Carmen Calvo speaking with José María Aznar. Felipe González and Miquel Roca. Or the Queen greeting Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo. These are images only seen at celebrations like the one held this Tuesday in the Congress of Deputies, where all the institutions of the State come together to commemorate an anniversary. This Tuesday's event was special, as the Senate and Congress convened jointly to reaffirm that the 1978 Constitution is the longest-lasting in Spanish history. The Speaker of the Congress, Francina Armengol, offered words of praise, calling for everyone to "honor" the Constitution and "not let their guard down" in ensuring its effectiveness, while King Felipe VI affirmed that the path has been "brilliant" and will continue to be so "if we keep writing it." However, the attendance at the event alone suggests that this "together" journey has many nuances.

When Letícia discovered that in the most serious matters—those that could truly entail substantial changes for the institution—she wouldn't be able to command as much as she would like, she decided that within her restricted sphere, she would do whatever it took to make them stand out and, at the same time, create an image of herself as a beautiful woman that would at least save her from the fearful decisions of Palau. The problem is that her scope of action as consort is very small, since it is basically tied to fashion and other issues related to certain stage productions. However, as expected from someone with the journalist's tenacity and intelligence, she has managed to promote a much fresher image of the monarchy, which has meant a radical change in the old-school aesthetics and sociopolitical invisibility of Queen Sofía. The problem with this is that the change she has implemented works very well for herself but not so much for the other members of the royal family.

Journalist Marta Carazo will present this Friday for the last time the second edition of the Newscast from La 1 and will leave the public corporation to become the new head of Queen Letizia's secretariat. She also headed the main news program on public television from 2001 to 2003. Carazo's decision was announced by RTVE through a press release, stating that the journalist is leaving public television "to begin a new professional project," about which no further details were given.

Unlike Lluís Llach, I believe very well that the Spanish monarchs went to Montserrat. No, no, please, readers! Wait! Don't rush to unsubscribe! Don't upset our editor this way! Let me explain!

Politics often provides strange traveling companions. And if you don't believe it, ask the Pope Leo XIV, who for his proclamation Mass filled St. Peter's Square at the Vatican to the rafters with 200,000 people, including world political leaders of all kinds of attire. Curiously, however, among all the pontiff's colorful guests, few people enjoyed a privilege related to the dress code, which is always monochromatic black when the papal act is solemn. Specifically, these privileged people were the queens of "Catholic countries," who have the privilege of being able to wear white before a pope, an ancient right that surely perhaps they no longer care in the least about, but which the gossip media finds joyful on a workday in which the main story consists solely of explaining something. so horny like a mass.

"And this is news?" is the question we often see in the comments on news stories about tabloids and pop culture. And, obviously, these aren't news stories that make the front pages of newspapers, but they are issues we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar. And this is what we do in this podcast: we go to a venue to review some news from the social chronicle that serves not only to keep up with the most important gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship, and breakups.

Queen Letizia has taken advantage of a privilege only a few consorts in the world have: wearing white in front of the Pope. Three weeks after attending Pope Francis' funeral this Sunday, both she and Felipe VI have traveled to Rome for the Inauguration of the new pontificate of Leo XIV in the Piazza Sant'Etienne in the Vatican. However, it was the Queen's attire that has become the center of attention, as only six women in the world have been allowed to wear the color white.

Three months after the Bank of Spain opened its doors to the controversial Real portraits by Annie Leibovitz, this Wednesday morning the kings visited the works with the internationally renowned photographer. The event was also attended by a small group of press who witnessed the response of Felipe and Letizia when they saw Leibovitz's creation for the first time. Even so, neither of them wanted to comment on the American's work, some portraits that at the time of being made public in November generated a great controversy due to speculation about the message that Leibovitz had wanted to convey.
