The Queen of Spain chaired a working meeting with The Urgent Spanish Foundation -FundéuRAE (La Fundación del Español Urgente) on Tuesday at the Royal Spanish Academy, Madrid. 

The FundéuRAE is a non-profit organisation founded in February 2005, the result of an agreement between the EFE Agency and the BBVA bank, with the advice of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), whose main objective is to promote the good use of Spanish in the media. Its team of journalists, linguists, lexicographers, orthotypegraphers, proofreaders and translators offer recommendations and answers daily queries, to aid those who use the language in their work.

Her Majesty has followed the work of FundéuRAE since 2005 and accepted her honorary presidency in January 2021. Queen Letizia was informed of the projects and works in development that the Foundation plans to carry out in 2021 including the potential points on the new edition of the Language and Journalism Congress, which will take place after the summer in San Millán de la Cogolla.

On Tuesday, The King and Queen of Spain had two engagements in Madrid.  At Zarzuela Palace, Their Majesties received Hugh Elliott, the ambassador of the United Kingdom in Spain, to whom they conveyed their condolences on the death of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. ​

His Royal Highness, aged 99 passed away on 9th April 2021 and was the longest-serving consort of a reigning British monarch. 

Later in the day, Their Majesties attended the presentation ceremony for the launch of the new IFEMA brand, at the IFEMA Municipal Palace. 

IFEMA 'Institución Ferial de Madrid' (Fair Institution of Madrid) is an entity charged with the organisation of fairs, halls and congresses in their facilities in Madrid. The new corporate identity is identified with IFEMA's determination to evolve its business model, expand and diversify its revenue streams, generate opportunities and alliances to boost its presence in new markets, in addition to giving value and significance to the Madrid brand.

Today, Queen Letizia premiered a pleated skirt by Adolfo Domínguez.  

The cream midi length skirt features soleil pleats with a fine black contrast.

Letizia teamed it with a black sleeveless top with a mock neck.

I initially thought it was her Hugo Boss 'Fasmine' knit shell top but this new style doesn't have the same side ribbing detail or extended sleeve as the 'Fasmine' model. Furthermore, the top appears to have a double ribbed trim around the arm opening.

The finely ribbed mock neck does appear to match the knit top Letizia wore in September of 2018.

Separating the top and the skirt was her black ​Burberry ruffle leather waist belt.

Letizia complemented the monochrome ensemble with her black Nina Ricci 'Arc' leather clutch and Manolo Blahnik BB snakeskin-embossed pumps with a custom rubber platform sole ​(repeat).

She finished the outfit with her dazzling diamond teardrop earrings.

The King and Queen of Spain inaugurated the Iberdrola Innovation and Training Campus under the theme RETO (Challenge) 'Recovery, Energy, Transition and SDG' and delivered the Supplier of the Year Awards, at San Agustín del Guadalix, Madrid.

The Iberdrola group is a global energy leader, the first wind power producer and one of the largest electricity companies by market capitalisation in the world. The Iberdrola Innovation and Training Campus has state-of-the-art facilities which represent Iberdrola's commitment to technology, R&D and collaboration with technology centres to lead the energy transition, green recovery and the employability of young people and senior professionals in sectors of the future. Approximately 13,000 people receive training development in its classrooms annually.

After the initial greetings, Their Majesties moved to the auditorium where the 'CHALLENGE COVID Special Mention Awards' and 'Iberdrola RETO Awards' were presented. Afterwards, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia toured the Campus, signed the book of honour and were photographed by the commemorative plaque marking their visit.

Queen Letizia stepped out in a new olive green pant suit for the visit to the Iberdrola campus.

The separates are from Spanish fashion brand, Bimba Y Lola.  The set consists of a double-breasted blazer with peaked lapels, and high-rise straight-cut trousers.

The Spanish Queen softened the masculine suit with a black camisole featuring a scallop lace trim.

She carried the ​Nina Ricci 'Marche' handbag with a snakeskin-embossed flap front.

On her feet were the black Prada Saffiano patent pointy-toe pumps.

Letizia finished the look with her Gold & Roses Double Dagger Earrings.

