The new official portraits of King Felipe and Queen Letizia, taken by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, have been released. The photographs were taken in February to mark the King and Queen's 20th wedding anniversary. The Queen wore a gown designed by Spanish fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, which is part of an exclusive archival collection. She also wore Queen Ena's Diamond Riviere necklace and diamond drop earrings.
Photographer Annie Leibovitz, who received the Prince of Asturias Award in 2013, had wanted to photograph them since then. However, it was the Bank of Spain that commissioned the portraits in 2023. After nine months of anticipation, the Bank of Spain unveiled the royal portraits commissioned from the American photographer. They can be viewed until March 29 as part of the exhibition 'The Tyranny of Chronos.'
The portraits are magnificent. I love the outfits, the setting, the background and the furniture. Both the King and Queen look very regal. However, Letizia looks a bit too serious. I would have liked a slight smile to compliment Felipe's.
