About the Book

¿Qué significa ser reina en el siglo XXI?

Este perfil biográfico presenta por primera vez a Letizia Ortiz con todas sus fortalezas y contradicciones: su búsqueda incesante de la perfección, el descontento perpetuo con sí misma, sus ansias de controlarlo todo, pero también su ímpetu, audacia y rebeldía. La vida de la mujer que en menos de diez años pasó de un bloque de apartamentos en Oviedo a ser presentadora de televisión en Madrid y que acabó siendo princesa y reina de España. Tras cinco años y más de cien entrevistas, Leonardo Faccio radiografía la personalidad de la reina, una periodista que renuncia a su profesión pero no a sus batallas personales para ser parte de una monarquía en crisis que quiere modernizarse para sobrevivir.
