Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (born 15 September 1972) is Queen of Spain, the wife of King Felipe VI. She came from a middle-class family and worked as a journalist for ABC and EFE before becoming a news anchor at CNN+ and Televisión Española. In 2004, she married Felipe, then Prince of Asturias and heir apparent to the Spanish throne. Their daughters, Leonor and Sofía, were born in 2005 and 2007 respectively. As Princess of Asturias, Letizia represented her father-in-law, King Juan Carlos, in Spain and abroad. On her father-in-law's abdication in June 2014, Felipe and Letizia became king and queen. Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (Oviedo, 15 de septiembre de 1972) es la reina consorte de España por su matrimonio con el rey Felipe VI. Periodista de profesión, es la primera esposa de un rey de España que no pertenece a la realeza, es además la cuarta consorte de un soberano español nacida en España solo después de la archiduquesa Ana de Austria, esposa del rey Felipe II, del infante Francisco de Asís de Borbón, esposo de la reina Isabel II, y de la princesa María de las Mercedes de Orleans, esposa del rey Alfonso XII. Antes de su matrimonio, Letizia ejerció de periodista y trabajó en varios periódicos y cadenas de televisión, siendo presentadora del Telediario de Televisión Española hasta pocos meses antes de casarse con el entonces príncipe Felipe, el 22 de mayo de 2004. BiographyLetizia was born at Miñor Sanatorium at Oviedo, Asturias, the eldest daughter of Jesús José Ortiz Álvarez, a journalist, and his first wife, María de la Paloma Rocasolano Rodríguez, a registered nurse and hospital union representative.[2] She has two younger sisters, Telma (b. 1973) and Érika (1975–2007), whose death was widely reported by press as due to an intentional prescription drug overdose. She was baptised in the Catholic Church on 29 September 1972, in Oviedo. Her parents divorced in 1999 and her father remarried. Letizia's paternal grandmother was a radio broadcaster in Asturias for over 40 years. Reports have suggested – and remain unproven – that on her paternal grandfather's side, Letizia is a descendant of an untitled family descended from medieval nobility who served as constables of Castile. Her maternal grandfather was of French and Occitan origin, and her maternal grandmother was born in the Philippines to Filipino and Spanish parents. Letizia completed a bachelor's degree in journalism, at the Complutense University of Madrid, as well as a master's degree in audiovisual journalism at the Institute for Studies in Audiovisual Journalism. During her studies, Letizia worked for the Asturian daily newspaper La Nueva España and later for the newspaper ABC and the news agency EFE. After completing her master's degree, she travelled to Guadalajara, Mexico, where she worked at the newspaper Siglo 21 and began work toward a PhD. She did not, however, complete her doctoral thesis because she returned to Spain. After returning to Spain, she worked for the Spanish version of the economic channel Bloomberg before moving to the news network CNN+. Letizia married Alonso Guerrero Pérez (born in 1962), a writer and a high-school literature teacher, on 7 August 1998, in a simple civil ceremony at Almendralejo, in Badajoz, after a 10-year courtship. The marriage was dissolved by divorce in 1999. In 2000, she moved to TVE, where she started working for the news channel 24 Horas. In 2002, she anchored the weekly news report programme Informe Semanal and later the daily morning news programme Telediario Matinal on TVE 1. In August 2003, a few months before her engagement to Felipe, Letizia was promoted to anchor of the TVE daily evening news programme Telediario 2, the most viewed newscast in Spain. On 1 November 2003, to the surprise of many, the Royal Household announced Letizia's engagement to Felipe, then Prince of Asturias. Afterwards, she moved to live in a wing of the Zarzuela Palace until the day of her wedding. The Prince of Asturias had proposed to her with a 16-baguette diamond engagement ring with a white gold trim. She marked the occasion by giving him white gold and sapphire cufflinks and a classic book. The wedding took place on 22 May 2004 in the Cathedral Santa María la Real de la Almudena in Madrid. It was the first royal wedding in this cathedral. It had been nearly a century since the capital celebrated a royal wedding, as the prince's parents married in Athens, and his sisters, Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina, married in Seville and