"Future Queen Shown Topless" By Isambard Wilkinson
Source: Telegraph.co.uk
Pictures of a painting showing a topless woman said to be Spain's future queen appeared on a newspaper's website yesterday. The move by El Mundo sabotaged the royal family's wish for a scandal-free build-up to the wedding of Crown Prince Felipe to Letizia Ortiz, a divorced journalist. The website published an article and photograph taken from a Mexican newspaper which alleged that the 31-year-old royal bride may have posed semi-naked for a Cuban-Mexican artist while she studied in Mexico in 1996. She went on to become a television presenter in Spain. The photographs showed a mural, which once decorated a restaurant and then served as a poster for a band. A figure similar to Letizia Ortiz is shown bare-breasted and holding a paper plane. The artist, Waldo Saavedra, said he knew Ms Ortiz and has other paintings and photographs of her. He said he had enjoyed a "professional and friendly relationship" with her. Spanish government officials have bought a safe to keep the divorce papers of the royal bride in so that details of her failed first marriage cannot leak out.
