I think Letizia has become really boring with her never changing hair style and in her-always the same model-suite and most of the time wearing red....I think she looked better before her wedding,but now...what's your opinion???
Perhaps she is trying not to draw so much attention to what she wears. I alos think that either way she is going to be criticized. It is the nature of the job.

Thanks for the pictures pdas1201! :)
I, too, really like Letizia's outfit. The fresh, spring green with the crispness of the white is a very young and fresh look (even if it is autumn for many of us!).
But I have to wonder about the Queen's outfit! She sort of reminds me of the mural in the room of Zarzuela Palace that the King and Queen always receive guests in, or she makes me think of antique sofa upolstery. :(

HAHA!!! Alexandria, that is mean, even though I agree with you about her dress looking like sofa upolstery (actually that was the first thing that came to my mind after seeing the pics)...

some pics I found of Letizia before she became the crown princess of Spain...really cute pics, if I may say so myself.
Of course, the captions are in Spanish, so I decided to use freetranslations.com, the trouble is if you want a decent translation you have to pay around $40. As I wasn't about to do that I decided to go for the "Free" translation and it turned out, let's just say not very good. So please disregard the grammer and syntax errors and try to get the basic message...
Letizia had a cameo role in a movie called "La mirada del angel" or the "the look of an angel" (check out pic #4), she looked innocent and beautiful...
Here are the captions that go with the pics:
1) Friday 31 of October said goodbye to the spectators next to Alfredo Urdaci as any another night, collected their things and went, although did it for the back door to be hidden of the photographers that expected it in the main entrance of Spanish Television. That was their last news Program. Al following day, the royal household announced that Letizia Ortiz, up till then journalist and presenter of the informative most seen one of the television, would become Princess of Asturias after its marriage with Felipe of Bourbon.
2) Born in Oviedo September 15, 1972 , Letizia Ortiz, vivaracha and talkative, arrived with eight years al public school The Exploit of Oviedo. Everyone says now that came itself to come, that that girl was going to arrive very far away, but few sensed how much. To the 14 it left the central one ovetense to be transferred with its parents to Madrid, demanded by labor obligations. The Ortiz Rocasolano chose the Institute Ramiro of Maeztu so that the young woman continued its studies.
3) Letizia Ortiz has two sisters, Thelma and Erika. That of the future Reign of Spain is the most conventional name among them although the 'z' that distinguishes has it history. It has related the own one Letizia, has always it written thus because when was born, its parents had to request al Vatican a dispensation so that them to permit to baptize it with that name. The official responsible for carrying out the procedures wrote the name in Italian, that is to say, with zed, and thus he remained
5) In 1999, Letizia Ortiz arrives at CNN Plus, where begins its phase of presenter. After a brief step by the private chain, in the 2000 arrives at TVE. Was in New York after the 11-S, in Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam and in the coasts of Galicia covered with tar. Was a presenter of Weekly Report, of the Morning news Program, of the campaign of the euro and, finally, of the news Program 2 together al director of informative of the chain Alfredo Urdaci.
6) Intelligent, cultured, tenacious, ambitious... they are some of the descriptions with the ones that who they know they define it the future wife of Felipe of Bourbon. Far from its habitual environment, in the Building of Guests of the Palace of the Operetta, Letizia Ortiz is prepared for its new life, not very far from the cameras or the news but yes of the platós of television
