuela up to the institution it represents in the digital age?
