He has been heavily involved in the mission to serve his people the best he can. At the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Felipe competed in sailing and was the flag bearer for his country’s team.
When he was doing all this, his future wife, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, was working as a journalist. She earned two degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from the Complutense University of Madrid and a Master’s Degree in Audiovisual Journalism from the Institute for Audiovisual Journalism Studies. Letizia became a much-known and much-loved face in Spain. As the anchor for the nightly news program Telediario, she even covered the 2000 U.S presidential election.
In general, she has had a very successful career in her field when she first met the future king.
Apparently, Felipe wanted to meet Letizia directly and he managed to get to her through a mutual journalist friend. She then gave him her number but they didn’t start dating until few months later.
Initially, they kept their relationship a secret, yet the public learned they were dating after they were spotted vacationing together in Felipe’s royal residence in Mallorca.
