The King and Queen of Spain offered a lunch in honour of the President of the Republic of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, at La Zarzuela Palace, Madrid.

The Chilean President is currently on an official visit to Spain, and other European countries to advance economic agreements with the European Union and strengthen bilateral relations with the states he visits.

During the luncheon, King Felipe VI highlighted “Ours are companies that are very close and sensitive to each other, with a significant investment presence, and with immense potential ahead. This explains why Spain exercises, with pleasure and so much naturalness, its vocation as a bridge between the European Union and Chile, thus establishing itself as a solid ally of all initiatives that may require our support at the European level”.

Queen Letizia recovered a floral dress belonging to her mother-in-law, Queen Sofía.

The bodice features flutter sleeves and beaded floral motifs, which Jennifer suggests may be alliums or dandelion seed heads.
