Queen Letizia Debuts a Floral Shirtdress for Visit to Guadalupe

28/5/2025

On Wednesday, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia made an official visit to Guadalupe, in the province of Cáceres, as part of the celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of the King’s proclamation.

During their visit, the King and Queen were welcomed at the Guadalupe Town Hall, where the mayor, José Miguel Martín, presented the King with the town’s ceremonial staff. Both royals signed the town’s guest book and greeted residents from the balcony, receiving a warm welcome from the locals.

Afterwards, they visited the Fray Sebastián García Day Centre and Residence for the Elderly. The King and Queen spent time with the residents and staff, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to social care and community engagement.

The highlight of the trip was a visit to the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. Originally built as a small chapel in the late 13th century and expanded in the 14th century, the monastery has been the site of historic moments — including the audience where the Catholic Monarchs offered Christopher Columbus the ships for his voyage to the New World.

The visit highlighted the Spanish Crown’s dedication to maintaining close ties with communities and celebrating the nation’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

On Saturday, Infanta Sofía celebrated a significant milestone, graduating from UWC Atlantic College in Wales. The ceremony, held at the historic St Donat’s Castle, marked the completion of her two-year International Baccalaureate program.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia attended the graduation ceremony of Infanta Sofia from UWC Atlantic College in Wales on 24 May 2025.

Joined by her parents, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, Sofía received her diploma in a heartfelt “Leavers Celebration,” surrounded by peers from 58 nationalities.

The event reflected the college’s mission to foster international understanding through education, a path also followed by her sister, Princess Leonor, who graduated in 2023. Unable to attend due to her ongoing naval training, Leonor shared a heartfelt video message, expressing her pride and affection for Sofía.

This graduation marks a new chapter for the 18-year-old Infanta, second in line to the Spanish throne, as she prepares for future academic pursuits, possibly abroad, with no military training planned. The day was a proud moment for the Spanish royal family, showcasing their close bond.

Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofía both dazzled in red at the graduation. Her Majesty repeated a Hugo Boss pant suit consisting of a 'Jaline' Double-Breasted Blazer and coordinating 'Hovani' Bootcut Trousers.

Queen Letizia Honors Papal Tradition in White at Pope Leo XIV’s Inaugural Mass

On Sunday, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain attended the inaugural Mass marking the commencement of Pope Leo XIV's papacy in St. Peter's Square, Vatican City.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain attended the inaugural Mass marking the commencement of Pope Leo XIV's papacy in St. Peter's Square, Vatican City on 18 May 2025.

Upon their arrival at St. Peter’s Basilica, Their Majesties were received by the Holy See’s Chief of Protocol, Javier Domingo Fernández. They made their way through the basilica and exited through the central doors into St. Peter’s Square, where they took their designated seats to the left of the altar in the section reserved for Spain.

Following the ceremony, they engaged in a private audience with the Pope inside St. Peter's Basilica.

During their visit, the Spanish monarchs also met with international dignitaries, including President Dina Boluarte of Peru and President Sergio Mattarella of Italy. Additionally, they convened with the Spanish delegation at the residence of Spain's ambassador to the Holy See.

At the inaugural Mass for Pope Leo XIV's pontificate in St. Peter's Square, Queen Letizia made a symbolic impression in a sophisticated white ensemble, embodying the rare privilège du blanc—a tradition that permits select Catholic queens to wear white in the Pope’s presence, rather than the customary black attire required for women at formal Vatican events. This honor, rooted in centuries-old protocol, underscores Spain’s deep historical ties to the Catholic Church and signifies both reverence and respect during the pontifical ceremony.

She donned a bespoke midi-length dress crafted from white crepe by Redondo Brand, a Spanish occasionwear label founded by Jorge Redondo in 2019. The dress featured elegant long sleeves and a refined asymmetrical draped neckline, harmonizing modern design with the solemnity of the occasion.

The mantilla was crafted by the esteemed Spanish firm Lina Sevilla, based in Seville. Founded by Marcelina Fernández and Francisco Montero, the brand has a rich history in Andalusian craftsmanship. Mila Montero, the current director, shared that the Spanish Royal Household approached them for this significant occasion. The design was carefully selected to complement Her Majesty's ensemble by Redondo Brand. Montero expressed pride in the Queen's choice, noting that she wore the mantilla impeccably, adapting it seamlessly to her style.

Queen Letizia upheld her personal tradition of wearing the Ansorena bezel-set diamond and pearl earrings, a cherished choice for papal audiences. She wore them during her first meeting with the late Pope Francis shortly after becoming Queen Consort in 2014.
