Princess Letizia's Family, News Part 1: November 2003 - May 2006

[Meg]

A lot of the so called "stories" or "interviews" are nothing other than the press screaming a few questions at one of the family members' front door or workplace

Erika gave an interview inside her workplace posing for photos. But I really feel sorry for them. Paparazzis are terrible.

Yes she did--one interview way back in November. That's why I said "a lot" and not "all". But I still insist that the family is discreet and trys to just go about life. I'm sure the mother would have much rather not have been photographed at the beach; I'm sure Erika doesn't like to have her daughter photographed all the time comming and going from school. But what are they to do? Stop living? My point is only that that family has behaved, ever since the engagement was announced, with dignity and grace and should not be held accountable for the paparazzis deciding to make them a target.

The Spanish press--much to her annoyance, apparently--has dubbed Telma the discovery of the wedding and claim she is now the "golden single". And since the spanish "pink press" likes nothing better than to gossip and make a lot of stuff up there are now a few professional gossips claiming that she has started to date Felipe's best friend! I think they are just desparate to talk about something, since Felipe and Letizia have successfully avoided the press on the second phase of their honeymoon.

It seems that once one eligible (Crown) Prince is married, there is a need by the media to appoint a new "hot" single and eligible bachelor or bachelorette. At the Spanish wedding it seems that Telma Ortiz has picked up this "honour." At the Dutch wedding in April it was Mabel's sister Nicoline. And I guess at the Danish wedding it was Mary's best friend and bridsemaid Amber Petty, who was reportedly invited by Frederik's cousin Gustav to Germany.

Maybe Telma, Nicoline and Amber can form a special support group!

Could anyone please explain why Ana Togares did not attend the royal wedding? Thank you. :flower:

 

[hrhcp]

Isn't it a rule that only the paternal parents attend, at such formal functions ?

 

[xicamaluca]

She was invited, but she decided not to go. Thast would create difficulties in the protocol

 

[paloma]

Thank you for answering.

 

[carlota]

a correction: her surname is togores not togares.

some people said she had some king of favouritism in the island because of being the sister of the princess. she was able to sleep in the consulate that night, while others can't. they also gave her a car for her private use in the island.

Does someone know how old Telma is?

Does someone know how old Telma is?

I understand she's celebrated 31 years old last 26th October.

This one is funny All the men look at her while passing by.

Speaking as a man, it makes perfect sense to me...Also the fact that she is merely walking down the street and working for an NGO and being photographed. Curiousity perhaps as well.

 

[Merca]

I was amazed to see how similar Telma and Letizia look. They even seem to have the same poise all the time. Judging from the pics, Letizia is undoubtedly the beauty of the family, but Telma is only an inch behind.
