The King and Queen of Spain attended the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in London on Monday to bid farewell to the monarch they affectionately called 'Aunt Lilibet'.
They gathered with 2000 mourners, including other monarchs and heads of state.
Inside the Abbey, Their Majesties sat alongside Felipe's parents, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, and were surrounded by other royals from around the world. Thanks to family ties that date back generations, many European royals have a close relationship to the British royal family.
Queen Letizia looked sombre in all black, while King Felipe VI wore his military uniform.
The dress is by Carolina Herrera and the design was part of the Pre-Fall 2018 collection. The long-sleeved frock features a round neckline and decorative buttons at the shoulders. The A-line skirt is accented with side pleats and hits at the knee. Queen Letizia had it extended to a midi length.
The Spanish queen wore a black veiled headpiece, handmade by Cherubina's in-house milliner.
It is the aptly named 'Elisabeth' halo (€250), made from bouclé and finished with a bow at the back and net veil.
Letizia carried her Giorgio Armani La Charniere Doree Top Handle Bag, and on her feet were her black Manolo Blahnik BB snakeskin-embossed pumps.