The King and Queen of Spain visited Fuendetodos on Monday to attend several events commemorating the 275th anniversary of Francisco de Goya’s birth.  ​

Goya (1746-1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and throughout his long and successful career was a commentator and chronicler of his era. ​

Their Majesties visited the house of Goya's birthplace which houses the exhibition 'Sapristi! Tribute to Goya'. They continued to Ignacio Zuloaga Exhibition House, where they held a brief meeting with representatives of the Goya Foundation in Aragon and saw the exhibition 'Solana versus Goya. Mask and simulation', by José Gutiérrez Solana.  They later toured the 'Antonio Saura' Engraving Workshop and the Engraving Museum, where they explored rooms dedicated to Goya's four series of engravings, Los Caprichos, Los Desastres de la Guerra, La Tauromaquia and Los Disparates.

At the Fuendetodos Space, Their Majesties presided over the meeting of the Goya Foundation in Aragón and Goya Fuendetodos Cultural Consortium Board of Trustees. Filmmaker, Carlos Saura, presented the project 'Filmando a Goya'. Concluding their visit, they had a brief meeting with the attendees.

Queen Letizia looked chic in a monochrome ensemble for today's trip to Fuendetodos.

She brought back the white textured bell sleeve jacket which has been in her closet since 2008.

The designer of the piece has remained unknown, however I believe I may have finally solved the origin of the jacket!  In the photo below I can see the Burberry logo engraved on the black oversized buttons.  It feels so good to put this ID to rest!

UPDATE: @ModeMathilde tells me the jacket is available at Vestiaire Collective.

Letizia teamed her black & white Hugo Boss striped sweater with the unidentified black cropped tie-waist trousers she debuted recently for a visit to Toledo.

Earlier in the day we saw Letizia carry her ​Nina Ricci 'Marche' handbag.

She completed the look with a new pair of black suede pumps featuring a covered buckle on the vamp. 

They are the 'Carrie' slingbacks (€180) by Spanish artisan shoemaker, Isabel Abdo.

The King and Queen of Spain visited the Real Fábrica de Tapices (Royal Tapestry Factory), on the occasion of its 300th anniversary in Madrid.

The Royal Tapestry Factory was founded by Felipe V in 1721, it is a leading historical manufactory in the field of luxury textile manufacturing and restoration of carpets and tapestries. Since its inception, the Royal Tapestry Factory has played a fundamental role in the conservation of the Spanish textile heritage, actively participating in the development of procedures and technologies for the restoration of historical fabrics.

Their Majesties toured the Royal Tapestry Factory and had the opportunity to see masters and artisans work with the same centuries-old techniques that have made the centenary factory an international benchmark.

The King and Queen of Spain attended the inauguration of the new building of the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Museum of Contemporary Art) of the Fundación Helga de Alvear (Helga de Alvear Foundation), in Cáceres.

The centre will be a benchmark for contemporary art that will house 3,000 pieces, the construction is also the Spanish candidate in the 'Mies Van de Rohe 2021' European Architecture Awards. The Helga de Alvear Foundation is an NPO, autonomous and independently managed cultural entity, created in 2006. Its purpose is to fulfil Helga de Alvear's desire to share her collection with society and to the interest of several public institutions from Extremadura to provide Cáceres with a centre for research, dissemination and education in the field of contemporary visual creation.

Upon arrival, the King and Queen revealed the commemorative plaque and received explanations by Emilio Tuñón, the architect, and José María Viñuela, patron of the Helga de Alvear Foundation and curator of the collection. They toured the new building, signed the Museum's Book of Honor and held a brief meeting with the attendees.

Queen Letizia stepped out in her Felipe Varela tweed dress which first made an appearance in October of 2017 (shown below).

Today she contrasted the white and metallic woven dress with black accessories, opting for a black skinny belt and her Manolo Blahnik BB snakeskin embossed pumps with a custom rubber platform sole.

Letizia coordinated the reptilian inspired pumps with her Nina Ricci 'Marche' handbag featuring a snakeskin embossed flap front.

She finished the look with her beloved gold bamboo design huggie hoop earrings.

As Honorary President of the FAD, Her Majesty was informed of the actions carried out in relation to COVID-19, including a brief overview of the main activities and projects carried out last year and some of the actions planned for 2021. 

Queen Letizia looked stylish in a simple black ensemble topped with her monochrome Nina Ricci coat.

The black and white patterned coat premiered in Paris during the 2015 State Visit to France.  Letizia wore it for lunch with the French Prime Minister and his wife at the Hôtel Matignon (shown below).

Today she complemented the effortless ensemble with her Carolina Herrera 'Astrud' clutch bag and black suede Hugo Boss 'Lara' loafers.

Letizia completed the outfit with her ​Gold & Roses Double Dagger Earrings.
