The unexpected piercing of Queen Letizia and the fall of her most valuable (and cursed) jewel: the anecdotes of Military Easter
After a few Christmases missing and with the obsession of showing a low profile that lately moves the King and Queen, surely Doña Letizia would never have wanted to cause people to talk about the anecdote that she starred in yesterday in an act as solemn as Military Easter . And it is that with the Monarchs already in the gallery of the Patio de Armas of the Royal Palace, Don Felipe realized that something had fallen from his wife, he bent down to pick it up and discreetly handed it to the Queen, who hid it In your hands. It rained on the wet, since on her official trip to Sweden last November, another commotion was also caused when at the reception offered to the kings Carlos Gustavo and Silvia, Doña Letizia's bag opened, spilling all her belongings on the floor. belongings.
But this time things were more serious, since that something that Don Felipe found on the ground was nothing less than the most legendary jewel of the royal jeweler, the so-called Peregrina pearl (actually the false Peregrina) that is part of the famous batch of pass, inheritance of Victoria Eugenia, and that Doña Letizia premiered on the National holiday of 2017.
If it is already anecdotal that the Queen is distracted by a jewel, it is much more morbid if it is the false Pilgrim, given the evil legend that accompanies her name. The authentic Peregrina, a unique piece of 55.95 carats in the shape of a pear, was discovered in the 16th century in an archipelago of Panama and the same native who found it was horrified to believe that he saw in it the shape of a teardrop, so which predicted great misfortunes to whoever possessed it.
It was purchased by Felipe II and curiously two of his wives who wore it died soon. With the reign of José Bonaparte, the Pilgrim arrived in France and was later sold by Napoleon III to finance his rise to power. Later, Alfonso XIII supposedly acquired it as a wedding present for Victoria Eugenia, who took it with him on the day of their marriage, when she was about to die from the bomb thrown at the passage of her carriage by the anarchist Mateo Morral. The sovereign was always fascinated by her Pilgrim, despite the black legend that she carried, and that her very existence was tragic, given the hemophilia that she transmitted to her children and the rejection that this caused in King Alfonso XIII towards his wife.

However, according to Ramiro Ansorena, a supplier firm for the Royal House, in the book El joyero de la Reina de Nieves Herrero, it seems that the pearl acquired by the monarch was not the real Peregrina, but rather another similar one, since the real one was purchased at auction by actor Richard Burton for Liz Taylor. Curiously, the aforementioned book begins in 2014, when Doña Letizia contemplates Victoria Eugenia's jewels after the proclamation of Don Felipe and her advisers alert her against the false Pilgrim. "It is part of what is considered cursed pearls, Madam," warns her stylist Eva Fernández.
It is also a curious coincidence that yesterday the tense moment experienced by Doña Letizia had the "cursed" jewel in question as its protagonist, since if it had been lost or if someone had stolen it, there would have been quite a mess. Superstitions aside, in the end everything was frightened and the false Pilgrim Girl, fastened in a diamond brooch, shone again on the Queen's chest over her wild blue silk dress.
Almost as much as the diamond piercing that Don Felipe's wife wore in her left ear stood out and that has attracted a lot of media attention, including foreign ones, such as the magazine Gala de Francia, where Doña Letizia is called la "rock and roll queen".
