I will not deny that the issue of espionage, and that of the war in the Ukraine, are still the two big TV star topics, but another one has just emerged that is almost displacing them and is causing a curious excitement. I am referring to that beautiful picture, at an awards ceremony in the Extremaduran town of Mérida, where the queen Letizia and one of the winners wore the same model, a delicate black and white garment, from the firm Mango, and which is sold at a price of 49.90 euros.

oh! It is a question of undoubted interest. It is of little relevance that the winner has coincided, without knowing it, with the same clothing as the Queen. It’s just a quaint fluke. Here what is relevant is what the TV news warns: that Mango has already sold out of stock. That is to say, the people have seen the Extremaduran sequence, and with a sweeping illusion they have rushed en masse to buy the model. Today in the afternoon, in ‘Zapeando’ (La Sexta), all the ladies who make the program were dressed in this garment. But she warned them Danny Matthewto be taken into account: “Be careful, that in the eighteenth century cost you your head.” Is right. In that century she was queen consort of France the Polish Mary Carolineand the bedroom historians say that he was about to order the assassination of Madame du Barry not because she slept with her husband, Louis XVbut because he copied the models of his regal dress.
From the queen’s point of view Letizia, it is a good strategy to dress from time to time with clothes of humble price. It’s been in the news lately because, unlike Philip VI, she has not declared her assets. Perhaps this thing about clothes is a way of trying to generate empathy with the common people. From the point of view of the presenters of ‘Zapeando’, they have surely dressed like this with the illusion of becoming, for a little while, queens. He is very naive. Said the professor of bromatology Abel Marine, when he appeared on TV-3 and made his delicious and instructive disclosures, that the great democratization of protein has been chicken. Chicken farms have made protein available to the most modest pockets. The case of the monarchy is different: democratization does not marry royalty. The ladies of ‘Zapeando’, no matter how much they dress like the queen, they are still commoners. Like all of us.
