Queen Letizia in 2014: an iconic look with a hidden message
Ten years ago, the Asturian woman trusted her main couturier, Felipe Varela, for the dress she wore at the ceremony.
Proclamation of Philip VI. It was a set of dress and coat, straight cut, summer crepe, off-white, knee-length, and with multicolored rhinestone embroidery on the round neck. She also wore the ribbon of the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III and some earrings with great sentimental value, which the Chanel brand gave her on the occasion of the birth of Princess Leonor in 2005.
Her stylistic commitment for this important occasion was highly praised at the time, but behind the white color of her look a hidden message was hidden. Fundamental in the most symbolic acts of the Royal Family in recent years, that was the tone that she also chose in her first appearance before the media, after announcing her
engagement with Don Felipe. We saw it again in the Armani jacket suit that she opted for when she proposed for her hand in 2003 and also in white she was the heir to the throne on the day she was sworn in to the Constitution.

queen consort of Spain. She arrived at that exclusive position after almost exactly ten years as Princess of Asturias. A decade in which she had to face all kinds of criticism and constant scrutiny before Don Juan Carlos’s abdication took place.
By then I had already
married for ten years. That day in May was a day of intense rain and the royal procession crossed a Madrid armored by strong security measures, after the terrible attacks of 11M. Theirs was the first royal marriage to be celebrated in our country since 1901. Much more has happened since then and in the meantime, Queen Letizia has managed to win the affection of the citizens for her professionalism and her closeness.
