The new Hospital will be a centre in which new technologies and new medical specialities will be integrated to adapt to the continuous and innovative changes that occur in clinical practice. The construction of the University Hospital of Toledo will have seven buildings which will connect all hospital services. The Hospital will respond to the needs of patients in the Toledo area and a healthcare reference in Castilla-La Mancha.

After the initial greetings, Their Majesties saw an institutional video and unveiled the  commemorative plaque, followed by a tour of the hospital facilities. The event concluded with King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia holding a meeting with a representation of officials of the Public Service of Castilla-La Mancha and health personnel.

I've never liked this suit. It is heavy, severe and tweedy looking, that seems at odds with the embroidered flowers on the skirt. I always think embroidery looks best on lighter fabrics...a cotton, silk, chiffon, or something gauzy. The box pleats, wide belt and large patch pockets just add to the heaviness.

This is probably the best suit QueenL owns, so I'm happy to see it repeated once again yet. It's classically elegant and chic while sober enough to fit the current circumstances (the inauguration of an hospital is nowadays not a fesrive event anymore).

The best outing of this suit is however still the first one on 2017 National Day. The pearl earrings and brooch (!) and the super classic updo elevated it several notches, so so pretty.

I initially thought this suit was too heavy-looking as well. However, over time, I have come to appreciate it. Because of the sharp tailoring, the included belt, the embroidery and the blue stitching, this is an outfit that you can just throw on, especially if the weather is cool, and it needs no accessories- simple, easy, comfortable. Everyone needs such an outfit.

This is a very traditional/ conservative outfit, its superbly crafted. The Queen looks both regal and elegant. The embroidery and intricate piping lift this outfit and give it a lavish look. The pleating of the skirt on movement is perfect, showing off the fabulous tailoring. I love her choice of shoes and clutch. Looking back, 2017 would be my favourite outing of this suit, the pearl accessories and up style really polished this outfit off beautifully. Regardless she looks stunning here.

I mentioned the last time the Queen wore this ensemble, how much I adored it. I agree with Ana S and Ava that 2017's National Day Ceremony was the suit’s most successful wearing. The stunning jewels and pretty updo made for a perfect look. A few weeks ago, I browsed the Felipe Varela website. There is a peach jacket with rose beadwork, it is very mother of the bride. Although completely different to this suit, it reminded me of the craftsmanship. I couldn't help think how beautiful the peach jacket could be made in thick navy wool with tonal glass beading, accompanied by a pencil or A-line skirt, reminiscent of a 1940/50's Dior Bar suit. In the future, I hope Varela makes Letizia another skirt suit infused with romance and drama.

I've never really been a fan of this Varela suit though it works well enough for royal engagements. The tailoring is masterful, but I find the detailing cluttered on the safari style jacket where the pocket flaps crowd up against the belt. I've always struggled with the embroidery, it might have been fashionable at the time but is beginning to look dated and out of place on such a workmanlike outfit.In that respect I find the sweetheart shaping on the shoe front a detail too far, though I like having matching plain blue accessories against the textured fabric.
