Queen Letizia is celebrating after receiving breaking news: the miniseries that tells the story of her relationship with Felipe is a complete success. The drama premiered in 2010 with a reception that foreshadowed the worst. Now, more than a decade later, it has achieved success by becoming one of the most-watched series on Netflix Spain.
Its title reached the top spot in Netflix Spain's daily ranking on June 9, 2025, surprising many regular viewers. Despite its poor start and terrible initial numbers, Netflix has given it a second chance to win over contemporary audiences.
Queen Letizia receives happy breaking news
Queen Letizia is going through one of her best moments. With Leonor getting closer to returning home and the excellent public approval, good news has arrived in her life. This time, it is related to the series that premiered 15 years ago about her relationship with Felipe.
What seemed destined to be one of the biggest failures, Netflix has now turned into a true mass phenomenon. Queen Letizia has managed to make the series Felipe y Letizia one of the most-watched on the platform. Starring Amaia Salamanca and Fernando Gil, the series dramatizes the romance between Prince Felipe and then-journalist Letizia.
When it aired in 2010, it achieved ratings that fell short of what had initially been projected. There were numerous reviews, and critics described the production as emotionally excessive and unrealistic. On Filmaffinity, for example, the series still holds low ratings close to 2.4 out of 10, reflecting its poor reception by the public.
However, Netflix has revived this drama, turning it into an object of cultural interest. Its sudden current popularity has created a remarkable contrast, going from being disregarded to holding a prominent position in Spanish rankings.
The miniseries consists of only two episodes, each with a duration of 2 hrs. 30 min. (2.5 hours), a short format that makes for quick viewing. Thanks to this, more and more viewers have joined in, achieving resounding success 15 years after its premiere.
Queen Letizia becomes trending again
Recently, Queen Letizia has been gaining prominence. A few days ago, it was revealed how Spaniards positively value her role within the monarchy. So much so that she has even managed to take the spotlight from Queen Sofía, who has always been so beloved by the public.
This change in trend is now joined by the unexpected success of her series. The streaming platform has taken advantage of Letizia's recent fame to relaunch the production and give it renewed interest. With its return to Netflix, the series has gained a second life, showing that audiences change over time and with nostalgia.
The combination of public figure, romantic story, and compact format has proven to be very effective in capturing massive current attention. Thus, Felipe y Letizia stands as a notable example of media resurrection, where old content overcomes its initial negative legacy.
Queen Letizia is "in style," and with that, everything around her is adorned with success and great expectation. In fact, a few days ago, the queen met Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva at a charity event held in Madrid. The couple, before starting their speech, greeted Letizia, creating the day's comedic moment.
Now Felipe's wife is making headlines again for the success that the series about her romance is having on Netflix. Gone are the criticisms from those who once said it was "like Los Serrano but with royalty." Felipe y Letizia tops the rankings and seems to be here to stay.
