On April 28, 2026, Queen Letizia received a delegation representing the members of the recently established Carlos I Chair of Public Policy, as well as a group of experts from the Legislative Observatory on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs, which is marking its fifth anniversary, at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid. She then received a delegation from the Rare Diseases Association “Más Visibles”.

We understand why Queen Letizia has been forced to ditch her heels but why has she stopped wearing jackets? Once again, as last week, this is a nice enough outfit but looks like something you would wear for a casual lunch. At both events, almost every other person male or female is wearing a jacket and, therefore looks more business like
ReplyDelete@Annie, full respect for your attitude to and opinion about jackets for women. But just to show how differently it can be viewed: I hate most of them, them, especially "serious" masculine jackets "copied" from men's fashion. It is a pity if exactly this copy of businesslike-ness would be valid for women too ... this is at least how I see it :-)
DeleteI have noted lots of comments in the past few years that HM Q Letizia is less covered up than others at events. I can’t help but think, as a woman of a certain age myself, she has probably hit a period of life where she feels much warmer than she used to and needs to wear cooler clothing. I am fully aware of the Queen’s age of 53, but perimenopause strikes when it wants to!
DeletePossibilities: it’s too warm for a jacket, she feels more comfortable when working not to wear one, she doesn’t want to. She had a lovely periwinkle blue suit on recently. She’s inviting them to her palace. It’s quite normal that we who host dress more casually when we are chez nous and others coming do their best with the dress code but wear more than us. All this is normal and no problem. I love seeing her with her sleeves rolled up ready to work. I get hot easily so I also would choose this outfit.
DeletePer non parlare delle maniche arrotolate...
DeleteCute casual work outfit. Nothing too exciting but I do love her shoes!
ReplyDeleteLes rayures sont tendance cette année ; Letizia les a choisies judicieusement de couleur lilas qui se combine à merveille aussi bien avec le bleu-marine que le noir !
ReplyDeleteI love stripes of all kinds. They are a classic pattern. I like the way Letizia rolled up the sleeves and tucked in the top making it look more stylish. The neckline is very unusual.
ReplyDeleteI like this blouse, which Letizia also wore last September.
ReplyDeleteOpen-necked casual shirts can easily look dishevelled at the neck with aloose unbuttoned collar -- but this neckline is particularly neat. It balances the volume of the fabric with a clean simple edge, adding just enough structure to make this casual design suitable for business daywear. To my eye, this less formal design makes Letizia look more relaxed too - as does the delicate colour. Lyra
Excellent sleeves rolled up working look for a queen who seems to get deeply into the subjects she supports. I’m sure her journalistic training has offered much help to many organisations
ReplyDelete女王陛下は何気ない服をいつも上品に着こなします。
ReplyDelete私はいつも思うのですが、スペインの人たちは自分に何が似合うかを良く知っていますね。
私は昔マドリードを旅した時、女性も男性も素敵な人が多かった思い出が残っています。
The sleeves rolled up is just what this shirt needs to be loose but not too formless or simply big. Well made by Letizia.
ReplyDeleteShe is showing a lack of respect to her guests by dressing down, is that what she thinks they deserve? Rem
