The unfolding sca-dal surrounding Queen Letizia has not only cast a shadow over the Spanish royal family but has also intricately entangled her sister, Telma Ortiz, in its web of rumors and speculations.
Allegations of a secret affair between Queen Letizia and Jaime del Burgo, purportedly transpiring between 2011 and 2012, have gripped the public's attention. The controversial information, initially divulged by writer Jaime Peñafiel, claimed to have been obtained directly from the alleged lover himself, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding royal drama.
In a surprising twist, it was revealed that Telma Ortiz, Queen Letizia's sister, married Jaime del Burgo in 2013. Conflicting narratives surround the end of the alleged love affair, with some suggesting it concluded after the marriage, while others propose it was a strategic move to provide the monarch with an excuse to spend more time with her supposed secret love.
However, breaking her usual silence with the media, Telma Ortiz shared a brief but forceful show of support for her sister. When intercepted on the street by a Europa Press reporter, Ortiz expressed her admiration for Queen Letizia, stating, "I do too a lot," when asked about people's love for the queen. Pressed further about her sister, she emphatically responded, "She is the best," offering a rare glimpse into the usually private royal family dynamics.
Telma Ortiz's decision to break her silence and express support for Queen Letizia holds significant weight, considering her tendency to avoid interactions with the press. Notoriously private, Ortiz has even taken legal action against over 50 journalists to prevent them from discussing her personal life.
This gesture of support from Queen Letizia's sister emerges at a crucial time, as divorce rumors and public rejection by the crown swirl around the queen.
