The end of the year is difficult for Letizia from Spain and her feet have said stop. The Queen of Spain will soon have to go to the hospital to undergo a delicate operation to relieve chronic foot pain because of a Morton's neuroma.
It is a very debilitating condition which has many disrupted his daily life in recent months. The proof was sometimes absent and even had to be leaving certain official events prematurely.
Letizia from Spain has an illness that does not go unnoticed
The Morton's neuroma is also known as “pebble in the shoe” and it causes intense pain and numbness in the metatarsals of the feet. And the recent public appearances of Letizia of Spain had already sowed doubt about one issue. For example, during a trip to the Netherlands, she received guests sitting on a chairwhile the other people remained standing.
A similar scene also occurred at Palma de Majorque. So, everyone was wondering about his state of health. The verdict is finally in, putting an end to doubt. THE Morton's neuroma is often linked to the intensive use of high heels. The latter have always been the faithful allies of the sovereign to compensate for the difference in size with Felipe VI who is 1.97 m tall.
The former journalist and television presenter, however, tried everything to avoid the operation :
infiltrations, medical sessions… but nothing was enough. Letizia of Spain therefore resolved to listen to your medical team and will take a break from his role as queen of podiums and parquet floors.
An urgent and discreet intervention
According to the Spanish media Guysthe royal family would have taken all the necessary measures to guarantee the maximum of discretion during this delicate intervention. An entire floor of a clinic in Madrid was reserved just for the Queen for him ensure privacy and security.
However, this is the start of a long journey for Letizia from Spain. If the operation can reduce pain, it will not be able to not completely eradicate this evil. In addition, she suffers from another problem with her feet: chronic metatarsalgiawhich is also worsened by prolonged use of unsuitable shoes. In 2024, the crowned heads were definitely under pressure, between the problems of
health of Charles III and Kate Middleton, and now those of the Queen of Spain. So even queens sometimes have to trade their heels for more comfortable shoes.
