QuoteWhen Letizia Ortiz was born to a journalist father and a nurse mother on 15 September 1972, no one would have guessed that the Asturian girl was to marry Spain's then prince and eventually become queen.

Being one of Spain's leading journalists and newscasters, the pretty brunette knew only too well that she herself would become the main story as soon as her secret relationship with King Felipe became public.

Prior to falling for the statuesque prince, she proved herself professionally by reporting from some of the world's most hostile environments. During the invasion of Iraq, she flew out to the country and broadcasted live from the frontlines. She has also tackled complex and delicate stories such as the US presidential elections and the September 11 attacks.

But it was in November 2002 when she was sent to northern Spain to cover the sinking of an oil tanker that she fell for the prince of Asturias. The successful journalist managed to keep their relationship under the radar for many months.

For the occasion, she wore a figure-hugging floral dress with nude heels, showing once again that the mother-of-two can give the Duchess of Cambridge a run for her money as Europe's most stylish royal.

So as she celebrates another year, FEMAIL round up her other glamorous looks...
