King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia visited the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on the occasion of Saint James' Day. Saint James' Day is a public holiday in the autonomous communities of the Basque Country and Galicia. July 25th is also Galicia Day. Last year, the traditional religious ceremony took place at the monastery of San Martiño Pinario due to renovation of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Carolina Herrera Floral Embroidered Organza Dress
They all look just wonderful. Q. Letitia’s dress fits well, and the colours in the soft print flatter her. Q. Letitia has set such a good example for her girls with her emphasis on fit along with her impeccable posture and poise. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteLetizia did a great job with her daughters. They are well mannered and incredibly courteous to people. They have never been caught sticking their tongue out in public even as very very young kids. She educated them properly, and it paid off. Beautiful family. Abby
DeleteAstonishing beautiful dresses of both mother and daughters!
ReplyDeleteLove the subtle way in which the colours of Letizia’s dress are repeated in the dresses of the princesses.
This is style at its very best!
Josh
Agreed! They look lovely. One thing I would personally change is Letizia's hairdo. It looks a bit casual, something a bit more sophisticated would have worked better I think. But nevertheless, they look picture perfect.
DeleteLovely, stylish and elegant dresses in cheerful colors!
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks beautiful ! They are all coordinated and they look wonderful and appropriate.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agreed! Fantastic looks for everyone.

Letizia looks lovely. I like the deep red tones of the flowers scattered on the light background of a lovely summery dress. She and Carolina Herrera are a design match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteBoth the girls look nice too. If I had to choose between the two dresses, it would be the blue one hands down. The pleating detail is feminine and delightful for a young girl, and Sophia wears the dress well..
I hope to visit the Cathedral of St. James within the next couple of years after completing the Camino de Santiago. Several of our friends have done different routes in recent years and made live daily blogs; each journey was a lifetime memorable experience.

I always thought that CH was thought for Queen Letiza. When she started wearing her clothes I went to heaven! It will always be a winning duo.
DeleteGood luck on the Camino de Santiago. You will be welcome

Beautiful dresses for the Queen and her daughters. Very difficult to choose a favourite. I love the bright plain colours of both girls' dresses and the pleating detail on Infanta Sofia's dress possibly just edges it into first place. Crown Princess Leonor's kitten heels are perfect with her dress. The Queen's dress looks much better in her chosen length than the full length version on the model. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the Spanish Royal family honouring their church and regal roles.
ReplyDeleteA credit to them all. Pity Prince Henry and Meghan of didn’t study this example of leadership and honour.
Agree
DeleteSusana
To the Rose. You cannot compare a king and a prince who is 6th or 7th in the line of succession. Besides I don't see the connection with fashion ?
DeleteMarcy
@The Rose, why in the world does H&M fit into this post? We are looking at the king, Queen , two infantas which one of them would be the future queen . I guess some people need to air their grievances and stir the pot whether is germane to the situation or not. Since there hasn’t been any public appearances of the Sussexes you must bring them into conversation to start the hate, my goodness!!
DeleteCherry
And your ‘model of leadership and honour’ includes bullying people? Is it the old Inquisition model? Your way or else?? I actually think they are closer to the fundamental values of Christianity than those who have affairs and abuse their privileged positions. Also, what makes anyone feel quite so righteous? Cause it’s not really what the spirit of Christianity is, if you recall.
DeleteCH
Criticism is not "bullying people," CH. While I agree that there's no reason to bring H&M into this discussion, criticizing them, when they have given the world such a huge amount of behavior and actions to criticize, is not the same thing as "bullying" them.
DeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, everyone looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks wonderful! The infantas are such beautiful girls and I love their dresses. Queen Letizia looks amazing--she is so elegant (and teaching her daughters to be the same). HM is handsome as always. Its probably not planned but I love how one parent and one daughter each are wearing the same colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color coordinated looks. Letizia's styling is perfection. I want her bag. I love Leonor and Sofia's bright, cheerful dresses.
ReplyDeleteE.B.B.