Barcelona respectively. Letizia's bridal gown was designed by Spanish fashion designer Manuel Pertegaz, her bridal shoes by Pura López; and the veil, a gift from Felipe to his bride, was made of off-white silk tulle and hand-embroidered with detailing. As Letizia's previous marriage involved only a civil ceremony, the Catholic Church does not consider it canonically valid and therefore did not require an annulment to proceed with a Catholic marriage to the Prince of Asturias. Letizia and Felipe have two daughters: Leonor, Princess of Asturias, born on 31 October 2005; and Infanta Sofía, born on 29 April 2007. They were born at Ruber International Hospital in Madrid. As Princess of Asturias, Letizia immediately joined in the duties of her husband and traveled extensively through Spain representing her father-in-law. They also represented Spain in other countries: she has traveled along with her husband to Jordan, Mexico, Peru, Hungary, the Dominican Republic, Panama, the United States of America, Serbia, Brazil, Uruguay, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, China, and Portugal. She also greeted international dignitaries, along with other members of the royal family, and attended gatherings of foreign royalty in Luxembourg, for the silver wedding anniversary of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, and in the Netherlands for the 40th birthday of the Prince of Orange. Her solo agenda was announced in 2006, shortly after the announcement of her second pregnancy. Letizia has performed a couple of audiences and her work focuses on social issues such as children rights, culture, and education. In late 2007, her solo agenda started to grow in the quantity of events she performed by herself and Felipe's and Letizia's agendas became more distinct and separate. Letizia supported Spanish designers, from couturiers such as Felipe Varela and Lorenzo Caprile to Zara and Mango, and continues to as queen consort. On 19 June 2014, Letizia became Queen of Spain; as such, she holds the style of Majesty. She is the first Spanish-born queen consort since Mercedes of Orléans, the first wife of Alfonso XII, in 1878. She is also the first Spanish queen to have been born as a commoner. Queen Letizia undertook her first solo engagement as queen on 23 June 2014 at the inauguration of the El Greco and modern painting exhibition at the National Prado museum in Madrid. In 2015, Letizia was named Special Ambassador for Nutrition for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Letizia and Felipe and the princesses reside at the same residence where they have lived since 2004. It is stated that the Palace of Zarzuela is a working place only for Felipe. At the time of her marriage to Prince Felipe, Letizia was appointed to the Grand Cross of the Royal and Distinguished Order of Charles III as dame on 21 May 2004. Since then, Letizia has received different appointments and decorations by foreign states and other Spanish honours.

Los padres de Letizia estuvieron casados desde 1971 hasta su divorcio en 1999, y tuvieron dos hijas más: Telma economista que trabajó para Médicos sin Fronteras y como subdirectora de Relaciones Internacionales en el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (de 2009 a 2012), y Érika, que trabajó como interiorista y diseñadora gráfica de la productora Globomedia. La abuela paterna de Letizia Ortiz, Menchu Álvarez del Valle, fue locutora de radio en Asturias durante más de 40 años. El 29 de septiembre de 1972 fue bautizada en la Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís de Oviedo. Recibió la Educación General Básica en el Colegio público La Gesta de Oviedo y continuó sus estudios en el Instituto Alfonso II, a la vez que recibía clases de ballet tres días a la semana. Debido al trabajo de su padre, toda la familia tuvo que trasladarse a vivir a la localidad de Rivas-Vaciamadrid por lo que Letizia Ortiz, que contaba con 15 años, prosiguió su formación en el Instituto Ramiro de Maeztu. Tras terminar el bachillerato, Ortiz se matriculó en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, en la que se licenció en Ciencias de la Información, rama de periodismo. Todavía en la facultad, empezó a colaborar con el diario ABC y con la Agencia EFE, integrándose en el área de política internacional de ésta durante el último año de carrera. Más tarde, entre 1992 y 1993, realizó prácticas como becaria en el periódico La Nueva España de Oviedo, dedicándose a las áreas de economía, televisión y espectáculos. A continuación obtuvo un máster en información audiovisual