Queen Letizia kicked off her first day of the Spanish Cooperation trip to Mozambique with a visit to the Manhiça Health Research Center (CISM).

CISM is a Mozambican non-profit organisation that carries out biomedical research in priority areas aimed at improving the health of the most vulnerable populations. The centre was founded in 1996 with the support of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and in 2008 received the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation.

Her Majesty repeated a look she first wore during last year's Spanish Cooperation trip to Haiti.

The relaxed lounge suit is by Spanish high-street brand Intropia which features an embossed blazer with belted waist and matching trousers.

Under the jacket, Letizia again wore the nude pink Zara embroidered camisole top.

A pair of pink Uterque leather loafers rounded off the cool and casual ensemble.

In the afternoon, Queen Letizia was the guest of honour at a luncheon hosted by President Filipe Jacinto Nyussi and the First Lady of Mozambique, Isaura Nyussi at the Palácio da Ponta Vermelha.

Her Majesty wore a beautiful soft blue piece by Pedro del Hierro from the designer's Spring/Summer '19 collection. I am not certain if it is a dress or separates. I am waiting to hear back from the brand for clarification.

Letizia first wore the eponymous label at a Famelab event last May. She then wowed in a Pedro del Hierro jumpsuit at the opening season at the Teatro Real in October. A month later she debuted a checked dress, and earlier this year she premiered an ivory sleeveless crepe dress by the Spanish designer during the State Visit to Argentina.

Queen Letizia highlighted the soft blue hue with navy accessories. She carried her custom Magrit 'Hawa' clutch, and on her feet were the Carolina Herrera suede sling back pumps.

Great to see a repeat on this trip. This outfit looks comfortable and approachable, the pretty little details on the camisole and the texture of the suit all add subtle interest. These pieces also act as a blank canvas for the Spanish Cooperation red waistcoat she sported. The Queen looked very involved in all of the days important engagements.

This outfit is serene, the Queen looks wonderful. This ensemble will most likely be in my top 10 looks of 2019, along with the glorious cream dress worn in Argentina, also by Pedro Del Hierro. The colour and drape of the dress are sublime, I can imagine that it was graceful in motion and felt lovely to wear. It's been perfectly accessorised with navy shoes/clutch and the flawless Bvlgari hoops. There is no drama to this outfit, it's just clean, airy, and utterly elegant.

Thanks for the reminder Leila! That one completely escaped my mind! I have now updated the blog post.

The pale blue outfit is understated but beautiful. The fabric is light and allows the skirt to flow freely. I like the shorter length rather than the one on the model which would have dwarfed Letizia. I'm not sure but the hemline seems to be asymmetrical as the sides appear longer than the front/back. This gives the dress some originality and interest.

It seems the official language of Mozambique is Portuguese ( I thought it was French). I wonder if the Queen speaks Portuguese? I assume it is similar to Spanish?

Yes Sandy!! Portuguese is similar to Castilian and very similar to Galego ( the language spoken in the Northwest of Spain).
Anyways the King Felipe is fluent in Portuguese, I bet Letizia can speak it, I have heard her reading it in Lisboa. Lisbon in English??

Wendy, I believe Spain and Portugal used to be united as one country a long time ago. That could be why there are similarities in the two languages. I am impressed with Felipe speaking Spanish, English & Portuguese.

In fact it always was the Iberian Peninsula. Spain only exist since the discovery of America and there were kingdoms. The Kingdom if Castilla, the Kingdom of Aragon, The kingdom of Navarre and the Kingdom of Portugal. Spain is a political unity, a very descentralizated country , every Autonomous Comnunity has its goverment and different languages. We have Euskera-Basque (spoken in the North)and Catalá (spoken in the East) also. So the Portuguese only is similar to Galego and Castilian, but not the rest. Castilian is not spoken in all Spain. It is a very complicated country.

Felipe speaks, English, French, Catalá, Galego, Castilian, Portuguese and German. He can read Basque and .He owns a degree in law and a Master in foreign sciencies in Georgetown, the goverment chose his education.

I'm afraid I'm unable to get on board with either of these outfits as they both seem a bit shapeless and washed out. No doubt they're more suitable for a hot climate. The Intropia suit is nice enough but not with both ties left dangling loose and the del Hierro is the least interesting of the styles Letizia has showcased from that label where others like the jumpsuit and the asymmetric top and pants were winners.

The pale blue dress is very elegant and graceful. The colour is beautiful and suits her so well. I love the navy accessories. The hooped earrings are gorgeous. The Queen is always so well groomed.

Uh, I hate beeing critical about queen Letizia but I have to say...I just hate each and every flat shoes she has (except sneakers). They are so masculine and ugly.
I am also not impressed with Pedro Del Hierro designs, does everything needs to be totally asimetrical?

I love all these outfits by Pedro del Hierro. My brain hadn't registered the brand before but since the recent outfits were all posted together I realise how much I like them.

Funny story: I went to the Pedro del Hierro website. Before I found the option to choose your country my browser asked if I wanted the page translated. I said yes. It translated "jumpsuits" into "monkeys"! Too cute! Of course, when I found the option to choose your country I chose UK (I'm in Canada but there was nothing for N. America) and the English site has "jumpsuit".

My critical comment would be about the camisole worn with the Intropia suit. I was going to make the same comment a few days ago concerning the camisole worn at the literary awards. While I loved that white tuxedo jacket and the slim black pants I think camisoles, worn untucked as shirts, make the ensemble look less polished and less stylish. I used to wear them when I was young and couldn't find anything else to go under a jacket. To me, they're passable if you have nothing else but best kept as undergarments.

I encounter the same translation when on Spanish websites LOL

Wendy

In Castilian (Spanish) they are called "monos" but it is not a monkey...it is the same word that has different meanings...

Simone

"Mono" means "cute" also, "jumpsuit", and another 23 meanings depending the Latinamerican country...

Hi Geneviève, I hope other translations were as charming. I have similar thoughts on camisoles, I think they are best tucked in. If the blazer has satin lapels like the Hugo Boss one did at the Literary Awards I think the fabric of camisole should be matched to that. If the blazer is completely matt, most camisoles will work underneath (although I think the less fussy they are the better). I think Crown Princess Mary succeeded here as the fabric of what I suspect is a camisole matches the lapels. The Duchess of Sussex's look was also successful where the blazer is matt and the silky camisole is tucked in. I appreciate both looks are very different from Queen Letizia's, the solid black may have made styling easier too.