What an awesome family! They are really gorgeous in playful, coordinated dresses. Pure and perfect lines for an official act, and a religious act. Wonderful family
ReplyDeleteSusana
Queen Letizia and her daughters look great, well groomed, good posture and beautiful outfits. The king looks good as usual.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best dresses Leonor and Sofia have worn. I love the bright and eyecathing colors. The styles look very beautiful on them. Both girls looks so beautiful and poised.
ReplyDeleteCarolina Herrera dress looks beautiful but a little too girly for my taste. I prefer the dresses her daughters wore.
Sharon
I fully agree! Well said!
DeleteCC
Elegance, beauty and faith are all present in this beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteMay God continue blessing them always!
The ladies are all gorgeous, the King is handsome! Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteFamilia perfecta, me encanta el vestido de Sofía con esos pliegues .
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose a dress of these three for me I'd choose the one Leonor is wearing, I like that style. But I think the dress that looks better on her is Letizia's, she looks gorgeous with that dress, the bag and the shoes, the hair is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Leonor finally surpassed her mother's height, they look the same height on the photos( even a little more in some of them) but Letizia wears higher heels. Sofía had already surpassed her the last year.
Quelle belle coordination de couleurs dont celles de la Reine en particulier ; très féminin le petit plissé de la robe de Sophia à laquelle une ceinture apporte un petit plus - Le roi est superbe toujours tiré à quatre épingles !
ReplyDeleteLeonor and Sofia look fantastic. Its so refresing that they look more adult but still manage to look girls that they still are (enjoy the childhood while you can!). I love their dresses. Both have their own style that suits them perfectly. The cut, fit, color of their dresses looks fantastic. Thei hair are beautifully styled.
ReplyDeleteQueen Letizia looks also very pretty. Beautiful dress and hairstyle.
Karin
Siempre es un placer ver Felipe y Letizia con sus hijas , se comportan con tanta naturalidad, como niñas que son, forman un bella familia.
ReplyDeleteEl Rey apuesto, elegante, un bel homme!
ils sont beaux certes .... mais quelque chose m'intrigue : pourquoi ne voit-on jamais Sophia à côté de son père, pourquoi ne le voit-on jamais faire un geste ou se pencher vers elle gentiment
ReplyDeleteVous aller me répondre Eleonor est l'héritière et c'est normal, vous aurez raison. Malgré tout je trouve ça triste.
Do you always find something wrong inside the Royals Families' relationships?
DeleteGive it up, please.
P.
Atención, aquí tenemos el nuevo "mantra" patrocinado por la belga Salens y su coro de víboras. El odio a Letizia se ha trasladado a su hija Leonor y hacen pasar a Sofía por una "pobre víctima", a la su padre desprecia, a la que nunca "hace un gesto amable" ni la coloca a su lado.
DeleteHipocresía pura y mala intención, disfrazada de "piedad". El protocolo se respeta en actos oficiales. En su vida privada se colocarán de forma espontánea, como es lógico.
¿Alguien ha visto que la pequeña Sofía sea una niña triste o desubicada? Su madre está siempre pendiente de ella y su hermana la adora, al igual que su padre. Cotillas malintencionadas, ajo y agua.
@ zellie: If you look at the video from 18th June when everyone was at the awards for Cultural Merit, Sofia leaned across her mother to congratulate her father and hold his hand at the end of his speech. As Angie has said, they position themselves according to protocols. If she seems attached to her mother, good for her. All too soon they take wings and fly away.
DeleteWhat is this nonsense of criticizing Letizia 17 years into a marriage? Whether the prince chose well or poorly you were not there first, sit down! Marie
I think I can share a similar conclusion about the bloggers at Noblesse et Royauté; some people are very critical towards the Spanish RF, yes there is there a lack of objectivity from some as mentioned by Angie.
DeleteWhy is Meghan and Harry even mentioned in this thread? They were not and never going to be the future King and Queen of the UK. So why are they being compared to a King and Queen of Spain?
ReplyDeleteLeave Harry and Meghan alone to live their own lives which is working out very successfully for them!
