What I admire about Letizia...? Not much. That's mostly because she's featured very little in the news here and I don't know very much about her.
What I do know, and admire about her, is that she changed a career where she, as far as I understand, was fairly successful and in charge of her own life, to a life in the very traditional Spanish court. She, unlike most of the other Crown Princesses, was accustomed to somewhat living in the public eye before she married into the royal family, and she knew the language. But that doesn't mean that the transition was easier for her, I suppose, and I think, judging from pictures I've seen, that she's adapting fairly well.
I think that the thing I admire most about Letizia is also the thing I admire about Mathilde, Maxima, Mette-Marit, Sonja, Silvia, Mary, Henrik, and the other commoners who have married into the royal families over the years. That they have the guts and love to go for it, and live the rest of their lives under public scrutiny. They know it can't be easy, despite some of the privileges that come with the part, and yet they dare believe enough in their love to alter their lives completely. Now, that? I admire.
