The King and Queen of Spain traveled to London on Sunday to attend the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II which will take place on Monday morning at Westminster Abbey. Upon arrival, Their Majesties visited the Spanish Embassy. Queen Letizia wore a black dress and paid homage to British royalty by wearing Queen Ena's 'joyas de pasar' pearl and diamond brooch.

Queen Ena, born in 1887 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland was the youngest grand daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.  She became the Queen of Spain as the wife of King Alfonso XIII from their marriage in 1906.  She created the 'joyas de pasar' - a collection of Spanish royal jewels that passes from monarch to monarch. The photograph below shows Queen Ena wearing the brooch circa 1920's.

Shortly after, the royal couple joined King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia along with Heads of States from around the world at Buckingham Palace for a reception.
Queen Letizia teamed a simple black pencil skirt with a black Carolina Herrera blouse featuring a tonal floral applique. She accessorized with diamond cluster earrings.

The blouse appears to be from the Spring 2020 collection as it shares design elements with other pieces found in the set.

The black dress with the Queen Ena pearl and diamond brooch, beautiful, magnificent brooch.
The black skirt and CH blouse I like, simple and tasteful. The diamond earrings were the perfect choice they are stunning.

How thoughtful of Leti to wear a brooch with historical connections to the United Kingdom. It seems everybody loved QEII! Leti and Sophia look very nice.

The Joyas de Pasar brooch was an inspired touch by Letizia originating as it does from the late Queen's family. It looks well against the neat oblong neckline of her fitted bodice. Her sombre all-black reception outfit was equally appropriate, with the Herrera applique flowers. Her hairstyle was beautiful for all day and the reception was the perfect occasion for the diamond cluster earrings, tasteful and quietly magnificent, just like Queen Elizabeth herself.
