After a disappeared Christmas and with the obsession of showing a low profile that lately moves the kings, Surely Doña Letizia would never have wanted to talk about the anecdote she starred yesterday in an act as solemn as military Easter. And is that with the monarchs already in the rosty of the royal palace patio, Don Felipe realized that something had fallen to his wife, he bent down to pick him up and discreetly handed it to the queen, who hid him In your hands. It was raining on wet, since in his official trip to Sweden last November, another stir was also armed when at the reception they offered the Kings Carlos Gustavo and Silvia, Dona Letizia opened her purse, scattering all her belongings.
But this time the thing was more serious, since that something that Don Felipe found on the floor was nothing less than the most legendary hahase of the royal jeweler, the so-called pearl pilgrim (actually the false pilgrim) that is part of the famous lot of Spend, inheritance of Victoria Eugenia, and that Doña Letizia premiered at the 2017 National Festival.
If already it is anecdotal that a jewel is distracted, it has much more morbid if it is the false pilgrim, given the malefic legend that accompanies his name. The authentic pilgrim, a unique piece of 55.95 carats in the form of pear, was discovered in the sixteenth century in an archipelago of Panama and the native itself that he found her was horrified by believing in her the shape of a tear, so that augured great misfortunes to who owned it.
He was acquired by Felipe II and curiously two of his wives who showed her died soon. With the reign of José Bonaparte, the pilgrim emphasized in France and was then sold by Napoleon III to finance the arrival of him to power. Afterwards, Alfonso XIII supposedly acquired it as a wedding gift for Victoria Eugenia, who took her on her liaison day, in which she was about to die because of the bomb released at the passage of her carriage through the anarchist Mateo Morros . The sovereign always felt fascinated by her pilgrim, despite the black legend she dragged, and that her very existence was tragic, given the hemophilia that she transmitted to her children and rejected that this caused in King Alfonso XIII towards his wife.
However, as reflected Ramiro Ansorena, a supplier firm of the royal house, in the book the jeweler of the Snow Queen Herrero, it seems that the pearl acquired by the monarch was not the true pilgrim, but another similar one, since the authentic was Acquired on auction by actor Richard Burton for Liz Taylor. Interestingly, the aforementioned book starts in 2014, when Doña Letizia contemplates Victoria Eugenia jewels after the proclamation of Don Felipe and the advisors of her alert against false pilgrim. "She is part of those considered damn pearls, ma'am," she prevents her stylist Eva Fernández.
Curious coincidence also that yesterday the tense moment lived by Doña Letizia had as a protagonist to the alhaja "damn" in question, since she had been lost or if someone had taken her a good mess. Superstitions aside, in the end everything was in a scare and the false pilgrim held on a brilliant brooch returned to shine on the queen's chest on her wild silk blue dress.
Almost as much as he highlighted the piercing of brilliant that the wife of Don Felipe Lucia in his left ear and who has earned a lot of media attention, including foreigners, such as the Gala magazine of France, where they call Doña Letizia the "Queen Rock and roll ".
