On January 6, 2022, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia attended the traditional celebration of Pascua Militar (the Military Easter, also known as New Year’s Military Parade) at the Royal Palace of Madrid. Pascua Militar has been held by Spanish Army on Epiphany Day since 1782. King Felipe presided over the celebration as the commander of the Armed Forces. Royal ladies wear a long dress at Pascua Militar ceremony as a tradition.
During the ceremony that took place in the Throne Room, King Felipe VI received the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of the Defence Staff, the Chiefs of Staff of all branches, the Grand Masters of the Royal and Military Orders of San Fernando and San Hermenegildo, the Civil Guard chiefs and the Spanish Veterans Brotherhood.
The origin of the Military Easter dates back to the time of King Carlos III. On January 6, 1782, the Menorcan town of Mahón, which was in the power of the English, was recovered. As an expression of joy, King Carlos III ordered the viceroys, captains general, governors and military commanders to gather the garrisons on the feast of the Epiphany and notify the chiefs and officers of the armies of their congratulations on his behalf.
elegant and classic!
ReplyDeleteVestido precioso, con detalles que lo hacen especial a pesar de su sencillez: el tejido que hace aguas, el cuello elevado por detrás, la gran lazada y las tablas traseras que se ven como un polisón. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteLa capa de piel sintética es la misma que estrenó en Suecia.
Sus pendientes son los de aguamarinas sin el colgante y el broche antiguo de perlas pertenece a la "Joyas de pasar".
Los zapatos de plataforma vuelven a estar de moda, pero a mí no me gustan.
Este ha sido un magnífico comienzo de Año 2022.
Beaucoup d'élégance dans cette robe que je trouve classique aux lignes simples et peut-être un peu trop longue ; sa broche de diamants et perles est vraiment magnifique !
ReplyDeleteTulipe, bien qu'elle ait lieu le matin, la Pâque militaire exige toujours une tenue de cour, c'est-à-dire une robe longue.
DeleteJe comprends ce que Tulipe veut dire. La robe de Letizia est en effet trop longue. Je n'ai jamais entendu qu'une robe longue doit toucher le sol. 1 ou 2 centimetres plus court serait mieux.
DeleteShe is a beautiful woman with a delicate face. She looks so much better and natural when she smiles than when she tries to appear severe. I love her dress
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes on the lady in pic 9.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful gown, love the navy colour, delightful fabric. Well crafted and fits impeccably. The pearl and diamond brooch, is simply divine, what a beauty that is.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, Ava; QL's gown's gorgeous and the brooch is 'treacherous' simple but so stylish

As always, such beautiful posture. The dress is a lovely colour, and seems an excellent choice for a chilly day. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, V.M. and with you, Ava Pittman. The brooch is exquisite.
DeleteQueen Letizia looks regal in her long navy gown. She rarely wear brooches, so its wonderful to see that this time she added the brooch. Also her hairstyle is appropriate without being too severe and tight, a'la Victoria of Sweden.
ReplyDeleteKarin
At least Crown Princess Victoria doesn't look severe because she has always a very friendly smile, which cannot be said of Queen Letizia. Of course with the masks it is difficult to see but her eyes are not smiling. Her hair has been much better in the past. And that stiff posture as if she is a military herself. There are other queens and crown princesses in Europe who can be serious when necessary without looking too severe.
DeleteKarin se ha referido al peinado de Victoria, no a su carácter, pero cualquier excusa es buena para golpear a Letizia ¿no es cierto, anónima? Ahora el mantra de las haters es "su postura rígida militar" y aunque llevan 2 años sin verle la cara, tienen rayos X en los ojos para decir que nunca sonríe, cosa totalmente falsa. Lo que no hace es enseñar las amígdalas riéndose a carcajadas y hace bien.
DeleteEsta ceremonia es muy seria, el hecho de ir de largo lo dice. Están reunidos con la plana mayor del ejército. Que manía con que no ríe. Yo veo a otras casas reales en algunas ceremonias en las que están bastante serías.
ReplyDeleteEl vestido la sienta como un guante, agregarle el broche fue un acierto para darle luminosidad.
Bonita ceremonia. No dejen perder la historia comunidad Española, Casa Real Española, hagan las cosas bien para que los contrarios politucos no tengan motivos para estar en contra de Ustedes.
