On July 1, 2026, Queen Letizia bid farewell to the emergency medical team of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), which will be deployed to Venezuela to assist those affected by the earthquakes. The Queen also met with volunteers from the START team (Spanish Technical Aid Response Team), who will travel to Venezuela.
Queen Letizia of Spain also received a delegation from the Spanish Confederation for Mental Health, together with professionals and associations actively involved in suicide prevention, at Zarzuela Palace in Madrid.
Queen Letizia is too casually dressed, some of the ladies around her look smarter than she does, perhaps they even bought something new for this important meeting, this is why she disappoints in her elevated role.

No Virginia, when you’re the Queen of a country (no less!), YOU set the tone. It’s always been thus. In this case, I suspect that she deliberately dressed elegantly but low key due to the shorter-planned visit to the medical team leaving for Venezuela emergency; then she’s gone straight onto the long planned event.
DeleteI agree completely! MR
DeleteShe looks very nice in casual clothes, perhaps a belt same colour as pants to cover the closure would be a nice finish
ReplyDeleteHaving read previous comments about Queen Letizia's outfits, I've noticed that the Spanish commentators appreciate their Queen's simplicity and absence of pomp. For a meeting with AECID workers she looks appropriate. I would even say that she looks like one of them, just without a red vest. But for a reception in a palace, she really looks too casual. She could have changed her outfit, or at least add some accessories (a belt, for example, as Anon.15:16 suggested.)
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of people have died and she IS thinking about her outfit..., I have no words..
DeleteAnon. 07:26. I don't understand you. How a reception in a palace is related to the tragedy in Venezuela? I haven't noticed that any person in the last three photos are wearing mourning outfits.
DeleteThe recepción was obviously 10 minutes after the farewell...I think that many people here do not take their pills on time...have you read the title of this post??
DeleteQueen Letizia Bids Farewell to the AECID Emergency Medical Team..
Anon.12:58. Have you read the second passage of this post? And how the reception could take place 10 min. after the farewell, if it takes at least 18 min. to get from the airport to the Zarazuela palace?
DeleteAnon 17:50...so she could NOT changed her clothes, she does not live in Zarzuela...
DeleteAnon. 06:49. Please, check the information before writing. The Queen DOES live in the Zarazuela palace. It is the private residence of the Spanish royal family.
DeleteAnon 09:17..I am a Spaniard... Felipe and Letizia live in "La casita del Príncipe", not in a any Palace....It is not the "private" residence of them...Back in the day king Juan Carlos and Sofia lived there... Felipe did not want to live with them and they live in a house....give Up wikipedia...and study some Spanish language..
DeleteZarzuela is not a "Palace", It is a Country house, and only Queen Sofía lives there..., Felipe and Letizia live near but in a house
DeleteAnon. 12:53/12:58. You made me do some research in Spanish. "Conocida como El Pabellón del Príncipe, la residencia oficial de los reyes está situada a un kilómetro del palacio de la Zarzuela". Zarzuela is defined as a palace in the sources, that I've read. And is 1 km too far to get quickly to your house and to change your clothes. And please don't tell me that her schedule is planned the way it has no gaps between the engagements.
DeletePerfection !
ReplyDeleteOw wauw really boring again. She can learn a lot from Queen Maxima. She is fun and modern. This is boring and too simple…
ReplyDeleteDear 18:44, she’s not Maxima in personality and Spain is not Netherlands in terms of the citizens relationship with their royal family. Letizia dresses superbly for her context. Additionally her budget is very different from the Dutch, which is one of the wealthiest Royal families by far. I find Letizia never boring and never roo simple, but every single time, perfectly dressed for the occasion.
Delete@20.47 That is your opinion. With another budget you also can look modern and fashionalble. Look in the streets. They are normal people with a normal budget and they look better then letitzia
Delete8:39 really? I rarely see someone in the street as elegant as Letizia.
DeleteDid you know what happened in Venezuela? obviously not, only living in a idiotic life...lots of people have died because a heathquake...boring...mamma mía!?
ReplyDeleteSo good! So elegant!
ReplyDeleteCette tenue sobre lui convient bien, ce qui n’est pas donné à tout le monde !
ReplyDeleteHer outfit reflects the reason for this gathering, well chosen, appropriate and she looks smart. I wish this group well, a major undertaking well done to them.
ReplyDeleteSo many other countries have been in Venezuela since days shortly after the catastrophe, no pomp, no especial send offs, they just showed up to help and continue to be there working under the sadest and horrifying circumstances, this ceremony is totally self serving and unnecessary, just show up! Rem
ReplyDeleteCeremony?? Where IS the pomp? The Queen IS in pomp or not fashionable enough... Only for the Spaniards, It is not a fashion thing, we can do what we want in our Country..this IS the last... Venezuela is a Spanish speaking Country and every person is sending money... obviously you cannot ser the conection...
DeleteWhat countries?? Can you tell me, please??
DeleteOnly Spanish speaking countries are sending help to Venezuela...don't tell líes...
DeleteI agree with the person that thinks that some women need their medicines, most of them have not even seen the farewell in this post and you have said, there is pomp.😉, obviously It is not news for a fashion blog and only seen in Spanish media...not for other countries, only appeared in Spain.
DeleteJeepers REM, what went wrong with your compassion there? Hope it settles down soon.
DeleteA rainha está vestida de acordo com os eventos. Com simplicidade e elegância. O Brasil enviou a Venezuela equipes de resgates, hospitais de campanha, medicamentos e alimentos não perecíveis. E somos um país de língua portuguesa. Obrigada!
ReplyDeleteIberoamericana...
DeleteBrasil is considered also a Country with family there and obviously near of Venezuela.
DeleteAmericans, the Netherlands, Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland, , Germany, the UK, Quatar, Türkiye, India, China, Iran, approximately 32 countries all together, the lack of caring enough to find out is appalling, Rem
ReplyDeleteBut they do not have family there..that IS the difference.., Countries....not "people".... There are lots of Spaniards there and many of us have family....
DeleteAnd how many people of those countries have died there...almost 1000 Spaniards until now....
DeleteAnnon 16:54, please read what I wrote again, and my follow up response to annon 13:00, I must be a horrendous writer for people to accuse me of lying and lacking compassion, but as this is a blog about fashion I think I am trying to make a point to the wrong crowd, I should not be surprised; just remember, There for the grace of G go I. Rem
ReplyDeleteFashion: "this ceremony is totally self serving and unnecessary, just show up! Rem"...no more words...
