Letizia coincided with her ex-boyfriend, David Tejera

that must certainly have been quite a problem for letizia, david tejera and the protocol services. however, i'm glad they didn't cancel the visit just because of that. any other royal in the same position would have declined the request to not 'experience the unpleasant moment'. good for letizia to be brave and focus on her role as princess.

Well...I personally dont think the royal family works that way, letting things to happen freely without taking steps to handle them in a proper way.
Letizia probably knew in advance that he was not going to be there. He probably was requested by his bosses to go away during the visit. No one would be pleased to let this meeting to happen for being unpleasent for all the parts (except the pink press).

Just a question, how long did these two date -- 1 year; 2; 3? Or was he just the date for 3 months until another came along [more emotional]? For him to be called Letizia's "ex" indicates a very long serious affair -- I read somewhere that Felipe was the only really serious affection since her first marriage. If David was just her date for a few months the term ex seems to be used just to create a juicy story. Poor man, now it will hang over his head the rest of his life. Low class media.
Although, it didn't look like it bothered Felipe or Letizia, [guess they both have more class than the media]

Why a problem? I don't understand. Is this poor man in love with Letizia -- I don't think so -- and if he is, get over it. Life goes on and it isn't as if they were ever engaged to be married -- just seeing each other. A big story of symbolism with little substance.
I give Letizia credit for ignoring the stories that she and Felipe knew would develop -- Felipe looked very relaxed and confident so he was not worried by this silly mud stirring.

Come on, Winnie! I cannot believe you don't understand, unless you totally lack in sensitiveness, but I am sure you don't.
David dated Letizia, I can't remember for how long, but anyways I doubt that Letizia wasn't a bit embarrassed like any woman in the world when meeting an ex.
Felipe was going to meet his wife's ex boyfriend, and knowing the Latin men, I doubt he was so happy at the idea.
Both Felipe and Letizia were great, anyways.
To tell the truth I noticed and wrote that Letizia looked embarassed before knowing what was the reason why.

I'm sorry I don't understand -- does that mean that one can never meet a person that you have dated while with your husband? If it was only casual dating, what is the big deal. Now if she was his mistress/live-in for 3+ years, yes, I could appreciate a twinge of embarrassment that she found some else. But I don't think that was the case here. How about women that had children by ex-husband introducing him to the new spouse -- embarrassed -- why -- unless there was a deep seeded problem. And my first husband was Italian so I know all about what you are saying re Latin men. I still think this nonsense was more media driven and I feel sorry for David. Letizia and Felipe came out fine, as they should as it really was over played.

Completely agree with you. David is married to a CNN+ reporter with a child almost Leonor's age. If he was so uncomfortable, he would have taken the day off. I guess he was just uncomfortable with the cameras focusing on him. Again the yellow tabloids from Telecino was trying to make something out of nothing.

It looks like a lot is being made out of Letizia running into a guy who she went out with 4/5 years ago. I dread to think what would be the reaction if he actually had the audacity to speak to her?!

No, Winnie, sorry but I obviously didn't mean that at all!

yes, let's not pretend nothing was wrong. it's obviously unpleasant (for anyone!) to meet your ex-partner when with your new one. let alone with the prince and in an official event! they were however great in handling the situation.

Plenty of people remain on good terms with their exes after they break-up, some actually end up having even stronger relationships.

I didn't notice it being unpleasant for anyone except poor David -- doubt if anyone other than the gossip tramps give a hoot. To meet my ex- husband and ex-partner while with my new husband at a social event where everyone knows one's business, can't be a problem. It happens all the time, unless you move to another city. Its life.
It was just the fact that this poor man was hounded by camera tramps to make sure that they could make his day quite unpleasant. [plus I feel for his wife] He probably should have taken the day off work but didn't realize the media would stalk him with their camera for facial expressions.
I never realized that Spain had such trash media--thought it was all in America!

Nice anecdote: it says that before getting out of an airplane she makes sure the prince has the knot of his tie properly done and passes her hand by his hair. Sweet!

I love your avatar. When did Letizia use that headpiece? I have been to her thread but so far no pictures of Letizia wearing that green ornament in her hair. I would love to see a whole body pic since it was the first time I saw Letizia wearing a hair ornament as the SRF doesn't wear much.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but it is just a photoshop. The headpiece belongs to Mette-Marit. 
In this thread you'll find a few more Letizia-with-hat photoshops: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...ats-10067.html
