On the eve of fifty years, which will turn next September, there queen of Spain she has put aside the dyes and has been preferring a salt and pepper look for months now that does not detract from the beauty of all time.
There gray hair revolution had started during the first lockdown, in 2020. When no woman had the opportunity to go to the hairdresser, Letizia Ortiz had no exceptions, sending a strong signal to the Spaniards. As banal as it could be, in fact, a hair dye in such a delicate moment for many, sooner or later someone would have noticed it, finding a foothold to attack the monarchy, which (it is known) does not enjoy great sympathy in Spain. Letizia, on the other hand, appearing in public with her white hair gave a strong signal: not a queen on a pedestal, but a woman grappling with everyone’s problems.

After the most acute phase of the emergency, Letizia Ortiz’s white hair continues to fill the pages of the Spanish press; in the end, in short, the undyed one caused more sensation than the usual color would have done. It is undeniable that now his is a precise choice and no longer the consequence of external factors. There are, moreover, many women who in recent months have decided to put aside color retouching, no longer afraid of showing what until a few years ago was seen as damaging to her own femininitythe end of youth as a shame and not as an acceptance of a new phase of life.

For Letizia Ortiz, however, this change of pace would also seem to have another value. After almost eight years as a queen alongside her husband Felipe VI (the anniversary of the accession to the throne will be next June 18, ed) the former journalist he has nothing more to prove.
Welcomed in the Bourbon house without too much fuss, but only for a quiet life – “Either I’m marrying Letizia or I’m not marrying”the famous phrase pronounced by the then prince of Asturias in front of his mother Sofia, certain that “Princess is born, not made” – Letizia can afford to make any choice, including that of not dyeing her hair anymore.
Everything about her gossip has passed to X-rays, from low-cost choices in terms of clothes to thinness, considered excessive. Past the most critical years, those in which she had to study since royal, it is more itself than it ever was and can afford any choice on the beauty front. Whether it is definitive or temporary, it is up to you to decide, and this is the real achievement, because in terms of beauty, as in many other fields, there are no right or wrong choices, but only those that are considered right for themselves.
