The Queen of Spain held a video conference from her office at the Palace of Zarzuela.

Queen Letizia holds video conference with State Network of Women's Mental Health

Queen Letizia spoke to members of the State Network of Women's Mental Health who informed Her Majesty of the effects the pandemic is having on women with mental health problems.

Isolation and confinement can affect everyone's mental health but for those who have pre-existing problems, it can be exacerbated further. Women with mental health problems are more vulnerable if they suffer from domestic violence which is aggravated by confinement. A Network has been organised to promote self-care and mutual aid, the Network communicates via WhatsApp, it is a space of support and respect where women can express fears and find hope. They have also produced two guides; recommendations for people with mental health problems during quarantine and guidelines for security forces and bodies to avoid situations of discrimination and violation of rights.

On a light-hearted note; today marked the 80th birthday of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. European Royal Houses congratulated Queen Margrethe on her milestone birthday. The video shows greetings from Spain, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxemburg. Queen Margrethe's 80th birthday celebrations were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lovely navy & creme striped sweater I think is by Hugo Boss because of the neck line that I have seen on their fashion page and the fashion house makes a lot of stripe sweaters. You can see Queen Letizia really likes this sweater she worn it twice. I have notice outfits and items she really likes or a very comfortable she will wear them many times, my observations. 💙

Letizia is already maintaining her sober business attire with repeats, and it's nice to see the relatively cheery Breton stripes return, it looks a very comfy top. The pairing with navy is the same as before but the picture is showing a different pair of flats from the HB loafers she was wearing in earlier conferences. This time we have a peek of pearl stud earrings. Sober attire for a sober subject of mental health.

It was also great fun to see the joint royal birthday greeting for Queen Margrethe from different countries, and to hear voices to add to the faces seen on many occasions. It's good to havea a reason to smile amid all the difficulty.
