That's not true, none of the others have to put up with the criticism Letizia suffers. If Letizia wore in public a Chanel handbag as Elena does, she would be eaten alive. If Letizia wore an Oscar de la Renta gown to an Spanish fashion award she would be eaten alive. Paloma Barrientos and Jaime Peñafiel only hate(because they hate her) Letizia, not the rest of the family. P.Barrientos has a couple of monarchy websites which are regularly quoted by people here, if I remember right you usually link many (negative) Letizia articles from her website. She also has a gossip magazine and appears sometimes on TV. Jaime Peñafiel goes everywhere, and I mean everywhere(I've even seen him in German TV) to badmouth Letizia. He writes an article every week in one of the most read newspapers in Spain, mostly about the royal family and appears in the most viewed gossip show in Spain, always making up incredible information about Letizia. He proclaims himself the biggest expert on the spanish royals and people start calling him that. So yes, they have a huge impact on public opinion, and as dKaren has already said, if they repeat a lie enough times, it becomes the thruth.
People think that because she's a princess she spends tons of money on her wardrobe, you only need to read the comments on the posts that feature Letizia on the Huffington Post; many posts talk about how much her clothes must be, how they would look great with her budget too etc..and this people have stopped to analyse her outfits and comment on them, the average spaniard doesn't so of course they don't know how much her clothes are worth, but if the see an haute couture gown from a foreign house, a recognisable Chanel handbag etc... everybody would start complaining.
And about today's suit: I like it, it's professional and appropiate for the event even if it wasn't the most exciting outfit.
I agree. I´m Spanish and have to hear all the, in my opinion, very unfair critics to her. I can´t help laughing when I read here that "anybody would critise her for wearing expensive clothes".
). Nevertheless, her make up looks always professional, IMO and I don't mean it too critical. Letizia is a beautiful woman, she could look much better.
