'We will continue contributing to a project that makes us stronger and offers us assurances in a world full of uncertainties. 

'In this framework, the deepening of bilateral relations with our EU partners is also essential.

Who is Queen Letizia of Spain?

The eldest daughter of Jesus Alvarez, a journalist, and his first wife Maria Rodriguez, a nurse, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano was born in Oviedo, northern Spain.

One sister, Telma, became an economist; the other, Erika, committed suicide by taking an overdose while suffering from depression.

Before meeting the heir to the Spanish throne, Letizia enjoyed a lengthy career in TV and newspapers.

She completed a BA in journalism, followed by a masters in audiovisual journalism.

After a stint at Asturian daily paper, La Nueva España, she went on to work for ABC, a popular national newspaper that enjoys the third largest circulation in Spain.

Next came a stint at Spanish news agency EFE before a move to Guadalajara in Mexico saw her take on a role on local paper, Siglo 21.

Back in Spain a year later, she worked for the Spanish version of Bloomberg, a news channel and agency specialising in economics, before moving to CNN+.

Before she met Felipe of Spain, Letizia was married to high school teacher Alonso Guerrero Perez, who was nine years her senior.

The couple wed in 1998 following a ten-year romance - with the pair meeting when the future Spanish queen was just 16.

The couple tied the knot in a civil ceremony in the town of Almendralejo, Badajoz, but divorced the following year after just one year of marriage.

By the time she met her husband-to-be, Felipe in 2002, Letizia was working for popular TV channel 24 Horas, where along with anchoring the popular Telediario 2 evening news bulletin she reported on a wide range of breaking news event - among them the 2000 US presidential elections and the 9/11 attacks.

The couple met when Felipe visited the site of an oil spill, which the journalist was reporting on.  

However, her status as a divorcee caused controversy in Spain ahead of the royal wedding, along with rumours she'd had a secret abortion. 

She was only allowed to marry Felipe in the Catholic Church in 2004 as she had previously  had a civil ceremony with ex-husband Alonso. 

As time wore on she was criticised for being unsmiling on official engagements. Then there was further controversy when she had surgery on her nose in 2008.

The official explanation was that she had a deviated septum which had to be fixed. But commentators were quick to point out that her post-operation nose looked a little daintier too.

Another book, The Court of Felipe VI, published in 2015, alleged that former King Juan Carlos ‘never liked the arrival of a journalist in a place that had traditionally been an opaque haven from the fourth estate’.

Controversy arose earlier this year when footage appeared to show a tense stand-off between the current Queen and her mother-in-law Queen Sofia at mass at Palma Cathedral.
