The coming abdication of King Juan Carlos of Spain is putting more focus on Princess Letizia who will become queen. Princess Letizia and her husband, the heir to the throne Prince Felipe, have just celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary. The Princess had an established journalism career before meeting the Prince. She was a commoner (unlike her mother-in-law, Queen Sofia, who was Princess of Greece and Denmark until her marriage), and a divorcee, a fact that some conservative people in Catholic Spain found hard to swallow, at least at first.
Like all modern princesses, Princess Letizia is known for her charity work and official duties in Spain and abroad as much as for her sense of style. Her main focus in her public role is support for victims of rare diseases and cooperation with the World Health Organization on nutrition issues.
Green is her color. She makes Kate Middleton look like average.
ReplyDeleteoh! that green gown! she looks stunning. the dress, the makeup, the hair, all just flawless!
ReplyDeleteNearly flawless... (check her skin out )!
DeleteShe is a very pretty woman; just as is Kate Middleton.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe 10 years have passed since they got married - seems like yesterday to me somehow. I think she's absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnna
Those gams!!!
ReplyDeleteJust what are "gams"?
DeleteWhat an elegant woman! I'm very partial to her in that green gown, it makes her look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think she is absolutely gorgeous! I know she's criticized a lot for being dressed too casually, but she always looks very polished and perfect to me. She's not flamboyant, and doesn't wear a lot of jewels. I'm always interested in seeing what she wears.
ReplyDeleteHow does one get to look air brushed like that, like just walking around casually yet looking like a 40's movie star with flattering lighting?
ReplyDeleteLove Letizia, her smart demeanor and proclivity towards dignified pantsuits.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the lower eyeliner in a discreet but gorgeous green tone that she frequently wears.
My only wish would be if she as a queen wore even more pantsuits+ tiaras what a boss combination!
It is a treat and so refreshing to see someone who is so truly elegant. It's tempting to say it's easy for her because of her natural beauty, bone structure, long legs, wealth, and perhaps a great stylist, but we've seen so many counterexamples of others who manage to completely undo all such advantages. She must have good taste, stylistic self-awareness and discipline to be able to stay on course. nozknoz
ReplyDeleteNearly flawless except for her nearly concealed acne
ReplyDeleteHate to be a spoiler - Letizia looks anorexic in some photos - not a good example to young women! In comparison, Kate looks healthy and athletic and down to earth. My real royal role model (except for her smoking) is Queen Margrethe of Denmark - intelligent, articulate, artistic, generous, all you could ask for in a reigning monarch. When she dons one of her sumptuous silk or tafetta evening gowns and stoles, and the crown jewels, you have the personification of a reigning Queen.
