I'm curious as to why some people are so adamantly against the image of Letizia's dress blowing up being published in various publications within Spain and outside.
I agree that it was an embarassing moment but Letizia recovered from it gracefully from what I saw. She didn't run away immediately and hide or refuse to attend any other events the rest of the week because she was so mortified from it.
A royal princess' underwear being shown is certainly not an image that any royal court wants to see projected on international magazine covers or newspapers for sure. But I've never seen it as an occasion, or read a hint of it, as being something that would be detrimental to Letizia's image or the royal family's image or reputations.
To me it was a very unfortunate incident, but a human and normal one. It's happened to me and it's happened to people I know, but it's not the end of the world. You are embarassed in the moment, then you laugh about it and move on.
When Victoria of Sweden or Paola of Belgium's skirts blew up and they were photographed I don't recall people being so upset that they wanted the images removed from this forum or boycotting publications that printed such images.
To me such images reinforce that Letizia is human, and that she is graceful under pressure whatever the circumstances. I think that the incident and its aftermath showed that she is a class act in the way she carried on with the rest of that engagement and in the days that followed.
