You know. Beauty is in the eye of the bearer. I don't think Princess Letizia is an ugly lady. But FOR ME, she is quite a "standard" beauty. Not a remarkable one. For me (again) her facial features are too hard. She has a hard expression. I think that one of the reasons I couldn't become a fan of her (much more that than the fact she is not from a traditional nobility family) is for the coldness and the hardness I see on her face.
I'm more a fan of classical faces and bodies. And even if they are NOT real beauties, I like Princess Masako of Japan, for she is always smiling and her eyes have a so sweet expression, Princess Mathilde of Belgium, Princess Maxima of the Netherlands and Princess Mette Marit for their charisma and sweetness. They are not always showing an embarrassed face.
But again. Beauty is in the eye of the bearer.

What a strange and delicat contradiction you have to describe you kind of woman's beauty!
First of all because you are mixing - I have to congratulate you for your frankly way to express it ) so much your feelings with objective observations:
the fact to don't belong to traditional noble family!!! All the Crown Princess that you are speeking for you as model of Crown Princesses are in the same Letizia' case in particular Mary Donaldson and Mette Marit.
For Masako, it's curious because if she is coming from intellectual upper lever class, but she is neither aristocratic birth!
I have to take the conclusion that this point, it's not your major criterium to appreciate or not a Crown princess.
Then about the faces's features and the body.
I agree, yes Letizia don't have at all a classical face beauty. At the opposite har features are so original to be clasical but the whole is doing a phenomenon result which we call it the true beauty absolutly lightened by her eyes - sorry, I'm not going to analyse her features point by point
because my post will be so long-
But her body is so feminine that I don't understand your "reservation" unless if you are thinking that a woman who has a very femine silhouet is not at all feminine.... because she is too... ( thin
it's awfull because I have pronouced the fatefull word and
I don't want to reengage the steril conversation about this item!!! )
For me - because in this field the subjectivity is totally predominant - the Princess of Asturias is actually a great beauty!
If you want it and I agree with you for that, not a classical one. But you can't do morphing whjch would be totally irrelevant in this case and tell that the Princess of Asturias is a hard person because her features look hard because, as you said it with a lot of revelancy ( or if you don't said it expressly, it looks like a lot!..) her eyes!!!
You had yet seen the Letizia full of love's look toward her husband, toward her precious little baby girls, these full of compassion toward children toward people who are suffering after the death of their son, husband, friends, doesen't help you to understand how deep is the tenderness of the Princess of Asturias toward all the people in distress?
Don't forget that the Princess of Asturias knows the realities of the world but she isn't obliged to show it every times because she is under the eye of the camera!