I agreed all you are saying. However, they should not build their success based on bad mouthing Harry's family and lying.
DeleteThen Harry's family should stop lying and smearing them using the British press!
DeleteTell us those lies.
DeleteHarry's family aren't lying or using the British press. They are actually saying very little - which Harry knew damn well would happen. Funny how his narrative has changed - he couldn't praise his father enough in the past.
DeleteWhatever the truth of the matter (and I, personally, don't believe it was told in the infamous interview given how so much has since been disproven, shown to be exaggeration or came across as petty score settling) I think Harry needs to grow up, concentrate on the philanthropy and stop whinging about his life ie. cashing in on being part of a family he no longer feels part of.
Gev
@Whatever! what is indisputable is that things which ended up in the media like 'crygate' and the baby shower for instance were leaked to the press as part of the gaslighting campaign. And the names she was allegedly called by staff.....
DeleteHaving said that, it's rude to introduce a topic of your choosing. End.
Who is @whatever @MarigoldB?
DeleteI never said things were indisputable - I said we hadn't heard the whole truth. Also, the leaks to the press were certainly not benign in nature but yes, I do dispute that there was a "gaslighting campaign".
The baby shower became public from a variety of sources not just from the Palace. BTW the journalist who broke the story about the crying stands by her original story. Another version is both women ended up crying, Kate went round with flowers (as Meghan stated in the interview) and Meghan slammed the door in her face! So, I stand by my opinion that we don't know the whole truth because one side will never be able to give their perspective - and Harry knows that and is taking advantage. I think he now needs to concentrate on what he said they wanted to do and move on, instead of constantly referring back to an institution he felt trapped in.
And if someone mentions something in the comments I shall feel free to answer. Not sure where this new rule of introducing a topic of your choosing is rude came from - I believe it's called a discussion. But if you feel that way joining in the discussion hardly reflects well on you, does it?
Gev
Beautiful outfits all round. Love the colour coordination, as usual done very tastefully and not mini-me style.
ReplyDeleteLeonor is finally catching up with her sister in height, they will both be very tall and elegant girls.
E.d'A.
To Ladarlena . Do you believe everything that has been written or said in the press about that couple ? Don't underestimate the press in the UK.
DeleteMarcy
I don't underestimate the Harry and Meghan pr machine either. I don't need the British press to tell me how to feel when Harry himself announces a book deal - including one for after his "beloved" grandmother dies.
DeleteGev
No matter what Letizia wears she looks like time and effort has gone into it ! She is a woman of class and style ! And her beautiful daughters have inherited that gene !
ReplyDeleteWishing the family happy vacation time ! Best wishes to Lenor when she starts her Education in Aberystwyth! Ana
Everyone looked fantastic. This CH deserved another outing. It can be worn in Spring or Summer and is just the right length. The shoes and handbag are divine. The mini Letizias were wearing silhouettes previously seen on Mom. Sofi's dress is reminiscent of the water green Nina Ricci last seen in Cuba, and Leonor's was the same outline as the Cortana worn in 2016. This was a master class on how to dress teenagers who are still growing. While Leonor needs to practice walking in heels, a pair of low heeled Ferragamos would have done the trick on those cobblestones.
ReplyDeleteJuly
Letizia is always beautifully groomed and Leonor and Sofia look lovely too (they do have great genetics on their side).
ReplyDeletecan we see Laddy Kitty's wedding dresses?
ReplyDeleteLady Kitty although an aristocrat, she is not a Royal, I don’t t think this site can post about all of them. However there are many sites where there are hundreds of pictures.

Anonymous26/7/21 22:51, I am in the US not in the UK, I watched the couples' own words and actions, and used my own judgement to cast my opinion.
ReplyDelete@ladarlena: At the end of day, weighing in on someone else's family problem when you were not there and exonerating one side simply because they are 'pedestal worthy' and (therefore blameless at all times), while disbelieving the other is sycophantic! Not to worry, the Sussexes have been punished and sent to bed without supper or made to walk the plank if you prefer, but...this thread about the SRF. Marie.
