Queen Letizia’s recent visit to the Olympic Games in Paris has allowed us to see a closer and more spontaneous side of the Spanish monarch.
Through her gestures and conversations, especially with celebrities, an image of the Queen that rarely comes to public light has been revealed.
Queen Letizia’s Chats with Celebrities
Over the years, Letizia has been known for her strict sense of privacy, but at specific moments, some of her interactions with well-known figures have given a glimpse of what she is really like in a more intimate setting.
For example, during the La Vanguardia Awards in 2023, Queen Letizia and singer Bad Gyal had an encounter that quickly became the topic of the moment.
The artist revealed that there was a special connection between them, describing their chat as “very natural, woman to woman,” touching on topics such as fashion and music.
Bad Gyal also shared the Queen’s curiosity about her outfit, which made clear Letizia’s interest in the world of fashion.
On another occasion, Queen Letizia broke the usual protocol during the Princess of Girona Awards to hug actress Vicky Luengo, which led to a conversation about cinema.
Luengo described Letizia as a great connoisseur of the seventh art, mentioning that the Queen was very interested in her work and in the series in which the actress was participating.
Letizia’s relationship with public figures also includes artists from other disciplines.
One example is Amaia, the winner of Operación Triunfo 2017, who recalled how the Queen asked her to play the piano in a previous meeting.
In their last meeting during the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest in 2023, the singer commented that Queen Letizia remembered that moment, and described the monarch as “a normal woman”, demonstrating her simplicity and closeness.
Another example is her interaction with Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, during the inauguration of the Cervantes Institute in Los Angeles in 2022.
Del Castillo highlighted how attentive Queen Letizia was during their conversation, and even hinted that the Queen might have a secondary Instagram account, as Letizia showed interest in the exercise routine that the actress posts.
In a conversation with Mario Marzo, the actor and pianist, during the presentation of the Art Prize 2024, Queen Letizia proved to be well informed about the artist’s personal and professional life.
Marzo was surprised by how much the Queen knew about him, which reflects her genuine interest in the people she interacts with.
These revelations, through the words of those who have had the opportunity to speak with her, allow us to see Queen Letizia from a different perspective.
Far from official acts and royal protocols, this more intimate and human image of the Queen contrasts with the reserved figure she usually shows in public and is someone who is easy to connect with.
