The Queen of Spain presided over an act of tribute to Clara Campoamor, at the Congress of Deputies, Madrid.

Clara Campoamor Rodríguez 1888 -1972 was a Spanish politician and feminist who is best known for her advocacy for women's rights and suffrage during the writing of the Spanish Constitution of 1931. Campoamor's advocacy led to the inclusion of constitutional language that sought to guarantee equality between men and women. 

The Congress begins celebrations of the 90th anniversary of the approval of the female vote in Spain with a tribute to Clara Campoamor. Campoamor's desk and some personal belongings, donated to Congress, have been moved to the room of the Palace that bears her name.

After the initial greetings, Her Majesty saw a bust of Clara Campoamor, her desk, documents and personal items from her office. Later in the 'Salón de los Pasos Perdidos' (Hall of Lost Steps) successive interventions took place by the First Vice President of the Government and the Presidents of the Senate and Congress who highlighted the importance of paying tribute to Clara Campoamor.

On Friday the 26th of March, the King and Queen of Spain concluded their two day State Trip to the Principality of  Andorra.

Their day began with a visit to the María Moline Spanish School, which is one of the six Spanish public schools in the principality. During their visit, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia had the opportunity to converse with teachers and students where they were informed of the educational model in the Pyrenean country. They also revealed a commemorative plaque, toured the College's facilities, and visited the Natural Sciences laboratory. Afterwards, Their Majesties held a meeting with the Spanish educational community in Andorra, where they were able to talk with the directors of the centres of the Spanish system present in Andorra.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia moved to the Church of Santa Coloma and the adjacent 'Espai Columba' museum. The Church of Santa Coloma is Andorra's oldest church, dating to the pre-Romanesque period. It contains remnants of murals made in the 12th century by the Master of Sant Coloma. Most of the murals were removed in 1933 and until 2007 were in Germany. The murals are now in the Andorran Government Exhibition Hall. The Espai Columba museum is a cultural facility whose objective is to guard, preserve and present the mural paintings of the apse of the church of Santa Coloma and various liturgical objects from Andorran churches.

At noon, Their Majesties attended an official lunch offered by the Cap de Govern of Andorra in their honour, which was attended by the General Trustee, and the representatives of the Episcopal Co-Prince and the French Co-Prince.

Bringing the state visit to a close, the King and Queen visited Casa Museo d'Areny-Plandolit, which is the only example of a manor house in Andorra that has survived intact to this day. The family owes its social standing to Guillem d’Areny-Plandolit, Baron of Senaller and Gramenet and the First Syndic of the General Council of the Andorra Valleys, who led the New Reform of 1866, an illustrious figure in the history of Andorra. ​

The King and Queen of Spain hosted the President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa for dinner on Friday evening at the Palace of Zarzuela in Madrid.

Earlier in the day, King Felipe VI held a meeting with the President of the Portuguese Republic and attending authorities, in the Tapestry Room of the Royal Palace of Madrid.

The King and Queen of Spain presided over a commemorative event for the European Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Terrorism, ​in the Gardens of the Royal Palace of Madrid.

The act brought together the highest institutions of Spain along with the European Union and representatives of the groups of national and international victims of terrorism. The European Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Terrorism was established after the Madrid attacks on the 11th of March 2004.  It honours victims who have been left with consequences or who have lost their lives due to terrorist attacks.

Queen Letizia wore her black Carolina Herrera mabe pearl button wool coat, paired with her Steve Madden 'Dominique' over-the-knee suede boots.

The Queen of Spain presided over the official ceremony for World Rare Diseases Day at the Headquarters of the Fundación Mútua Madrileña, Madrid.

The main objective of World Rare Diseases Day is to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients' lives. This year it is celebrated within the framework of the campaign 'Symptoms of hope' powered by the Spanish Federation for Rare Diseases (FEDER), which seeks to position the impact of COVID-19 on the community as well as the lessons learned in the last year.

During the event Her Majesty addressed the auditorium 'In the last twelve months, each and every one of you has been, even more, an example and a reference of dignity, courage and strength', referring to the struggle before and during the pandemic. Queen Letizia also delivered this year's awards which recognised initiatives that have committed to research, fought for social transformation or have come together to guarantee the care of families during the health crisis.

The King and Queen of Spain attended the presentation the Scholarships of the Spanish Cooperation at Palacio de Viana, Madrid.

The Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and the Carolina Foundation bring together their scholarship, lecturer and internship programs on a single web page under the slogan 'Scholarships that change lives, scholarships designed to promote the common good'. It brings together the numerous study plans and professional practices offered by the AECID and the Carolina Foundation, institutions promoting the initiative, in solidarity with the partner countries of Spanish Cooperation.

The Queen of Spain received two audiences on Thursday at the Palacio de La Zarzuela, Madrid.

Her Majesty's first audience was with a representation of the Confederación Salud Mental España (Spanish Mental Health Confederation), who informed the Queen of how the pandemic is affecting the mental health of the population. The president of the confederation explained how restrictive measures and the socioeconomic consequences that accompany it 'are beginning to take their toll on the mental health of the population.

