This solemn event, coinciding with International Holocaust Remembrance Day, brought together global leaders and European royalty to honor the memory of over one million victims, predominantly Jewish, who perished at Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945.

This visit marked the second time Their Majesties have paid their respects at Auschwitz, following their attendance at the 75th anniversary in 2020.

For today's somber occasion, Queen Letizia opted for a sophisticated black pantsuit, paired with a faux fur scarf, black leather boots, pearl drop earrings, and a thin black headband.

Thank you for the suggestion Loli. The blazer appears to be single-breasted and have flap pockets. It's very difficult to draw any ID conclusions based on the limited photos available.

Thank you for a thoughtful post. I can't imagine going though such a harrowing service in such a location, I doubt I could hold it together. I admire the King and Queen for achieving it with such dignity.

I'm grateful for your low-key IDs, it is still fitting in my view to know what careful choices go into appearing at such a public event. The all-black outfit lightened only by pearl drop earrings seems so appropriate. I was surprised to learn Letizia was in a pantsuit, which was contemporary while still being respectful.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
