    One tiny brooch or necklace to finish the look (yes, I know QL doesn't overdo on jewelry but still ...) and it would have been perfect, but QL looks fantastic anyhow. This burgundy red suits her wonderful.

      I was just thinking about the same. He did an effort to put on a suit that fits better than his other suits, it looks like it is newer too.

      Queen Letizia wears sometimes a brooch if she has to wear a tiara or for a very important gala, but otherwise she just wears earrings. I cannot remember her with a necklace, sometimes a beautiful bracelet but again only on special occasions. I think she says to herself "less is more" and that is my opinion too.

    We are missing the picture of Charles kissing Letizia's hand. It is a very charming picture! Letizia in a deeper color red, and as usual, she owns it! This dress has a simple silhouette with a few details to make it different. I like the pleated detail on the skirt, and shoulder buttons for an added touch. Bag and shoes are perfect, and the coat is to die for! I'm glad we are seeing it again. I love Charles' coordinating tie and pocket square. I don't know if it was planned, but it looks great. ~d

  5. J'ai grand plaisir à voir Letizia sans le port du masque ; superbe silhouette dans cette robe dont la couleur Bordeaux se retrouve tant dans la pochette que les escarpins ; j'adore quand elle coiffe ses cheveux en arrière en donnant de jolies ondulations !

    Nice to see them together without their spouses.

    Letizia always looks amazing in her signature look, all red.
    It must be a relief for her not to wear a mask at an engagement.

    What a wonderful dress. This superb ref colour is fantastic on Letizia. The model gives her fragile figure a boost, also because the dress is knee length. Anna

    The best part for me is that she has chosen to wear her hair naturally - in a casual style and without colouring the grey. She looks smashing.

  9. I like her coat a lot. It looks great with that dress. Not sure about the hairstyle though.

    It's nice to see her face too.

    Letizia looks fab! I love the button detail on the shoulder. Her hair and make-up are spot on.

    Charles looks smitten. They are a cute pair. They had similar engagement at the National Gallery a few years ago.

      @00.53: you still think that royals have a right to privacy? Didnt cross your mind the idea that they left it the day they became public figures?? Being protagonists of a public blog isnt already showing their personal life?

      Anon 10:06...they are not protagonist of a public blog, they do not get money for this. Actually, in Spain they are considered public servants with a salary as everybody else.

    4. No creo que haya ninguna "mejora" en su cara porque hace 2 años que no la vemos al descubierto. De hecho, creo que se ven claros indicios de envejecimiento natural alrededor de sus ojos y en sus canas. Letizia tiene 49 años muy bien llevados, pero las petardas tienen que meter el dedo en el ojo sea como sea.
      No, anónima 10:06, en un blog y otros medios no se muestra su vida personal, sino SU TRABAJO. Todo el mundo tiene derecho a su privacidad, de lo contrario sería reducirlos a seres insensibles o pelotas de football listos para recibir patadas de forma gratuita porque no van a contestar. Tu mensaje me parece una vergüenza.

      @10:06 Every human deserves a level of privacy. Whether you agree or not this is her work. No one should be subjected to personal snide remarks and speculation in the course of their mission. Looks more like losing sight of the theme of the blog to advance the day's talking points and a paucity of dignity on your part. Some children are taught at a young age not to do this.

      It occurs to me that if Letizia wanted to appear younger, she would start by coloring her hair. The grey is the most obviously aging thing about her. It is a simple and quick change, and most importantly, it is not permanent. It seems ridiculous to speculate about her having work done to her face. What the lady does or does not do is her business. Looking for signs of subtle tweaks on these royals is bordering on obsession.

      @Anon 15:26 Every person, public or private, deserves privacy. Of course a lot is sacrificed for a public life, but not everything. I suppose you think they should sell their souls as well? ~d

      This blog talks about royals or not?? So what should be our comments about?
      If commenting means breaking their privacy, then the blog could close.

      Anon...21:09. It means that nobody has asked them about that, It is something you are doing without permisión, I wonder when the human rights start. They have not sold their Life to a magazine for money, as some famous people do.
      The wife of the Spanish President of the Goventment does not have a blog and actually they represent the country too. Probably they would ask for privacy and they earn more money than the King.

      Your comment should have been deleted because the statements about her features is fabricated without any proof, has nothing to do with her fashion or the event which is what the blog reports on. She deserves the privacy of not having beauty treatments speculated on in print by cowards who know that she will not respond or sue.

  14. How lovely to see the two of them together at this event! The Queen’s dress is gorgeous and, although I think it makes her look older, I like the hairstyle. The coat seems appropriate for the day as well.

    She looks fabulous, she knows how to carry red, this dress is ideal for a day affair, elegant but not over the top, also the pleats give her a little more volume,I like that she has a half updo as to give a little more panache to the otherwise sober outfit. Love everything about it.

  16. This is a outstanding dress, very stylish and chic. I love the accessories. The coat is nice, but IMO too boxy in shape.

    Haha Queen Letizia is on a mission! The dress is lovely, a detail here and there.
    It seems to me the royals have an intense relationship, good on them, together you can work a lot out also on a cultural level ( w're in this together).
    Not entirely sure about the hair but why not for once. The earrings are to melt for!

  19. Es un vestido soso al máximo y supongo que a Carlos le habrá parecido que va horrorosa en comparación con su nuera que va siempre preciosa y su mujer siempre perfecta. Leticia no tiene gusto ni estilo. Del pelo mejor no hablar, una mujer de 50 años con ese peinado de adolescente, horrorosa y las cejas a lo bruja tampoco son el adalid de la elegancia

    The hair pulled back are not good on her. She looks older and her facial features seem harder.

  21. Charles y Letizia parecen tener una buena relación personal y un amor común por el Arte. Esta es la 2ª vez que se reúnen para una inauguración, la 1ª fue de Sorolla. Ojalá viniera Charles a España por otra ocasión semejante.
    Este vestido rojo oscuro es la perfección, sencillo pero con detalles originales y exclusivos. El abrigo amplio y envolvente es muy chic y los zapatos son para morirse, igual que los pendientes "Pluma" como las del escudo de Charles. Todo pensado y medido. Bravo.

    La pandemia no ha impedido a Letizia de trabajar continuamente , no ha desaparecido semanas , se ha puesto la mascarilla y ha saludo a cumplir su trabajo, cuando ha tenido tiempo para hacerse retoques esteticos, siempre los mismos comentarios en este tema, resulta desagradable por eso entro cada
    vez menos aqui, quieren comentar pues haganlo diciendo que lleva
    dos años cumpliendo con su agenda, sin vacaciones desde Navidad y ahora unos dias en Semana Santa, criticas merece pocas dada su asiduad con una agenda completa.
