The Queen of Spain held a video conference with the heads of the Confederación Española de Personas con Discapacidad Física y Orgánica COCEMFE (Spanish Confederation of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities) from her home office at the Palace of Zarzuela.

COCEMFE was founded in 1980 to unite, strengthen, and coordinate the actions of entities that work on behalf of people with physical and organic disabilities to defend their rights and improve their quality of life. 

During the pandemic, residential centers have remained open, including, most home help and personal assistance services. Day center activities and other specialised services have been suspended, although great efforts have been made to provide services electronically. The heads expressed concern regarding the uncertainty of the labor situation in Spain and for the future employment of people with disabilities. Her Majesty was also informed of the proposals for the immediate future that have been proposed by the associative movement of COCEMFE. ​

Queen Letizia wore a new green blazer.  I believe it may be the Hugo Boss 'Jalesta' Open Front Jacket in Pine Green.  It originally retailed for US$445 but is now reduced to $178 at Nordsrom.

The King and Queen of Spain held an open dialogue with Young Talents at the Palace of Zarzuela on Thursday. 

Their Majesties held an open two-hour dialogue with eight Spanish Talents, four women, and four men, born between 1984 and 1994 from areas of; research, technology, business, culture, and social action, who explained how they believe the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting Spanish society. In addition, the Young Talents discussed their vision for the future. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia highlighted the need to value what young people are doing for Spain. 

Queen Letizia wore her Hugo Boss 'Koralena' Tweed Jacket and her black Carolina Herrera suede pointed toe pumps.

Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofia participated in a minute's silence at midday on Wednesday to commemorate the victims of COVID-19 outbreak.

The Spanish royal family was accompanied by staff from the Headquarters of the State in a solemn memorial ceremony in the gardens of Zarzuela Palace. 

An official ten days of mourning have been declared, which will be the longest period of mourning in Spanish democracy. Flags will fly at half-mast across the nation, including on navy vessels until the 5th of June to pay tribute to the 27,118 who have lost their lives.

The King and Queen of Spain continued video conferences today from their home at the Palace of Zarzuela.

Their Majesties held a video conference with representatives of the Carrefour Group and Carrefour Solidarity Foundation. Carrefour is the second-biggest hypermarket in Spain which employs more than 54,000 workers, one of the largest employers in Spain. The Foundation supports projects that benefit children with disabilities or at risk of social exclusion, helps people in socially disadvantaged positions, and intervenes in emergency situations in Spain.  During the pandemic Carrefour has been active with donations to food banks and the Ifema Emergency Hospital. The representatives explained the impact of the crisis on their area of trade, the adjustments made to open centers, and how they predict consumers will be more online-based in the short and medium-term.  

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia later held a video conference with the president of the Spanish Confederation of Travel Agencies (CEAV), which represents more than 70,000 workers from 7,000 travel agencies. As a result of the pandemic travel agencies have suffered a great hit, to help counteract the impact the CEAV has requested a series of measures in different administrative areas and has asked the Spanish Tourism Council for direct aid and the application of EU funds for companies. The CEAV also proposes medium-term promotion measures and is working on a tourist collaboration project with the autonomous communities that establishes a subsidised credit to incentivise Spanish families to enjoy vacations in Spain. 

Queen Letizia wore her grey Carolina Herrera crosshatch houndstooth patterned blouse and her bezel set diamond stud earrings which form part of her Australian pearl earrings.

The King and Queen of Spain attended a session of the Scientific Council of the Elcano Royal Institute (ERI) in Madrid.

King Felipe VI is the honorary president of the ERI, which was established in 2001 as a non-profit foundation. It is a think tank and its task is to study international reality and the position of Spain on the global stage.​

The Scientific Council is a consultative body of the Institute and Their Majesties engaged in an analysis session on the effects of COVID-19 on the world via a video conference with members of the Scientific Council, who are experts from different geopolitical areas.

Queen Letizia looked professional in a grey zip front jacket by Hugo Boss. It is the BOSS 'Koralie9' Jacket (£300) featuring a pattered stretch cotton tweed with white piped seams, round neck, 2 slip pockets, and a golden two-way zip fastening.  The piece is from a past season collection and no longer available.

Letizia teamed it with a chic pair of cropped pants.  It's hard to say for certain, but they may be any one of the following three pairs of black cropped trousers she currently has in her closet:  

Today, Letizia opted to carry her Carolina Herrera 'Astrud' black clutch bag. On her feet were her black suede pointed toe pumps - also by the Venezuelan fashion designer.

The King and Queen of Spain continued video conferences at the Palace of Zarzuela on Friday.

Her Majesty held a video conference with the National Federation of Sports Facilities and Gyms (FENID). The president of FENID stated that due to the impact of the pandemic a serious imbalance is being created with many of the SMEs that make up the sector will be forced to close. They explained to the Queen the circumstances in which they could restart services and reopen facilities in conditions that guarantee the health of workers and users. 

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia later held a video conference with the Spanish Confederation of Commerce (CEC) - the business organisation for the defense, representation, and promotion of the general interests of urban and local commerce. Their Majesties expressed their concern and commitment to small businesses in the face of the pandemic. The CEC considers it necessary to adopt a set of stimulus measures to reactivate demand and proposes the launch of a campaign to raise awareness of buying from small establishments to ensure their survival.

For today's video calls, Queen Letizia wore a light grey Hugo Boss Superfine Merino Wool Crew Neck Sweater. It is a past season piece which I was able to find at Joli Closet, a second-hand retailer.

