I dont have a problem with someone posing topless per se - I just think it shows a certain lack of judgment which is regrettable (if in fact it is true in this case - which I guess we wont know for sure).

I know that this artist has said that Letizia never modeled for him and that he used his imagination or was simply inspired by her, but the releasing of the most life-like painting of her on her wedding day just seems so sleazy on his part. I think he just wants the publicity and is capitalizing on his (former) association with Letizia.

i agree with alxandria. that's too much !!

the past is coming back to haunt her now.

It seems the artists has achieved his objective: attention. Ironically, it seems the foreign press is far more interested in this story than the spanish press. Most of the articles I've seen are from mexico. In anycase, I think I've about had it with this topic. It's getting boring.

Waldo stopped calling the Saavedra family. But he never forgot ‘Leti’. He has not insisted on congratulating her on her engagement, because he feels it would distress her. “No matter where she is now, I am still her friend.”

That last line cracks me up. Calling to congratulate her would "distress her." What? As opposed to the joy she will experience when he publically shows one of the portraits on her wedding day...

Another slimy man looking for attention. Just what the world needs.

Sorry but it isn't the Letizia's body, only the Letizia's face!!! (trick photography) :P
