Queen Letizia wore her black Burberry wool coat over a knee-length pencil dress, and rugged up with a scarf.
She carried her Carolina Herrera 'Astrud' clutch bag, and on Letizia's feet were her Manolo Blahnik snakeskin pumps with a custom rubber platform sole.
The Spanish queen finished the look with her white gold bezel set diamonds and Australian pearl drop earrings.

Sorry but their mother was María de las Mercedes de Borbón y Orleans ( Princess of the Two Sicilies) , because of that Juan Carlos de Borbón y Borbón ( his parents had the same surname, they were cousins).

I like this coat- it must be nearly ten years old by now. It shows that classic pieces can last forever with a little care!

Letizia as quietly elegant and respectful as ever. In this context those pearl drop earrings manage to look stunning as well as appropriate.