y viajó a Guadalajara (México) para comenzar sus estudios de doctorado (que no terminó) y trabajar en el diario Siglo 21. El 7 de agosto de 1998, Letizia Ortiz y Alonso Guerrero Pérez, profesor de Lengua y Literatura en el Instituto Ramiro de Maeztu de Madrid, en el que ella había estudiado, contrajeron matrimonio civil en el Salón de Plenos del Ayuntamiento de Almendralejo, Badajoz, tras un noviazgo de cerca de diez años. Letizia y Alonso se divorciaron en 1999. Letizia Ortiz empezó a trabajar en televisión en CNN, un canal privado de noticias del Grupo PRISA. También trabajó antes, de 1997 a 1999, en la cadena estadounidense Bloomberg TV, otro canal privado, especializado en economía, finanzas y mercados, con sede en España, bajo la supervisión de la Agencia EFE Televisión. Letizia Ortiz recibió en 2000 el Premio Mariano José de Larra que concede la Asociación de la Prensa de Madrid por su labor como Mejor periodista menor de 30 años. Se incorporó en 2000 a la televisión pública estatal, Televisión Española, donde se hizo cargo de la presentación de Informe semanal en verano, y posteriormente trabajó con el equipo de edición de Telediario segunda edición, que alcanzaba audiencias de cuatro millones de personas a partir de 2003. También presentó el Telediario matinal, los especiales sobre el euro que se ofrecieron en los Telediarios de TVE y fue enviada especial a diferentes puntos de todo el mundo para cubrir acontecimientos de actualidad, como los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001, el hundimiento del Prestige o la invasión de Irak. Meses antes del anuncio de compromiso con el Príncipe, comenzó a copresentar el Telediario con más audiencia de TVE, la segunda edición. La Casa de Su Majestad el Rey de España anunció el 1 de noviembre de 2003 el compromiso matrimonial de la periodista con el Príncipe de Asturias, Felipe de Borbón. Tal anuncio fue una auténtica sorpresa para la opinión pública y los medios de comunicación, ya que se desconocía que hubiese cualquier tipo de relación entre ambos. La petición de mano se produjo el 6 de noviembre de 2003 en el Palacio Real de El Pardo y a la que acudieron la familia Borbón-Grecia y la Ortiz-Rocasolano al completo. La boda de Estado se celebró el 22 de mayo de 2004 en la Catedral de Santa María la Real de La Almudena de Madrid. Al acontecimiento asistieron representantes de 12 casas reales reinantes y otros 12 pertenecientes a casas reales no reinantes. En este momento, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano se convirtió, de acuerdo al Real Decreto sobre títulos, tratamientos y honores de la Familia Real, en princesa de Asturias. El matrimonio tiene dos hijas: -Leonor, princesa de Asturias (31 de octubre de 2005) primera en la línea sucesoria de la Corona española. -Infanta Sofía de España (29 de abril de 2007) segunda en la línea de sucesión al trono español. Recibió el nombre de su abuela paterna, la reina Sofía. La princesa se unió a las funciones de su marido y viajó extensamente por España en representación del rey Juan Carlos, participando en numerosos actos oficiales. También viajó fuera de España en nombre de la Corona: junto con el entonces príncipe, visitó Jordania, México, Perú, Hungría, la República Dominicana, Panamá, Estados Unidos, Serbia, Brasil, Uruguay, Suecia, Dinamarca, Japón, China y Portugal. En estos viajes tuvo ocasión de reunirse con dignatarios internacionales, junto a otros miembros de la familia real. Letizia asistió a las reuniones de la realeza europea en Luxemburgo, con ocasión de las bodas de plata del gran duque Enrique y la gran duquesa Teresa, y en Holanda en el 40 cumpleaños del príncipe de Orange. También asistió, en compañía de su esposo, a los esponsales de la princesa Victoria de Suecia y el príncipe Daniel, a los de Guillermo de Cambridge y Catalina y a los del heredero de Luxemburgo, entre otros muchos eventos. Su agenda en solitario comenzó en 2006, poco después del anuncio de su segundo embarazo. A finales de 2007, su agenda propia comenzó a crecer y a diferenciarse de la del príncipe Felipe, participando en numerosos eventos y actos en solitario a partir de entonces. La princesa mostró su interés en temas sociales como las enfermedades raras, la lucha contra el cáncer y la promoción y difusión de la cultura. El 2 de junio de 2014, el presidente del gobierno Mariano Rajoy anunció la abdicación del rey Juan Carlos I en su hijo el príncipe Felipe, por lo que Letizia Ortiz se convirtió en reina de España el 19 de junio de 2014, día en que Felipe VI fue proclamado rey.
