"Ortiz may be the commoner, but there ain't nothing common about her! Damn! It's time we paid more attention to the princesses of Europe! When's the next plane to Madrid?"
- Letizia Ortiz
| Date of Birth: September 15 1972 |

| With grace and beauty, Letizia Ortiz has charmed her way into the hearts of the men throughout her home country of Spain, and now, the rest of the world is beginning to take notice. A commoner-turned-future crown princess of Spain, she has become fodder for European newspapers, thanks to her "diamond in the rough" story. We hope the attention continues, as she becomes part of the Spanish monarchy, since this is one princess whose face we don't ever want to forget. |

| As an award-winning news anchorwoman and live reporter for Spanish television stations EFE and TVE, Rocasolano was always a popular personality in Spain. Of course, when news broke of her engagement with Crown Prince Felipe, her stock rose to the sky. Now finished with her journalistic duties, Ortiz is busy dismissing rumors that nude paintings with her likeness depicted on them are not her. Instead of delivering the news, she is making headlines as a stunning, pleasant princess (and queen)-to-be, whether she posed nude or not. |

Born to Jess Ortiz, a journalist and businessman, and Paloma Rocasolano, a nurse and union official, on September 15, 1972, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano grew up in the middle-class city of Oviedo, in the northern region of Asturias, Spain. She is the eldest of three daughters and was the one to show the most interest in her family's "business"; both her father and grandfather had enjoyed decades of success working in journalism.
Being a bright student, however, Letizia decided to try out several programs before picking a career. After finishing secondary school in her hometown, she moved to Madrid to study at the Centre Ramiro de Maetzu. Ortiz finally settled on a major soon after, earning a bachelor's in information sciences at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. An eager pupil, this beauty also received her master's degree in audiovisual journalism.
Instead of searching immediately for a job in Spain, Ortiz decided to travel before settling down. She flew to Mexico to pursue doctorate studies and work for a newspaper in Mexico City. It was there that she was photographed and befriended by an artist named Waldo Saveedra.
After serving as the influence for three of Saveedra's paintings (an action that would come back to haunt her) and serving her time as journalist, Ortiz returned to Spain.
With impressive credentials, she did not have trouble finding a job in her line of work. She began her real journalism career with La Nueva Espaa, an Asturian newspaper. Between this and her efforts at the editing desk of Agencia EFE, Spain's news agency, Ortiz met Alonso Guerrero. After a short relationship, they married, in a civil ceremony, in 1998. The nuptials lasted only one year. |
