During the meeting, Her Majesty was presented with the main consequences in areas such as employment or health, caused by COVID-19 in adolescents and youths. Along with FAD's strategy to contribute to Spain's recovery after the crisis and the possibility of applying for Next Generation EU funds, which has been developed with the support of the Boston Consulting Group.

The FAD was created in 1986, it is a private, non-profit, non-denominational, apolitical institution that aims to prevent drug use and its consequences, promoting preventive education at all levels - school, family and community, finding specific objectives related to drug use, and attending to other psychosocial risk behaviours.
Queen Letizia made a statement in a striking grey pinstriped dress featuring a structured neckline softened by a tie detail at the left shoulder.

The dress is by Spanish fashion designer, Ulises Mérida. It was seen on the runway as part of ​Mérida's A/W 2021-2022 'LIBRE' collection done in partnership with the Association for the Prevention, Reintegration and Care of Prostituted Women (APRAMP).  APRAMP is a Spanish organization created in 1984, dedicated to support the people who suffer sexual exploitation, forced prostitution and trafficking.

At first I was distracted by the tie detail at the neckline, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. It''s a summery dress, but looks professional because of the dark grey and pinstripes and it is not overly fussy which suits Letizia well.

It is a wonderful dress with a wonderful story behind: The dress that Doña Letizia has worn at the FAD ceremony, is a design belonging to the first collection in Spain of clothing made by 12 survivors of the trafficking of women who regain their freedom and his dignity through fashion. Behind her we find the Apramp association, the Association for the Prevention, Reintegration and Care of Prostituted Women

This is a lovely dress with a unique style. I especially like the tie detail and the diagonal pinstripe makes it more interesting. The belt is a smart choice and gives the dress shape.

I love this dress, it's professional yet chic and edgy. The belt was a good ide to give the dress some shape. I'm so delighted Letizia is supporting a designer who uses fashion to promote a worthwhile cause and raise awareness for the amazing work done by APRAMP.

The story behind this dress is incredible. It is great to see the Queen wear it. She looks lovely. I do love the addition of the belt. Its the perfect finishing touch. Great to see the crawler earrings once again.

I adore this dress.  It reminds me of Nina Ricci's elegant nonchalance with its unstructured silhouette. Mérida's straight-cut loosens up traditional tailoring, while the pinstripes rein in the femininity of the asymmetric neckline that sculpts the beautiful line of the shoulders. There is something undeniably alluring about the undone ribbon on the collar bone and flashes of thigh seen through the side split. The addition of the skinny leather belt effortlessly ruches the waist pulling the whole ensemble together.  Black accessories look chic, but part of me wishes the Queen had saved this dress for a future cocktail event where it could be styled with a pair of fabulous pumps, small sparkly earrings and a relaxed French twist. My only quibble is that I wish the dress was lined.

I thought the tie at the neck looked almost as if it was knotted like a man's tie, a further masculine touch along with the pinstripe among more feminine details.

While the design of this dress is unique, I find the material to be very inexpensive looking. It is so limp and a lining would have helped the cause. Also, the whole look is rather drab. Red shoes and purse would have perked things up, although I'm not sure if that would have been appropriate to the event.

Such an inspired piece of styling from Ulises Merida, I think this is a wonderful dress. The use of a diagonal pinstripe is innovative without being showy and I love the idiosyncratic neckline with its peak one side of a bateau shape and the delicious knotted tie on the other. It's refreshing to see a near-knee length skirt on Letizia who can easily be swamped in the midi trend. The skirt slit is subtle and feminine, adding a welcome break in the monochrome.

I'd be interested to see the dress without a belt, though Letizia's slim-line choice looks very well. Black Herrera clutch and Magrit pumps are perfect, and those Gold and Roses crawler earrings really come into their own. An absolute winner.
