The official program commenced with the Spanish royal family receiving the Pope at the Royal Palace of Madrid for a ceremonial welcome.
For the apostolic welcome, Queen Letizia wore her white The 2nd Skin Co ‘Lady’ Guipure Dress — a symbolic sartorial choice that embodied the rare privilège du blanc, a tradition permitting select Catholic queens to wear white in the Pope’s presence rather than the customary black attire typically required for women meeting the pontiff.
On her feet were a new pair of custom Magrit 'Carlota' sling-back pumps in white snakeskin.
She finished the look with her Gold & Roses 'Luzia' Stars Earrings.
