On Tuesday, the King and Queen of Spain began a three-day State Visit to China, starting their programme in Chengdu after arriving the previous day. While King Felipe inaugurated the Spain–China Business Forum, Queen Letizia presided over a commemorative event marking the 150th anniversary of the birth of Spanish poet Antonio Machado at the memorial to Chinese poet Xue Tao in Wangjianglou Park.

Queen Letizia’s visit to the park highlighted the rich tradition of the many women who have written poetry throughout China’s history, as well as the challenges they faced within the literary world.
Afterward, King Felipe and Queen Letizia reunited to attend an official lunch hosted by Wang Xiaohui, Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Shi Xiaolin, the Governor of Sichuan Province.

For the engagements in Chengdu, Queen Letizia wore her fuchsia tweed midi dress, first seen at last year’s Princess of Asturias Awards pre-events.
Throughout the day, she also wore her black COS Belted Double-Breasted Wool Long Coat.
Queen Letizia accessorised her look with her black Carolina Herrera Victoria Insignia Satchel Bag and a new pair of custom black leather pumps featuring a leather-covered buckle — a detail reminiscent of the brand’s ‘Carrie’ slingbacks.
We saw the return of the multi-coloured Dime 'Frenchy' Long Earrings.
