On Saturday, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain attended the funeral mass for His Holiness Pope Francis at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
Accompanied by the official Spanish delegation, the royal couple paid their respects during the solemn ceremony, which brought together dignitaries and faithful from around the world.
Their presence underscored Spain's deep ties to the Vatican and the global Catholic community. King Felipe and Queen Letizia made their first official overseas visit to Vatican City in June 2014, where they met with His Holiness Pope Francis shortly after Felipe's proclamation.
Following the service, Their Majesties joined the Spanish delegation at the residence of Spain's ambassador to the Holy See in Rome.
Queen Letizia appeared sombre in a black tweed midi dress, a piece she previously wore to the funeral mass of King Felipe’s cousin in April 2024.
Adorning her chest was a combination of the 'joyas de pasar' grey pearl & diamond brooch (shown below on the left) with a dangling teardrop pearl from the heirloom brooch (shown below on the right).
Letizia carried her black Carolina Herrera Victoria Insignia Satchel Bag and on her feet were the Nina Ricci Low Heel Pumps in Black Suede.
During the outdoor service in St. Peter’s Square, the Spanish queen was spotted wearing her Hugo Boss Cat-Eye Sunglasses.
Queen Letizia completed the ensemble with her Ansorena Bezel-Set Diamond and Pearl Earrings—a meaningful choice, as she also wore them during her first meeting with the Pope following her ascension to Queen Consort.

A very respectful ensemble, elevated by the personal touch of wearing the same pearl earrings she chose for her first official visit to the Pope as Queen Consort.

Buenas tardes. El broche que llevo Letizia no es ese broche completo, solo es la parte colgante de dicho broche. La parte de arriba es del otro broche con la perla gris que estreno en la pascua Militar en 2019.

You are right! Queen Letizia has interchanged the two brooches. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I will update the blog post.

This is the perfect, reverent ensemble. She looks elegant. This brooch is really beautiful, subtle choice, perfect. Love her choice of earrings.

It's typical of Letizia to slip in a quiet nod to fashion in her sombre outfit by wearing a dress with some frayed edge detailing. The midi length seems heavy on her but the occasion more than justifies that.
