The King and Queen of Spain, accompanied by their daughters, Leonor, Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofía presided over the launching ceremony of the Submarine S-81 'Isaac Peral', at the Navantia shipyard in Cartagena, Murcia.

The Submarine S-81 'Isaac Peral', is the first of four submarines of the S-80 series destined for the Spanish Navy, placing Spain in a relevant role within the countries capable of building and designing submarines. The ship resulting from this project is considered one of the most advanced conventional submarines (non-nuclear) in the world. It is, therefore, a clear commitment to national technological development, which will enhance the strategic independence of the country's defence and the international projection of the Spanish industrial fabric.

After the initial greetings, the Spanish Royal Family saw a plaque commemorating their visit, spoke with workers who participated in the construction of Submarine S-81 'Isaac Peral' and toured the shipyard's engineering plant and the Virtual Design Centre (CDV). 
At the launching ceremony of the Submarine S-81 'Isaac Peral' King Felipe VI and Leonor, Princess of Asturias, cut the ribbon which released a sacrificial bottle, as established by maritime tradition. After the National Anthem, the family were photographed with the crew of the submarine.

The Queen looks lovely, as always. Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía were the focus of this event and I commend Letizia's decision to wear a quality repeat.

 At her daughter's debut at the Princess of Asturias Awards on 17/10/19, this dress was worn with the clear intention of allowing the girls to shine. It was wise to wear a classical repeat that had never been seen publicly with them before. However, on the 22nd I found the dress rather stale, a repeat that isn't worn as regularly would have made a refreshing change, rather than the same uniform dress being worn in historical photographs of the family. 

In regard to the white Adolfo Domínguez coat worn by Leonor, I had always hoped that Letizia would re-wear it (it was worn on 18/05/18). The soft cocoon silhouette in brilliant white is beautiful in its simplicity. I would have loved to have seen it fastened, with a skinny white belt placed over the top to define the waist, along with her pale grey slim-fit Hugo Boss trousers and matching Magrit suede pumps for an early spring outfit.

I continue to love this UFO shawl collar dress, the styling is elegant and fresh, the fit immaculate. I continue to admire that neatly set waistband and how the skirt has a flat front while keeping soft pleats to either side to make a full A-line. It deserves many re-wears.

The soft weave of the fabric adds a subtle note of texture to the monochrome which is neatly enhanced by Marit snakeskin repeat clutch and pumps. It was a nice formal touch for Letizia to have her hair up for the launch ceremony and her UFO drop circle earrings are spot on.

I like the style of this dress and it fits the Queen very well. However, I find it to be very drab looking. A brighter coloured shoe, or a brooch on the lapel would have made this outfit a bit more lively. The young princesses always look great!

This is a favourite dress of mine to admire! I love this soft shawl collar dress. Its wonderous wear for me was in October 2019 with the red hot, crocodile shoes, the soft up do and earrings. The finished product looked outstanding. Regardless the Queen looks fabulous.
Can I make note of the King, he looked superb.

How can such a fabulous dress remain unidentified? I think it's one of Letizia's best looks, especially with her hair confined in a chic updo. It exemplifies the kind of business attire she is partial to—chic but seriously business-like. It probably derives from her former life as a working woman in a competitive business environment. The snakeskin accessories are a just right touch. It may also be that she has deliberately downplayed her look to let her daughters shine, something we may often see as they get older. In any case, the simplicity and elegance of this dress—and the total look— makes it one of my favorites.
