King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia are undertaking a three-day State Visit to the Republic of Finland, aimed at highlighting and strengthening the ties and bilateral relations between the two countries. The State Visit runs from October 5 to 7, with visits to Helsinki and Rovaniemi. On October 5, 2026, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia departed from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport in Madrid to travel to Finland.
Throughout the visit, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia’s agenda will address the main areas of cooperation between Spain and Finland, ranging from political, economic and defence relations to education, science, innovation, culture and ties between their societies. This is King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia’s first State Visit to Finland.
Whoa! Another way to arrive for a state visit … a beautiful practical fine wool (?) suit in all simplicity with practical black loafers (I think). Letizia does a beautifully simple elegance which I really love. I also love the immense elegance of a Maxima or Catherine state visit with hat. But this one suits my personal tastes best of all. Now to wonder, do we see a tiara tonight?
ReplyDeleteThis is the travel day. The official visit starts at 10.00 tomorrow Helsinki time.
DeleteWow, immer neue Allianzen
ReplyDeleteThe pantsuit is too dull & masculine looking. It needs a feminine touch like some jewelry, a scarf or bright top inside.
ReplyDeleteThis suit is not pretty or attractive. The trousers are definitely too long.
ReplyDeleteThe whole suit looks too large for Letizia, the pant legs are touching the ground.
ReplyDeleteWhen other European kings and queens are leaving for a state visit they are not photographed as much as the Spanish king an queen. I find the suit a bit too sombre and it looks also a bit oversized. Of course in Finland the temperature can be lower than in Spain. I never saw Queen Maxima or Queen Mathilde leaving for a state visit with a hat. Generally Queen Mathilde change clothes in the plane and steps down formally dressed (with hat and gloves) in the country she visits. Also Queen Maxima wears a hat and gloves when she arrives in a country for a state visit. This is the old European tradition of Queens and Queen consorts to dress-up formally when visiting another country. As for the tiara, since Finland has no king/queen, usually Queen Mathilde wears no tiara and if is she does wear one it is the thinnest tiara she inherted from Queen Fabiola. When she does her hair in an updo, she wears sometimes a broche in her hair. As for the outfit of Queen Letizia we'll see what she will wear tonight.
