On the morning of July 26, 2026, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain visited the municipal sports centre “La Chopera” in Villamanta to support those affected by the wildfires. The facility has been prepared to accommodate approximately 200 people evacuated due to the wildfires. During their visit, the King and Queen met with evacuated residents and expressed their support for displaced families.
The King and Queen were accompanied by the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; the Third Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Sara Aagesen; the Commander of the UME, Francisco Javier Marcos; and the Mayor of Villamanta, Mariano Núñez.
Residents evacuated due to a wildfire near San Martín de Valdeiglesias take shelter in a sports hall in Villamanta, west of Madrid, as Spain declared a national emergency in the Madrid region and the province of Ávila, near the capital, following several wildfires that were burning out of control.
They do casual well. I like the fit of the queens pants close fitting but not skinny jean look. My only quibble is the length of the queens belt, seems a bit long on the tail, it doesn’t tuck into a loop.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1753, it is just an observation not a negative.comment or expectation
DeleteAgree. They do casualvdry well. Good to see them out offering support in this dreadful time for Spain.

ReplyDeleteForgive the comment, but whether it’s the president or a minister—what matters is showing respect for the residents, not having perfect makeup and clothes.
J'aime bien voir le Roi dans ce jean ainsi que le vert amande de sa chemise ; quant à Letizia, elle a bien associé le blanc de son chemisier avec son pantalon marron clair judicieusement ceinturé !

A good look for the worrying situation thats all over europe. Take care everyone and be safe
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThese jeans the Queen is wearing, I love. I much prefer this style of jeans, as opposed to the 'Skinny' jeans. The long sleeved crisp white shirt looks good. The King looks wonderful in his casual gear. His shirt and jeans, also very good. Its good to see the royal couple supporting the residents relocated to safety at this centre. My thoughts are with all the resident's evacuated, the people that have suffered loss. I hope their has been no casualties or worse.
ReplyDeleteIn the nature fires in France and Spain there are people who didn't or couldn't leave in time and couldn't be saved anymore. The fire influenced by the hard wind came very very fast in some aerea's.
DeleteAnon 14.29 thank you for the information, that is terrible news. The loss of life. Possessions can be replaced but life cannot. I will keep the loss of life in my prayers.
DeleteMy thoughts are with all of those affected by the fires in Europe and the North America.We in Australia understand exactly what you are going through.

Cate 11.00 Well said, and thank you for mentioning. Aussie's yes we understand very much. Mother nature in Summer, always a threat.
DeleteWhat an absolute horrific time for those poor people! I know people say things can be replaced, and they can, but the mementos of a life lived can’t. So terribly sad.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
It must not always be super elegant. Both look great in casual. More important is the support they give to the people.

Despite the sad circumstances, there is no need for the queen of Spain to appear with stringy, unkempt hair. The woman on her right is wearing a neat pony tail, for example.

Her hair is not stringy - and if it were, her compassion and showing up would surely be more important to the people she’s there to encourage. But as per usual she’s turned up looking just right. There’s some wind and it blows her hair around a bit and we doctors call this: normal.
DeleteIt's the biggest evacue crisis since world war 2 in Spain and people are commentating on the queens jeans,I'm sure queen letisia isn't bothered what she wearing ,it's about being out and about helping
