"Part-time Princess." That's how Spanish media is calling Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, the wife of almost 10 years to Prince Felipe of Asturias. According to reports, the future queen of Spain has an attitude and does not want to be tied to the obligations that come with being part of the royal family. They say Letizia doesn't like to work extra or during weekends and would rather put aside her royal duties and go out with her friends to bars, music festivals and shopping.
The Zarzuela Palace thought they had Letizia's character under control and that her attitude was well tamed, as she had been exposed to the royal lifestyle for a while and was trained on the proper protocol, but apparently this wasn't the case. Additionally, Spain doesn't like the fact that she doesn't know how to treat the people; she's cold, frigid and is not blue-blooded. They also criticize the fact that, according to the Spanish media, she is obsessed with plastic surgery, giving the wrong image of what a princess should be like.
All of this erratic behavior is getting on the prince's -- as well as the Royal Palace's -- nerves, who reportedly can't deal with it anymore. This situation has surfaced allegations that the marriage between the Princess and the Prince of Asturias is on the rocks, and divorce is imminent. Nevertheless, the royal couple tries to maintain appearances and look normal at official events, even holding hands and caressing each other occasionally. But sources close to the couple say it's just an act, and the clauses of the divorce are already written out.
Letizia and Felipe signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they got married, and agreed that in case of a divorce, custody of their kids would be granted to the prince. Letizia won't be on the streets, however. She will get a summer residence in Majorca, like the Marivent palace. So far, the country is waiting for the news of the separation and take the divorce as an inevitability since there has been no official photo of the couple taking their daughters Leonor and Sofia to school, like there usually is at the beginning of the school year.
