King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain have unveiled their 2023 Christmas card featuring a family portrait, showcasing a united front amidst recent controversial allegations.
The royal couple, joined by their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, radiate strength and togetherness in the photograph taken on Princess Leonor’s 18th birthday.
Regal Elegance on Display
In the newly released portrait, Queen Letizia, donned in a Carolina Herrera dress from the Fall 2013 collection, exudes sophistication accessorized with Bulgari earrings and a Coreterno ring.
Her elegant ensemble, complemented by glamorous makeup and a chignon hairstyle, stands as a testament to her grace and style.
Stylish Family Ensemble
Princess Leonor shines in a chic Sastrería Serna suit paired with Lodi pumps and Gold & Roses diamond earrings, while Infanta Sofia blossoms in a floral silk Erdem dress matched with LMDI Collection ballerina shoes. King Felipe presents a smart appearance in a traditional morning suit, completing the regal family portrait.
Momentous Occasion for Princess Leonor
The portrait captures Princess Leonor’s significant day marked by institutional events, including her pledge of allegiance to the Constitution in front of the Cortes Generales. As the heir to the Spanish throne, this day holds great significance in her journey.
Amid Controversy and Allegations
The release of the family portrait coincides with a tumultuous period for the Spanish royal family. Explosive claims surfaced regarding Queen Letizia’s alleged involvement with her sister’s ex-husband, Jaime Del Burgo.
His recent contributions to a tell-all book, accompanied by a purported selfie of Letizia wearing his pashmina during one of her pregnancies, have stirred controversy.
Response from the Royal Spokesperson
Addressing these claims, a spokesperson for the Spanish royals refrained from commenting on the matter, maintaining a discreet stance amidst the controversy surrounding the allegations made by Jaime Del Burgo.
