King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain are undertaking a three-day State Visit to China. On the third day of their visit, Queen Letizia visited Beijing Foreign Studies University. The Queen attended the event “Spanish in China,” hosted by the university, and met with students, including more than a hundred who are studying Spanish.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia hosted a reception for the Spanish community residing in China. Among the various groups that make up this community, the education sectors stand out, along with more than a hundred Spanish civil servants working in the country.
Excellent! Much better than yesterday’s over the top coat. This is how you wear an interesting collar and not with a navy lace jabot over an already very busy black coat. Kate should learn from Letizia

DeleteComparing two completely different situations does never make sense.
1. Princess Catherine was on the yearly very important remembrance ceremony of Armistice held in the U.K. which requires black clothes from the members (male and female) of the royal family. To me the jabot was made of black lace but that is not important. Like every year Princess Catherine is wearing a black coat dress with military details to remind us of the enormous number of soldiers who gave their life to save us from the enemy Nazi Germany. Personally I don't like these military symbols, but that is what British people are more or less expecting from the members of the BRF.
2. Queen Letizia met Chinese university students who are learning and studying the Spanish language. King Felipe and herself hosted a reception for the Spanish people who live and work in China. Queen Letizia is wearing a burgundy business pant suit with a black blouse underneath and black accessories which is quite appropriate for this visit.
They each did what was expected of them
There were people here who liked Catherine's lace jabot. Who should they learn from? From you? :-)) This "X should learn from Y" is so ... condescending.
DeleteA disturbing comment. Catherine and Letizia were in two very different situations. There is nothing to compare. As stated above, Catherine was in black mourning dress for a memorial, Letizia is visiting students. Catherine has nothing to learn from Letizia. They have individual styles and what is appropriate dress varies from country to country. I happened to like Letizia's floral Carolina Herrera coat yesterday, so I can't agree with you on that point either.
DeletePrincess doesn't need to learn from Queen Letizia or anyone else. I can't understand the reason of such a malicious comments. We are all different, we don't need to be the copy of someone else's styles . And I simple don't understand why someone have to compare them, always-almost - having as reference, if they sympathize more with one over the other

DeletePlease do not exxagerate. Nobody is malicious here. Just someone who is not aware of the difference of one situation where a solemn and respectful attitude is required and another situation meeting young students and other Spanish people who happened to live and work in the country which was visited by their king and queen.
It is only human that we admire more one queen and king because they correspond more with what we expect of royals or what we recognize and compare with our own country. It does not mean that we hate the other royal couples, they just appeal less to what we like or do less correspond with the habits of what we are used to in our own country. Signed anon. 18:08
If an overdone black coat plus a navy jabot is how you judge respectfulness to the occasion, that’s your opinion. Saying Kate wore lots of bling to show respect to those remembered seems at odds with Kate’s own choices in previous years, when she had very suitable and less blingy clothes. All I was saying is Kate was overdoing the details on her neckline. Letizia looked classy. Unless Kate’s jabot had some specific significance, it did nothing to help reinforce any message of respect for anyone. Which is true and has nothing to do with the person, just the attire she chose (or was chosen for her).

Her clothes always fit so well. I would of preferred a different coloured blouse, I find this too somber.
ReplyDeleteBelle allure dans cet ensemble que Letizia a judicieusement combiné avec un petit noeud Lavallière !
ReplyDeleteThis burgundy pantsuit looks splendid. Beautiful snug fit, very becoming of the Queen. Love the color. The black silk blouse looks fabulous. I love the black shoes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Outfit. What a wonderful blouse with the bow

What does the body language of this hand position mean?
¿Un mensaje? , En realidad Letizia sabe el lenguaje de los sordomudos, ya lo ha usado más veces.
DeleteThe pantsuit looks great but I don't like the top inside because it's dark against dark and there is no contrast or interesting pattern.
ReplyDeleteto Anonymous13/11/25 18:19 : I love Catherine's lace jabot, it looks very noble and the press loves it too.
ReplyDeleteWhy does everyone compare princess of wales with queen letizia? Two different countries, two different ages and two different bodies. Give it a rest and say something nice about the ladies please
ReplyDeleteNo one but no one rocks a business suit quite like QL. She puts the ‘P’ into power suits. Perfect fitting,and the blouce compliments the suit perfectly.
