“The Spanish RF would have crumbled after Juan Carlos’ scandals had Felipe married someone from the nobility that his parents approved of. You can’t convince me it wasn’t Letizia who made sure Felipe stood his ground and distance himself from his troublesome family and work hard on gaining back public trust.” - Submitted by Anonymous

King Felipe and Queen Letizia recreated the picture taken at the 2003 Prince of Asturias Awards when their relationship was still a secret from the public. According to sources present, it was Letizia's idea to recreate the moment.
It was the first time that Letizia Ortiz as a journalist went to the Campoamor Theater to cover the awards on the public channel. The following year she returned, but this time as Princess of Asturias. Edition after edition has been faithful to one of her most special events, which now bears the name of her first-born: the Princess of Asturias. King Felipe greeted everyone present and stopped with Doña Letizia who was next to María Escario.
The then journalist was somewhat shy, aware of the impact that the images would have shortly after. She couldn't help but smile nervously. She was wearing an elegant pinstriped suit with a black top. The snapshots spread like wildfire when there were still no social networks and some time later Queen Letizia herself would speak out about that outstanding episode that would mark the beginning of everything that was to come. "I was lucky enough to cover the Prince of Asturias Awards. I remember in front of the prince, His Royal Highness, and Graciano García saying: 'How did you not tell me that you were Menchu's granddaughter?' The prince would look at me and say: 'And what about this girl?'"
