If she did that, to wear the handbags, that's extremely gracious. However I wouldn't feel obligated personally towards an ex. Letizia has nothing to make up for, no guilt IMO.

A woman is is confident of herself and secure in her relationship with her husband has nothing to worry about and no problems with being friends with her husband's ex. Besides, maybe Leti genuinely likes her?

If she is having financial troubles, she's a potentially HUGE source of embarrassment for the SRF. She knows the secrets. It's in Felipe and Leti's interest to "help" her and keep her afloat financially. She probably knows enough that she could cash in and make a lot of money...but she probably doesn't want to go there and burn her bridges totally with the SRF and society. She was striking when she was younger.

It doesn't seem particularly strange if they mingle in the same social circles that they have become friends.
I can think of a few friends I know with a similar situation and personally I think it's very healthy if 2 women are able to look past the common denominator (the man) and build a relationship of their own.
Which is more appropriate: ... "burst into uncontrollable tears in the middle of a largescale Paris social occasion and emotionally blackmail your fiance to his enormous embarrassment because he talks to his (married) ex" (Mary) or ... make friends with your husband's ex and have a casual lunch with her? |

I think it is very tacky to be 'friends' with husband ex-lover.  Polite yes, but IMO any wife should expect that hubby ex-lovers are out of the horizon. I can get that the Isabel woman need money, but what Leti can need? Isabel looks trashy BTW.  |

Isabel and Felipe belong to the same social circles, share many common friends, so they have always remained friends after the love relation was over. If Leti can find some common subjects with her hubby's ex, I don't see what's the issue of her becoming friends with Isabel. Isabel said in her interview that she and Leti just clicked, they liked each other instantly.
I see Leti with a man's personality, she is not a person who gets jealous about little things, on the other hand, I see Felipe would have been more jealous of her being friends with other men.

For me it doesn't necessarily have to be a matter of being confident or secure in the relationship. If you know you're his number 1, there's no reason to think something is going on. I wouldn't forbid my man to meet his exes but I certainly don't know why I'd have to meet them, let alone become their friend. Of course I'd politely greet them if I met them by chance but your friends are supposed to know your secrets, and you don't want your hubby's ex knowing anything about your life together, do you? I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable having a coffee with a woman my man has slept with. |

It's not necessary for all your friends to know all of your secrets, it depends on how close you are with your friends or what type of secrets.

ITA. As the old saying goes you can count your friends on one hand. |

I would expect Felipe to be a taboo subject between them. Isabel and Letizia probably talk about children, in-laws, la prensa rosa and countless other subjects, but the man they have in common.
Imo Letizia probably thinks of Eva as a floozy. Btw, I saw a recent picture of her at one of Mette-Marit's events, and I don't think she has aged too well, but it looks she is still friendly with M-M.

Love is many things. It's varied. One thing it is not and can never be is unsure.

I don't think it has to do with guilt or tryng to make up for anything. If I was secure in my marriage and I genuinely like my husband's ex, why not? Besides, Felipe and Isabel's relationship was over 20 years ago, it's not like she was the last girlfriend before Leti (like Eva). I don't see the problem. |
