Casa Real released a series of ten new official portraits of the Spanish royal family on Monday.

In the photos dubbed "The Gala King and Queen" His Majesty King Felipe VI wore the uniform of the Capitán General del Ejército de Tierra.

Queen Letizia wore her fuchsia pink Carolina Herrera floral embroidered gown decorated with the blue and white sash of the Dame Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III. The gown was first seen at the gala dinner celebrating the enthronement of Japanese Emperor Naruhito last October.

Her Majesty donned the Fleur de Lys tiara, a diadem exclusively reserved for Spanish queens. It is the most prominent tiara that the Spanish royal family possesses and it is affectionately named the "La Buena," or "The Good One" by the royal family.

Letizia complemented the tiara with the joyas de pasar diamond earrings and bracelets.

On her sash was pinned the fleur de lys diamond brooch which originates from the centrepiece of her "Princess" tiara.

In the only family portrait of the series, Queen Letizia wore her red Carolina Herrera piped sheath dress which she debuted on a visit to Covadonga in September 2018.

She premiered the same design in blue for the portrait below.

The photographs were taken by Estela de Castro at the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Palace of Zarzuela. The use of natural light is the main element that characterizes Ms. Castro's professional work in her photographic portraits.

The new portraits will be officially distributed through the National Heritage website (www.patrimonionacional.es).
