Letizia's Career as a Journalist


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Not sure if this is allowed but Letizia looks amazing. As a reporter she comes across as "very real" and relatable. And like it or not looks matter and she looks and sounds animated, engaged and very appropriately presented. I like this version of Letizia, it's like day and night compared to Queen Letizia's version. It's hard to see just how much she has changed.

Letizia and her work on TV:


I am not sure if I understood it correctly, but the clip said that at the end of it that her name is spelled Letizia rather than Leticia (as usual in Spanish) due to an error of an Italian funcionario (clerk?) who spelled her name wrongly with a 'z' as in Italian when "transferring it to a certificate". If so, was that document supposed to be her birth certificate? And why would an Italian clerk be in charge of that in Spain? It doesn't make sense to me.

Queen Letizia, during her time as a journalist, made numerous trips, but none as important as the one she made alone to Costa Rica in 2003.
Letizia Ortiz asked TVE for a few days to undertake that trip and stay in the house of an indigenous family.

One of Letizia's main jobs as a journalist was covering the September 11 attacks.
In theory, she would be a correspondent in New York for a week, but ended up staying for five months.
At that time, Letizia met fellow reporter Evelyn Von Brocke, with whom she established a great friendship.
The Argentinean says that Letizia visited her home frequently.
