REE is a partly state-owned and public limited Spanish corporation which operates the national electricity grid in Spain. During the COVID-19 pandemic, REE has maintained a constant supply of energy to homes, hospitals, and all centers in the front line. Their Majesties highlighted the company's exemplary performance.

In the Emergency Room, they were informed of the evolution of electricity demand during the crisis, which has seen a global decrease.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia later toured the Electrical System Control Centre where they greeted technicians who guarantee the quality and safety of the electricity supply, dealing with variations in demand while minimizing the cost of energy involved.

Queen Letizia stepped out in a new jacket by Hugo Boss. It is the BOSS 'Karonita' Bouclé Blazer (£270) in a stretchy viscose blend with a refined bouclé appearance. It has a double zip front and collarless neckline. Precise darts accentuate the narrow fit, and the waistline is further emphasised by the colour-coordinating piping. This is another piece I believe has been sitting in Letizia's closet for some time because the style has been discontinued.

The pants appear to be her dark blue Hugo Boss 'Safashy1' relaxed-fit paper-bag trousers which she debuted last September for a visit to Gran Canaria.

Letizia wore her navy Magrit pumps and finished the look with her bezel set diamond stud earrings which have become her favourite during the lock-down.

While one zip-front textured jacket was fresh and engaging, perhaps two feels like someone found a stash at the back of the closet. No matter, this Hugo Boss is every bit as beautiful as the last. I wonder if the loosening up into the textured patterns is Letizia's way of keeping in step with Spain's cautious emergence from lockdown.

It's a welcome relief to see their majesties back on their feet to review the national electricity supply. However, if I had a problem with this jacket it would be that it doesn't seem to sit happily over the pants when Letizia is standing, showing some tightness around the bust, as if she might be wearing extra layers underneath.

The trousers also seem an odd length, a little short over the courts. And perhaps this is lockdown photography again, which is not geared up to showing the smooth line of a good fit. Letizia looks only a fraction less polished than usual as a result. Many thanks for putting me out of my misery re her preferred stud earrings for these business-heavy appearances.

Again, it is good to see the King and Queen at an in person engagement. I love the blazer. It is so nicely fitted and I love the piping for the waist which is feminine and slimming. I would have preferred trousers with a flat front in keeping with the slim silhouette of the blazer.
