Princess Letizia's Family, News Part 4: February 2008 - May 2013

[Duke of Marmalade]

There is no question that the media coverage about the private citizen Telma Ortiz is disgusting and of course her decision where to live and bring up her child should not depend on the paparazzi's behaviour. But, when looking at the past weeks and what her sister Erika had to endure, Telma can be sure that being chased will become a part of her daily life in the foreseeable future, meaning a major loss of quality of life for her. That's sad but a fact and won't go away. The question that she has to ask herself is if she wants to be annoyed every day with lots of unflattering pictures in the papers, of course always reflecting on her sister, or if she wants a life away from Madrid or even abroad and enjoy her privacy. It's really amazing that in Spain you can make your money with taking pictures of the siblings of a commoner CP who are not even involved in some scandals. That's really unique in the royal world, in a bad sense.

lula The Ortiz-Rocasolano, would have the whole right to take legal actions against the press, because the press has exceeded more than once the limits of the legality and the elementary rights. If they do not do it it is for not causing problems to the Princess and to the Royal Household. The problem is the attitude of the Royal House before the press, the minimal thing that they should do is to demand respect for this family and to give them protection.

They are very brave indeed not to sue. I wonder when enough is enough and they will finally take action. I understand that the Royal House is worried about the consequences that might be unpleasant for them but hey, why don't they recognize the family's attitude of staying out of conflicts and do a little more to support them?

 

[RhapsodyBrat]

She did that?? I think that even if she doesn't belong to the royal family she should know how to behave in public, her sister is going to be the next Queen of Spain and that should really mean something to her and to her family!!!! And beeing outside with her pink sleepers shoes doens't help at all What does Letizia think about this???

why react so strongly? you only saw photos and those photos don't even tell anything. just because she was photographed gesturing like she's mad doesn't mean she really was mad at that time. you weren't there.

and what does the princess have to do with all of this? Telma has her own life, she can wear whatever she wants. the slippers should be the least reason for such an issue. for crying out loud.

looking at a photo is like thinking what to say: look twice, look hard, and do not assume anything.

Yes of course I wasn't there that's why my question was: She did that????If and only if she has done that has some here have reported I think she did not act properly. She is the sister of the future Queen of Spain and I think, IMO of course, this say it all!Yes Telmas has her own life but you came eith your family and if your sister is going to be next Queen of Spain you also need to handle that consequence IMO!!!! She should't wear that slippers outside, that is not polite either correct

 

[Mari_*]

I read in Hola.com that it's a girl, is it true?

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Hear, hear. The usual double standards. All we do here is judge from pictures - we are actually never there. So when we see a picture of Telma clearly losing her temper and yelling at a person it doesn't mean it's true because nobody was around in person to see what actually happened? Aha. That just makes me wonder why people are so sure that Felipe and Letizia are so much in love and have such a happy marriage - do they get their judgement from pictures or are they actually around in person to witness themselves?

 

[lula]

It seems to me that before the lack of Letizia's news there is very much boredom, and then it has to criticize her sister. Really it seems to me to be a bit sad.

That's an understatement.

Just because she is the sister of the future Queen of Spain doesn't mean she should be stalked by the paparazzi. Telma is a private citizen. Plain and simple. To suggest that she isn't, guilty be association, because her sister is a public figure is absolutley absurd.

 

[Little_star]

Telma has been looking very sloppy lately, unkempt, more like a bag lady than the pretty lady who used to sparkle at her sisters' events.

More pics of Telma. Not sure why she felt the need to wear her purple slippers outside on the street.

She's pregnant for goodness sake, and heavily pregnant at that.

I don't think I've seen a pregnant woman receive quite so much vitriol before.

 

[donnaK]

I rather like Telma's attitude. She didn't like being stalked by the paparazzis, just told them in the face, nothing wrong. Erika was also bothered by the paparazzis a great deal, but she was always very friendly and nice, at the end didn't do herself any good.

You are doing speculations, without knows the one who is this person. I do not believe that he was a paparazzi, but assurance that in the television they had attacked her if she says something to the press.

Today I have seen in television, another terrible image, of this senseless press that exists in Spain. Thelma was in Toledo, was by night and the photographers and the television camera were following her. Really seeing it, I was afraid that at any time Thelma was stumbling and passing something worse.

I don't think that he was a paparazzi either but somebody she knew. What I don't get lula is this sentence ... but assurance that in the television they had attacked her if she says something to the press. Telma has any reason to sue or the Royal House has any reason to ask for protection and I cannot imagine that either party would be critizised for doing so. What happens at the moment is toleration of public harrassment of a private person. As much as this does not cast a positive light on the media it does not cast a positive light on the Royal House either. If they backed Telma it would mean backing Letizia, too. It somehow gives the impression that her family doesn't mean a thing to them.

What do you mean that You are afraid that at any time Telma was stumbling and passing something worse.

 

[lula]

Thelma is a pregnant woman of 8 months. If a photographer chases her focusing with a camera or a light on less than 1 meter of distance (in those images she was walking by night, in a narrow street and the photographers they were stuck to her), if photographers chase her car ... ultimately it can pass what already has happened in other occasions, falls, traffic accidents... The Spanish photographers are not calm paparazzi who do photos from a distance reasonable, often theyfollow the persons to short distance or chase their cars.

Very true. It's a worrying situation for Telma .

 

[Nad25]

[Ennyllorac]

I don't understand why the press feels they need to chase Telma around. She has a right to her privacy. It is Letizia who has chosen a public life not Telma.

[RhapsodyBrat]

^ and now they know when Enrique's birthday is? Wow, they dig really deep!

 

[crm2317]

In a post above it states Telma is expecting a son. Is this speculation or confirmed?

 

[Her_Majesty]

I am more then surprised to see how much interest the press actually shows in Telma and her boyfriend.

 

[Ennyllorac]

I don't think they have announced the gender. This may be a problem with translation. In Spanish, they can use the word "hijo" when someone is expecting but the gender is not known. It is like saying child.

 

[princess leonor]

Diez Minutos has an article with some pictures of Telma with her mom in the car.

Paloma Rocasolano conoce<br>a los “suegros” de Telma

From the looks of it Telma is due any minute now. Just hope everything goes well, and the press finally starts leaving her alone

 

[lula]

The press says that she is a girl, but, who does know?

The press has come up to the end of the irrational thing. The weekend in Toledo 8 or 10 photographers were waiting in the door of the house of the parents of Enrique. They tried to block Plaoma in order that she had difficulties to leave the house in her car. When Paloma went away and the photographers were already alone in the street, they started fighting between them.

And in addition, of it, some journalist say that everything is Thelma's fault because she does not want to appear in the photos and does not give explanations on her life.

In addition, they have commented that several thousands of Euros have paid for the firsts photos of pregnant THelma.

They are mad, and lose the sense of the reality, of what it is normal and of the minimal respect that the persons deserve.

 

[Her_Majesty]

Definitely.
It's quite a phenomenon...
I cannot remember that something like this happened to any other siblings of Royals... The press rarely shows interest in them.
So, as I said before: the press' interest in Telma's pregnancy really surprised me... in a negative way!
Poor woman.. she shold be left alone.

Thanks for the good new's Lula, I'm glad to hear he's alright.
Can't believe there are 30 members of the dress there

Princess Letizia's grandfather in heart attack scare

Good to hear that Francisco is better. Whatever will happen I think it's a gift for a person in Letizia's age to still have 2 grandmothers and 1 grandfather, with the maternal grandparents both being around 90 years of age & in good health. That's really exceptional & something to be thankful for.