Letizia Ortiz, para el acto de proclamación llevaba el lazo de la gran cruz de la Orden de Carlos III, de la que es dama desde su enlace en 2004.

Leslie Caron was born in Boulogne-sur-Seine, Seine (now Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine), the daughter of Margaret, a Franco-American dancer on Broadway, and Claude Caron, a French chemist, pharmacist, perfumer, and boutique owner. While her older brother Aimery Caron became a chemist like their father, Leslie was prepared for a performing career from childhood by her mother.
Caron started her career as a ballerina. Gene Kelly discovered her in the Roland Petit company Ballet des Champs Elysées and cast her to appear opposite him in the musical, An American in Paris (1951). This role led to a long-term MGM contract and a sequence of films which included the musical, The Glass Slipper (1955), and the drama, The Man with a Cloak (1951), with Joseph Cotten and Barbara Stanwyck.
In September 1951, Caron married American George Hormel II, a grandson of the founder of the Hormel meat-packing company. During that period, while under contract to MGM, she lived in Laurel Canyon in a Normandie style 1927 mansion near the country store on Laurel Canyon Blvd. One bedroom was all mirrored for her dancing rehearsals.
She starred in the successful musicals Lili (1953), with Mel Ferrer for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Caron then starred in more musicals like Daddy Long Legs (1955), with Fred Astaire; and Gigi (1958) with Louis Jourdan and Maurice Chevalier.
Caron and her first husband George Hormel II divorced in 1954. She married British theatre director Peter Hall in 1956 and had two children with him: Christopher John Hall (TV producer) in 1957 and Jennifer Caron Hall, a writer, painter, and actress, in 1958.
When she and Hall divorced in 1965, Warren Beatty(with whom Leslie Caron had been having an affair) was named as a co-respondent and was ordered by the London court to pay the costs of the case.
For her performance in the British drama, The L-Shaped Room (1962), she won the BAFTA Award for Best British Actress and the Golden Globe, and was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.
In the 1960s and thereafter, Caron worked in European films as well. Her later film assignments included Father Goose (1964), with Cary Grant; Ken Russell's Valentino (1977), in the role of silent-screen legend Alla Nazimova; and Louis Malle's Damage (1992).

In 1989, Caron was a member of the jury at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival, after which she decided to move back to France after almost 40 years living as foreigner to make films in her own country.
From 1994 to 1995 she was romantically linked to Dutch television actor Robert Wolders(last life partner of Audrey Hepburn).
From June 1993 until September 2009, Caron owned and operated the hotel and restaurant, Auberge la Lucarne aux Chouettes (The Owls' Nest), in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, about 130 km (80 mi) south of Paris.

On 30 June 2003, Caron traveled to San Francisco to appear as the special guest star in The Songs of Alan Jay Lerner: I Remember It Well, a retrospective concert staged by San Francisco's 42nd Street Moon Company. In 2007, her guest appearance on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit earned her a Primetime Emmy Award.
