Today, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia made their first official visit abroad as King and Queen of Spain. They traveled to the Vatican City to meet with His Holiness, Pope Francis.
This is the royal couple's fourth meeting with a Pope in the Holy See. Their first meeting was shortly after their wedding in 2004 where they meet John Paul II.
For today's meeting with the Pontif, Queen Letizia adhered to Vatican convention and wore an all-white ensemble, a privilege only reserved for Catholic queens. All other women are required to wear black, preferably with a black veil, when meeting the Pope. It is also custom for Catholic queens to wear a veil, but this is not required for non-religious meetings.
Her Majesty wore a two-piece Felipe Varela ensemble consisting of a knee-length crepe sheath dress and a matching blazer jacket. The jacket features a tonal embroidery along the hem and sleeves.
On her feet were the nude Magrit peep-toe pumps.
Her Ansorena Bezel-Set Diamond and Pearl Earrings were a good choice for this outfit and the occasion.
