Queen Letizia and King Felipe put on united front after mother-in-law Easter argument

Queen Letizia of Spain, 45, joined her husband King Felipe, 50, to attend the ‘La Caixa’ scholarship awards in Madrid today.

Letizia wore a cornflower blue jumper with small buttons on the arm which she paired with a pleated floral print skirt.

The skirt came down past Letizia’s knees, and paired with the jumper, had a frumpy effect overall.

The royal did add a youthful touch with her shoes, which were black patent stillettos with a cross-over strap.

A pair of bright blue and gold drop earrings could be seen hanging from Letizia’s ears.

The royals were seen together for the first time since Letizia was caught in an embarrassing moment with her mother-in-law Queen Sofia over Easter.

Tension between the pair was caught on camera, with Sofia attempting to pose for a picture with her two granddaughters.

But her former TV newsreader daughter-in-law first stood in the way – and then seemed to push Queen Sofia’s arm away from her eldest daughter after a short exchange of angry-seeming words.

The 79-year-old put her arm back round Princess Leonor’s shoulder after resisting Queen Letizia’s challenge.

Video footage was beamed around the world, making headlines over the Easter weekend to the embarrassment of the Spanish royals.

Queen Letizia has already made two solo appearances since the furore. Days later, she attended a a seminar on informative treatment of disability in social networks.

The royal looked sleek in black trousers paired with a simple black top.

Adding a pop of colour, Letizia wore a red, white and black collarless jacket.

She completed the look with a pair of black patent stilettos and a plain black leather clutch which she carried in one hand.

Her hair hung straight over her shoulders, while Letizia kept her makeup simple.

Letizia showed off her wild side in animal print yesterday, as she attended the ‘International Friendship Award’ at IESE Business School in Madrid.

The mum-of-two opted for a chic monochrome outfit for her day out alone.

Showing off her trim figure, the Spanish royal wore a black short sleeve jumper and leopard print pencil skirt.

She paired this with severe patent black stiletto heels and a simple black clutch.
