40th Anniversary of the Spanish Constitution. December, 2018

Bekia is a gossip website, and copies the gossip of a gossip journalist of a newspaper that always criticizes Letizia, and where Peñafiel writes.

She had to write something and invented this story... she was probably one of those who also criticized Letizia two years ago for applauding little at the opening of Parliament... little or too much, but for some gossips the number of applause is never right. According to her, Letizia was the only one who continued to applaud, and you only have to watch the images to see that all the people were still doing it.

Bizarre criticism considering the entire room was on its feet and applauding and people were shouting "Viva (el Rey?)" as he walked out. I also heard that Felipe gave an incredible speech. Maybe she was applauding because she's proud and supportive of her husband???

It's mind-blowing how enthusiastically clapping after your husband made a long and important speech in a difficult situation, a speech he has probably been preparing for months, can be taken as an attack on your parents-in-law. Nothing should surprise me anymore from Peñafiel and his cronies, but it is incredibly bizarre how it's a criticism that is taken seriously here at The Royal Forums, and worse, there's even more to pile on the Queen, she was "defying" her husband (what a Victorian and odd way to describe it)

[Livia]

I think it's because the people here don't understand how work spanish gossip media, how destructive they can be, they have Letizia in their target and this is not going to change never. She makes them win a lot of money everyday.

Bekia's article is just ridiculous, you only need to watch a video, which is not a secret and it's on YouTube, to see with your own eyes that almost everybody (not Podemos and allies obviously) was clapping.

So, please, people, do not believe what spanish gossip media says, maybe only a 5-10% it's true, the rest is pure invention.
