Doña Letizia and her viral cameo in ‘Cuéntame’: this was the great detail of the Alcántara family with the Queen

The emblematic TVE series reaches its final stretch after twenty years on broadcast. As a final celebration of this long career, Tell me how it happened He has had a very televisual gesture with Mrs. Letizia. This has been the cameo of the Queen, which has gone viral on the networks.

TV culture has always been the common thread of the scripts of the super long-running TVE series Tell me how it happened. In its final stretch and as a tribute to the character of Herminia, the series has included Doña Letizia in a chapter. The Asturian journalist, on a TVE set, sneaks into the Alcántara family living room to narrate the arrival of the new European currency, which buried our peseta back at the beginning of this 21st century. For this nod, the serial once again uses the TVE archive and rescues the video in which the presenter Letizia Ortiz explains to us in a pedagogical way how to live with the new currency.

“Simply divide the price in pesetas into 166, 386″, voice is heard. “We are going to make a very simple calculation with the price of two items,” says Letizia, who appears with television makeup from those years, with outlined eyes, straight hair and a very of information: ocher colored jacket suit. The journalist is accompanied by an image of the euro on a blue background.
With hypnotic attention, Herminia (María Galiana) listens to the journalist’s words. Merche’s mother (Ana Duato), who shares the table with the Alcántara couple, discusses with her son-in-law the trouble “they are getting into” with the euro. “It’s very simple, Herminia,” Antonio (Imanol Arias) tells his mother-in-law. At this moment, you can still hear the background voice of the one who years later will be the queen of Spain.
