was once married to her sister.On a flight from Madrid to New York City in November 2012, the book reports, artist Cristobal Toral spotted Queen Letizia traveling with a man believed to be del Burgo.But as Toral passed by the royal on his way to the bathroom, she discreetly hid her face.“The fact that she covered her face made him doubt who it was, even though a relatively short time before they had met each other at the UN Spanish Embassy where they chatted with her demonstrating that she had great admiration for his painting,” writes Peñafiel.“Intrigued, he decided to repeat his trip to the bathroom. When he returned again to his seat, she not only covered her face but turned to face the window.”Peñafiel claims that Felipe, 56, has been left “crushed and destroyed” by his wife’s alleged “betrayal” and “wants to get out” of their marriage.“As far as Felipe goes … the damage is not in the sex with which Letizia has been unfaithful to her husband, but in the ruthless feeling,” the author writes.“Letizia’s Silences” delves into the past of Queen Letizia, a former journalist who was born Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano in Oviedo, Asturias,It tells how she worked as a cigarette seller while living in Mexico, and how Spanish government officials tried to suppress a topless picture of her painted by Cuban artist, Waldo Waldo Saavedra, before her wedding to Felipe.In Peñafiel’s 2023 book “Letizia & I,” del Burgo alleged that he met Letizia Ortiz before 2000, when she was a news anchor.
