Were people not happy with the marriage of Prince Felipe and Letizia Ortiz?

Prince Felipe and Letizia Ortiz's marriage in 2004 was met with mixed reactions. While many Spaniards celebrated the union of the future king and a commoner, some were critical due to Letizia's background as a divorced journalist, which was controversial in a traditionally conservative monarchy. Over time, however, public sentiment has largely shifted, and they have become a well-regarded royal couple.
