The Queen of Spain attended the exhibition La otra Corte. Mujeres de la Casa de Austria en los monasterios reales de Las Descalzas y La Encarnación (The Other Court. Women of the House of Austria in the royal monasteries of Las Descalzas and La Encarnación).​

The exhibition at the Royal Palace contains portraits of women from the House of Austria in two Royal Monasteries in Madrid; The Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, built in the 16th century, where Franciscan nuns resided, and the Monasterio de la Encarnacion, built in the 17th century, inhabited by Augustinian nuns. The exhibition highlights the way in which the palace and religious aspects are linked and the strong relations with the Austrian Empire.

Her Majesty received a guided tour by the curator Fernando Checa and held a brief meeting with authorities.   ​

Queen Letizia stepped out in a new petal pink pant suit from Hugo Boss.

The separates consist of the BOSS 'Jericoa' Stretch Wool Double Breasted Blazer (US$595) and the BOSS 'Tiluna' Stretch Wool Ankle Trousers (US$248).

Letizia teamed the suit with her white Carolina Herrera cap sleeve silk blouse with pleated neckline.

On her feet she debuted the HUGO 'Mayfair' pump (£199) rendered in a pink patent leather and  featuring a block heel with pointed toe.

Letizia finished the look with her gold bamboo design huggie hoop earrings which still remain unidentified.

I believe this may have been Letizia's final engagement of the year. Their Majesties are expected to resume royal duties in the first week of 2020 when they preside over the traditional celebration of the Pascua Militar on January 6th.

Feliz Navidad and Happy New Year to all my readers!
