On February 12, 2026, Queen Letizia of Spain received a delegation from the Claudia Tecglen Foundation at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid. The foundation focuses on changing perceptions of disability, creating real opportunities for people living with disabilities, and transforming barriers into opportunities. Claudia Tecglen García, a psychologist and social entrepreneur who was born with cerebral palsy, was awarded the 2022 Princess of Girona Social Award.
During the meeting, representatives of the foundation explained their work to the Queen and presented the results of the pilot programme of the Inter-Regional Suicide Prevention Network. For the occasion, the Queen wore a blue 'Melinda' silk shirt by Antik Batik.
Antik Batik Melinda Shirt
I like the blouse, the metallic buttons and the dusty blue colour of the silk fabric. I had never heard of Antik Batik before. I took a look at their website. They have some very interesting items although they are pricey. This shirt is almost $500.00! Their garments are very artistic and more on the Boho or Bohemian style. Letizia's blouse is quite conservative in comparison.
ردحذف345 € are $406, not almost 500. It is not cheap, when she wears Zara, people say that is very cheap.

حذفThanks for the conversion. I didn't mention the price in relation to Letizia.
I was speaking more from the point of view of the average person.
$400 to $500 is a lot of money for a blouse.
Price has nothing to do with fashion and choices. Quality usually mean more expensive
حذف16:25 “price has nothing to do with fashion and choices “?! … I see it the opposite. Fashion is predominantly a profit business, most especially fast fashion, and price absolutely dictates how much people can own, what they can choose, what they can wear. The price is a key component of fashion.
حذفRe Sandra’s comment that this blouse is expensive, agree! Especially in Australian dollar ( she did not specify which dollar and there are quite a few around the world of course). It is a neat blouse but I don’t find it special, so I also think it’s a crazy price! When a garment is special I can understand the price more. Letizia has a very good mix of low priced garments and some expensive ones (eg yesterday’s dress), which I admire her for. She could just stick to very pricy labels and does not. Doesn’t stop me thinking whhhhoa when I see a $595 shirt! (The Australian dollar price).
Anon 20:19..the price IS in Euros, not in dollars, not American or Australian or whatever...345 for a French , the brand IS from France IS not so expensive, there people have more expensive brands.
حذفEur345 IS an expensive blouse. Aud595 IS an expensive blouse. They have an international website and the blouse is expensive.
حذفBelle allure dans cette chemise bleu pâle qui aurait été mieux combinée avec un pantalon noir !
ردحذفVery gray very dull. These colours are making her look older.
ردحذف😂😂😂😂
ردحذفPourquoi parlez du prix d un vêtement
ردحذفSi une Reine ne peut pas s acheter un vêtement de prix qui peut le faire alors ?
I agree price is not relevant on this blog.
حذفBecause price is an integral component of fashion. It’s a fair point to make. Why get bothered by discussion of this component is my return question, chère 16:47?
حذفAs I stated earlier, I did not mention it regarding Letizia. I was stating my own opinion as an ordinary person that I found the blouse very expensive.
حذفWhy would price not be relevant?! As said above, it’s an integral component of being able to wear a garment!
حذفLetizia‘s blouse is made of silk and expensive, who cares, but she looks boring and undistinguished nonetheless.

Nice combination. But $500.- for a blouse is a bit steep for me.

Price DOES have to do with choices for many people who still love fashion. I shop at premium outlets in the USA and find many good designers at more reasonable prices with quality fabrics, i.e. Theory. Like the classics. Queen Letizia has a stunning figure and wears most everything very well. She tends to mix more chic casual in with her elegant wardrobe and keeps her wardrobe interesting and at various price levels. Love the soft looking blouse and her shoes.
ردحذفDear @ Virginia Dogwood.
حذفI too prefer to visit physical shops
(I need to touch the quality and try on what I set my eyes on) and, yes, I happened to buy even designer clothes at more reasonable prices than the ones shown on their websites/ catalogues.
Theory pieces are an excellent choice
(sometimes worn by Princess Marie too).
I love both classic and more creative clothes.
I love experimenting new fashion dimensions, especially as far as evening wear is concerned.
I concur re: Queen Letizia.
Cheers.
The pants are a very good fit, great length and nice width. The blouse is nice, but a bit bland.
ردحذفThere’s a derogatory comment made by Anonymous signing off as Virginia - and then a complimentary comment by a signed in Virginia… is someone acting as someone else here?
ردحذفHave a good look, Virginia Dogwood and Virginia🌞 are two completely different bloggers, clear enough.
حذف🌞 Virginia
I do not know who Virginia @ 19:23 is. I see her posts often. She is different from me. I live on the West Coast of USA and I'm Virginia Dogwood. If I don't like something, I try to give a good reason why. I'm a lover of classic, traditional clothing and consider that look more elegant . I like French designs as I find them usually (not always) quite chic. I get very good suggestions by many of our bloggers for creative styling and that is part of what this blog should also be about -- not just critiquing the royals. Granted royal ladies appear to have very large budgets, so I expect more from the them, as they can well afford a good stylist, where many like myself cannot. Thanks to Helen for keeping this blog relevant.

ردحذفI usually like Queen Letizia minimalist taste. I don't like this one. It's bland and the colors make her look washed out. A fail for me.
