Happy birthday, Queen Letizia ! King Felipe ’s stylish wife turned 48 on Sept. 15. Letizia married into the Spanish royal family in 2004. One year after her royal wedding, the former journalist became a mother with the birth of her daughter Princess Leonor , who is now first in line to the Spanish throne. Felipe and Letizia welcomed their second child, Infanta Sofia , in 2007.
In honor of the royal mom of two completing another trip around the sun, HOLA! USA is taking a look at some of Letizia’s best moments with both of her daughters.
