On Wednesday, King Felipe and Queen Letizia continued their State Visit to China. They were officially welcomed by President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan at the Great Hall of the People.
After the delegations exchanged greetings, the national anthems of both countries were played, and King Felipe and President Xi Jinping reviewed the troops rendering honours.
An official photograph followed, after which the King and the President held a bilateral meeting during which nine agreements between the two countries were signed.

Meanwhile, Queen Letizia and the First Lady visited the Demonstration Center for Services for People with Disabilities, China’s most specialized and comprehensive provincial-level center for people with special needs. They toured the facility and met with staff and patients.
Following this, King Felipe and Queen Letizia went to Tiananmen Square, where they laid a wreath at the Monument to the People's Heroes.

For her full day of engagements in Beijing, Queen Letizia chose a timeless ensemble in shades of grey and pink.
She debuted a grey Carolina Herrera wool-cashmere coat adorned with large embroidered peonies, a flower highly symbolic in Chinese culture and often called “the king of flowers.” First seen on the Carolina Herrera Fall ’24 runway, this collarless midi coat features an A-line silhouette, a concealed placket, and is crafted in the USA.
Below is a closer look at the embroidered detail.
Beneath the coat, Queen Letizia wore a powder-pink wool crepe midi dress by The 2nd Skin Co.
Complementing the dress, she accessorized with custom pink Magrit pieces—the ‘Carlota’ slingback leather pumps and a top-handle structured flap bag—both previously worn together during last year’s State Visit to Italy.
Completing the look were her Gold & Roses 'Shewel' Triple Hoops.