Queen Letizia's second audience of the day was with a representation of the Asociación Europea contra las Leucodistrofias ELA-España (European Association against Leukodystrophies ELA-Spain). The representatives explained their aim of focusing funding on programs dedicated to improving the health and well-being of patients. 

For today's audience hearings, Queen Letizia offset a black top and slim trousers with a glen plaid blazer by CH Carolina Herrera. The £750 double-breasted jacket is a new addition to Letizia's closet.

She also debuted a pair of black Uterque leather loafer with chain detail.

The King and Queen of Spain presented the journalism awards of the Madrid Press Association (APM) for the years 2019 and 2020, at Cybele Palace in Madrid on Tuesday.

The pandemic forced the APM to postpone the ruling of the 2019 edition, so 2019 has been awarded jointly with the 2020 edition. The APM awards are considered among the most prestigious in the sector and are generally convened at the end of each year. 

Queen Letizia arrived at the event wearing her pink Carolina Herrera brushed wool coat.

The cozy topper is from the designer's F/W 2017 collection and was first worn by Her Majesty in November of 2018 for the State welcome of the President of China.

Today Queen Letizia opted to wear her Reiss 'Marlie' ombre pleated midi skirt with a basic black crew-neck knit.

We first saw the eye catching skirt for a Rare Diseases World Day event in March of 2020.

Letizia complemented today's look with her Carolina Herrera 'Astrud' clutch bag and Steve Madden 'Dominique' over-the-knee suede boots.

She completed the ensemble with her Gold and Roses Balance Combo Earrings.

Earlier in the day, Casa Real released a pre-recorded message from Queen Letizia to mark the 18th edition of Safer Internet Day (SID).

The National Institute of Cybersecurity annually celebrates SID, and for the first time this year, it carried out events digitally due to the pandemic.  The day not only aims to create a safer Internet but a better Internet, where technology is used in a responsible, respectful, critical and creative way. SID targets children, young people, parents and guardians, teachers, educators and social workers, as well as businesses and policy-makers, encouraging them to actively participate in creating a better Internet. 

It appears the pre-recorded message was filmed last Friday because Queen Letizia wore the same outfit for the meeting of the Delegate Commission of the Princess of Girona Foundation (shown below).

​The King and Queen of Spain presided over the twenty-seventh meeting of the Delegate Commission of the Princess of Girona Foundation (FPdGi) at the Palacio de La Zarzuela, Madrid.

The FPdGi is a private foundation, which was created in 2009. It is promoted by approximately 90 top-level employers, King Felipe VI is the honorary president on behalf of his eldest daughter, Princess Leonor. The foundation aspires to be a benchmark at the state level in supporting young people in their professional and personal development, placing special interest in the detection of talented young people who serve as contemporary references to other young people (FPdGi Awards), as well as programs for the improved employability (Talent Rescuers) and educational transformation of young teachers.

It appears Queen Letizia wore her evergreen Carolina Herrera pant suit.

It consists of a wool-blend longline jacket and matching straight-leg trousers.

Letizia first stepped out in the two-piece suit last February for the FPdGi 'Social' awards.

Unfortunately there are limited photos from today's event. I will update the post if any further outfit details become available.

The King & Queen of Spain undertook their first public engagement of 2021.

​Their Majesties presided over the traditional celebration of the Pascua Militar, which is deeply rooted in the Spanish military and dates back to 1782 during the reign of Carlos III. The ceremony is held annually on the day of Epiphany at the Royal Palace of Madrid.

After the ordinance honours, the National Anthem, and a salute of 21 cannon shots, King Felipe VI reviewed the troops.

Their Majesties then moved to the Throne Room where they greeted the President of the Government, the Minister of Defense, the three Armies, the Royal and Military Orders of San Fernando and San Hermenegildo, the Civil Guard and the Brotherhood of Veterans.

Once the greetings had concluded the King awarded decorations to different members of the commissions and gave a speech. Due to the pandemic attendees were reduced and the event flowed faster than previous years. ​

As tradition dedicates, Queen Letizia wore a long dress. It is customary for royal women to wear a full length gown to the Pascua Militar ceremony. Below is a look back at Letizia's previous ensembles since becoming Queen consort:

Today she opted for a black straight long skirt, offset with a white voluminous Maksu 'Fontana' silk blouse (€154) featuring an asymmetric placket with contrasting decorative buttons. 

Her Majesty rugged up with her black Carolina Herrera fur collar cape when she arrived at the palace for the parade.

Letizia teamed the look with bespoke accessories in patent leather. She carried her pewter Felipe Varela envelope clutch, and on her feet were the Magrit 'Laura' pumps.

She finished the look with her black star-burst drop earrings with diamond hoops.

Later that afternoon, the Spanish royal family were pictured leaving Zarzuela Palace en route to the home of Letizia's father for private celebrations marking the Feast of the Epiphany.
