This Wednesday, June 11, the news that Queen Letizia of Spain could undergo surgery for a fractured foot caught the attention of the Spanish media.
The information was initially disclosed by TV presenter Belén Esteban after a banking event.
However, the Royal Household has issued a statement clarifying the health situation of the Queen, mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia.
What happened to Queen Letizia’s surgery?
Contrary to rumors, the Royal Household has confirmed that Queen Letizia will not require surgery in the coming days.
Although they have reserved specific details of her condition, they have assured the public that there is no need for concern about an impending operation.
Since news of her fracture was made public more than a month ago, the Queen has opted for flat, comfortable shoes, adapting her wardrobe to her rehabilitation plan.
Sneakers have replaced high heels as part of her regular attire.
Despite her injury, Queen Letizia has maintained her active schedule, including a cooperation trip to Guatemala.
Upon her arrival at the airport, her limp was noticeable, a detail that did not go unnoticed by the local press.
How did Queen Letizia fracture her finger?
The Queen suffered the fracture in the proximal phalanx of the central toe of her right foot after a domestic accident at the Zarzuela Palace.
Medical examinations confirmed the injury, but from the beginning, the option of surgical intervention was ruled out and remains so, according to the latest updates from the Royal Household.
This statement from the Royal Household has served to calm speculation and confirm that Queen Letizia continues on a path of recovery without the need for additional surgical procedures.