On 27 April 2009, Caron traveled to New York as an honored guest at a tribute to Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe at the Paley Center for Media.
The same year, her long awaited memoir Thank Heaven was published.

Biographie
Née de l'union d'un père français, Jean-Claude Caron, pharmacien, et d'une mère américaine, Margaret Petit, elle-même danseuse à Broadway et native de Seattle, Leslie Caron commence des études de danse classique à Paris à l’âge de 9 ans.
Entrée à 16 ans dans la troupe des ballets des Champs-Élysées de Roland Petit, elle tient, en 1948, le rôle du Sphinx dans le ballet de David Lichine La Rencontre, où elle est découverte par Gene Kelly qui est dans la salle et la choisit comme partenaire pour le film qu'il prépare avec Vincente Minnelli, Un Américain à Paris (1951).
Ne parlant pas anglais et n'ayant jamais joué devant une caméra, elle trouve le tournage difficile. Il fallait entre autres danser sur un sol en ciment qui faisait mal aux jambes et aux hanches. Elle trouve en revanche Gene Kelly d'une précision mathématique avec l'imaginaire d'un enfant.
L’énorme succès public et critique d'Un Américain à Paris lui ouvre les portes de Hollywood. Elle décroche un contrat avec la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), pour laquelle elle tourne notamment:
Après une dernière grande production américaine, Fanny (1961), adaptation de la célèbre Trilogie marseillaise de Marcel Pagnol et de sa version musicale créée à Broadway en 1954, la comédienne apparaît dans quelques superproductions, comme Paris brûle-t-il ? (1966) de René Clément, mais surtout dans des films plus intimistes ou d'auteurs comme Jeux d'adultes (1967) de Nanni Loy, Sérail (1976) d'Eduardo de Gregorio, L'Homme qui aimait les femmes (1977) de François Truffaut ou bien encore La Diagonale du fou (1984) de Richard Dembo.
Coprésidente du jury de la Berlinale 1989, elle choisit de revenir s'installer en France après 40 ans passés à l'étranger afin de refaire du cinéma dans son pays d'origine mais reçoit peu de propositions. À l’affiche en 2001 dans Le Chocolat de Lasse Hallström aux côtés de Juliette Binoche, elle s'installe à Londres en janvier 2013. La même année, elle joue Suzanne de Persand dans Le Divorce de James Ivory, puis participe à Justice en accusation, un épisode écrit pour elle de la série télévisée américaine New York, unité spéciale, et qui lui permet de remporter l'Emmy de la meilleure actrice invitée dans une série dramatique en 2007.
Son étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame est dévoilée le 8 décembre 2009 sur Hollywood Boulevard, entre celles de Gene Kelly et Louis Jourdan. En février 2010, elle joue sur la scène du théâtre du Châtelet à Paris le rôle de Madame Armfeldt dans la comédie musicale A Little Night Music de Stephen Sondheim, inspirée du film Sourires d'une nuit d'été d'Ingmar Bergman. Elle retrouve en 2016 un rôle important à l'écran : celui d'une aristocrate excentrique dans la série télévisée britannique The Durrells sous la direction de son fils, Christopher Hall.
Leslie Caron a été mariée trois fois :
Alors qu'elle est mariée avec Peter Hall, elle rencontre à un dîner organisé pour fêter sa nomination aux Oscars pour La Chambre indiscrète en 1963 l'acteur Warren Beatty qui est un de ses grands admirateurs. Ils entament alors une liaison qui durera au moins deux ans. Elle a ouvert et tenu durant quinze ans le restaurant de cuisine traditionnelle « La Lucarne aux chouettes » à Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, celui-ci a été revendu en 2010. Elle louait près de là le Moulin-Neuf de Chaumot, qui avait appartenu au prince François-Xavier de Saxe (1730-1806). Further intreste
