Prince Charles charms Queen Letizia with a kiss on her hand as she dons £13,000 earrings

Queen Letizia is a royal lauded for her stunning style.

Today was no different as the wife of King Felipe looked beautiful in blue.

Letizia flew to the UK to mark an opening of an exhibition honouring a famous Spanish painter.

Charles and the Spanish royal appeared to get on well at the event.

Royal reporter Richard Palmer was at the event and tweeted: “Queen Letizia of Spain arrives 20 minutes late to attend the opening with Prince Charles of Sorolla: Spanish Master of Light at the National Gallery in London tonight.”

Letizia was in London today to open the exhibition alongside the British royal.

Scrolla is a Spanish painter, and so the visit from the European royal was rather fitting.

The Queen, who is a mother-of-two, looked incredibly beautiful in a multi-coloured floral dress.

The dress had hues of navy, emerald and red and fell mid-calf.

It had three-quarter length sleeves. The full skirt was exaggerated by a nipped in waist.

Letizia’s hair was pulled back into a chic ponytail, parted in the middle.

She held a dark navy blue clutch and wore stilettos in a matching hue.

She wore a pair of show stopping earrings with enormous blue stones.

Queen Letizia wore a pair of earrings which fans on Twitter identified as being Bvlgari, an Italian luxury brand.

While the Queen’s pair were not available on the brand’s site, it appeared that they were from the “MVSA” collection.

These are worth £13,400, but a bespoke pair for a royal could be worth much, much more.

The last time Letizia wore these spectacular gems was in September 2018, at the Royal Theatre in Madrid.

Queen Letizia of Spain: Five facts about the Spanish royal

Career

Letizia was already famous in her native Spain thanks to a career as a TV presenter and journalist.

She even won an award for best Spanish journalist under 30 in 2002, just before she met King Felipe.

Wedding

Felipe and Letizia Ortiz, as she was called then, wed in 2004.

She wore a long-sleeved wedding dress with a 15 foot train by Manuel Pertegaz.

As is custom with royal weddings, Letizia wore a tiara. Her diamond and platinum Prussian tiara is a German imperial heirloom created in 1913 by Koch for Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia’s wedding to Prince Ernst August.

Family

Letizia is the eldest of three daughters, with her middle sister tragically taking her own life in 2007.

Now, Letizia has two daughters, Leonor, Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofia of Spain. She is a hands on mum, taking the children to school and enjoying countless family holidays with them.

Divorce

Letizia has been married before, wedding Alfonso Guerrero, a teacher, in 1998.

However she did not require an annulment before her roman-catholic marriage to then Prince Felipe in 2004 as her marriage to Guerrero was a civil ceremony.

Plastic surgery

In 2008, Letizia underwent surgery on her nose to correct a respiratory problem, the Spanish palace confirmed at the time.