She also debuted a pair of black Hugo Boss 'Royal' pointed toe ballerinas.  

Made in Italy, these pointed toe slip-on flats have a suede construction and are topped with a playful folded bow detail.  They originally retailed for US$375 but are now discounted down to $149.95 at Nordstrom Rack.

Letizia accessorized with her beloved bezel set diamond stud earrings which form part of her Australian pearl earrings. 

Wishing King Felipe's and Queen Letizia a happy 16th wedding anniversary!  The couple wed at Almudena Cathedral in Madrid on 22nd May 2004.

The King and Queen of Spain paid an early morning visit to Mercamadrid - Spain's largest food market wholesaler based in Madrid to learn about the challenges in getting food to Spanish households during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After a brief explanation of the Mercamadrid facilities, Their Majesties toured the central fish market and fruit and vegetable stools. During their visit, they also had the opportunity to speak with Mercamadrid staff, service companies, and organisations that collaborate in COVID-19 management. Before departing King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia applauded the workers in appreciation. ​

​

Queen Letizia wore a black fitted knit top and slim trousers offset with a Prince of Wales check blazer by CH Carolina Herrera. 

The £750 jacket features a single breasted front with flap pockets, notched lapel and black buttons.

Interestingly, Spanish designer Roberto Verino offers a blazer with the exact same silhouette and check pattern.  From what I can see, the only difference is the colour of the buttons.

In the photo below we can see Letizia's jacket has black buttons and is hence wearing the Carolina Herrera model.

She complemented the menswear-inspired look with her Uterque Eva sole bluchers.  They were first seen in 2017 during a private shopping trip in Madrid.

Letizia accessorized with her beloved bezel set diamond stud earrings which form part of her Australian pearl earrings. ​

The King and Queen of Spain continued video conferences at the Palace of Zarzuela.

Their Majesties held an open meeting via video conference with representatives from the new generation of young Spanish literature. They spoke with Elvira Sastre, Leti Sala, Marwan, and Defreds and were informed of how COVID-19 had affected their situations and the needs of the cultural field moving forward.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia later held a video conference with representatives of the Spanish music scene including; David Bisbal, José Mercé, and Miguel Poveda, with whom they discussed the impact of the pandemic and future prospects. There are approximately 850 festivals per year in Spain which bring together more than 2.5 million people. The pandemic has had a particularly damaging effect on this sector with the cancellation of events, festivals, and performances, leaving artists, promoters, agencies, assemblers, technical teams, and the entire industry that functions in this area unable to work, in most cases these are small companies and freelancers. David Bisbal, Spanish singer, songwriter, and actor recently participated in an online charity concert 'La Liga Santander Fest' which brought together more than 50 million viewers and raised €1,003,532 for the fight against COVID-19.

Letizia wore a grey sweater with a deep V-neck and a yoke seam along the back. Please drop me a line if you recognise the brand!

The King and Queen of Spain continued video conferences today from their home at the Palace of Zarzuela.

Her Majesty chaired the meeting of the Foundation for Aid Against Drug Addiction (FAD) Board of Trustees via video conference. FAD encourages the development of young people through education and the prevention of social risk behaviors.

The Queen, Honorary President of FAD was informed of the educational emergency actions that are being launched; Information Service for young people, new research related to the crisis, and new programs designed to reduce the effects of the pandemic on the most vulnerable young people. During the meeting, the consequences derived from the closure of schools and the situation of students after confinement was discussed. FAD has also launched a sociological investigation, in collaboration with the University of Granada and Malaga, on the educational community after the crisis, with the aim of altering actions to make them as effective as possible.

Queen Letizia wore a new red speckled jacket featuring a collarless neckline, concealed zip closure, and contrast trim detail.

The style is similar to this Hugo Boss jacquard jacket, however I notice Letizia's jacket does not have the black trim at the cuff. This detail may have been removed if she had the sleeves shortened.

Later, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia held a video conference with managers and workers from METRO Madrid. The group explained to Their Majesties that during the spread of the virus shifts and schedules were altered to continue service, METRO Madrid has transferred sanitary products and key workers during the pandemic. Economically, confinement has had a significant impact, at the highest quarantine peaks demand fell by almost 90%, which could see a decrease of trips of up to 45% for the year. At the initiative of a group of METRO Madrid employees, thousands of family members, friends, and clients have raised more than 110,000 Euros to buy water, cleaning materials, and bedding, to deliver to the elderly, welfare centers, and families with limited resources.

The King and Queen of Spain presided over the presentation of the COTEC 2020 Report, with a round table on 'innovation for economic recovery' at Edificio Central de Distrito Telefónica in Madrid.

The annual COTEC Report is prepared by the Cotec Foundation for Innovation of which King Felipe VI is the honorary president.  It is a private non-profit organisation whose aim is to promote innovation as an engine for economic and social development.

The COTEC Report reflects the situation of R&D & Innovation in Spain through the analysis of the main national, regional, and international indicators. The Report revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects 'make it even more evident that science and innovation are fundamental to face global crises and great social challenges'. 

Queen Letizia brought back the mixed fuchsia bouclé top she first wore in November of 2016 for a visit to the headquarters of the Spanish Episcopal Conference. The brand/designer of the piece remains unknown.

Today she teamed it with slim black trousers and her black Carolina Herrera suede pointed toe pumps.
