Image Source: Getty / Carlos Alvarez King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain have been married for more than 13 years, and while the royal couple is solid, their relationship didn't start that smoothly. Back in 2002, Queen Letizia was just k**wn as Letizia Ortiz Rocasola**, an international journalist working for Televisiأ³n Espaأ±ola, anchoring the evening news and reporting from abroad on disasters like the terrorist attack in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 and the war in Iraq. Then Prince Felipe must have been a fan of the news because rumor has it he asked a journalist friend, Pedro Erquicia, to set up a dinner and invite Letizia so the two could meet. While reports say Letizia handed over her number to the prince, the two didn't start dating for a few more months. Related From Her Engagement to 2017, This Is Queen Letizia of Spain's Style Evolution Things got serious in the following years while the couple dated in secret, and on **v. 1, 2003, the Spanish royal family shocked the country by an**uncing the prince's engagement to Letizia. But the marriage could have never happened: Letizia was **t only a commoner, becoming the first woman with ** royal blood to be in the line of succession for the Spanish crown, but she was also divorced. The journalist had been married to Alonso Guerrero Pأ©rez until 1999. While some didn't approve of the engagement, Prince Felipe's parents, Queen Sofأ*a and King Juan Carlos, stood by the couple, although there was a bigger issue. If Letizia's previous marriage had been performed by the Catholic church, the Vatican would have had to extend a special permission that allowed her to marry Felipe. Luckily, Letizia's previous marriage had only been a civil ceremony, and the couple officially wed at the Catedral de Santa Marأ*a la Real de la Almudena in Madrid on May 22, 2004. **w the Queen - King Juan Carlos abdicated the crown to King Felipe in 2014 - admired for her fashion sense, she has two daughters with Felipe, Princess Leo**r and Infanta Sofأ*a.
