On April 22, 2025, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain, along with former Queen Sofía, visited the Apostolic Nunciature in Madrid to express their condolences following the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. Upon arrival, they were received by the Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy See in Spain, Bernardito Auza.
Subsequently, the King and Queen, along with Queen Sofía, signed the book of condolences opened in memory of the Pontiff, expressing their deep sorrow and recognition of his spiritual legacy. Pope Francis's last public appearance was at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, where he gave his final Easter address. He passed away on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88.
Both ladies look great here. I would have liked a brooch on Q. Leti’s dress but we know she leans toward a more minimal style. It’s good to see a tailored pantsuit on Q. Sofia. It suits her very well and it’s an excellent change from some of the long tunic/wide trouser outfits we often see her in. It’s hard to tell but I think she has on her usual jumble of jewelry. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI really like Letizia's hair on this occasion. It's quite long but I think it suits her and I like the few waves in the front. The shine and gloss are very healthy looking.
ReplyDeleteIt’s quite long AND it suits her. No buts about it. Long hair really can be so lovely!
DeleteToutes les deux sont vêtues avec sobriété !
ReplyDeleteLa reine Letizia a une magnifique chevelure !

This ensemble was a thoughtful and respectful choice, aligning with the solemn nature of the visit and honoring the memory of Pope Francis. The structured design of the dress was borh flattering and dignified, suitable for the formal setting of the Apostolic Nunciature.
ReplyDeleteQueen Letizia looks lovely, well groomed, beautiful, simple and subtle black dress, love the addition of the belt. Her hair looks great. Queen Sofia looks equally lovely, her outfit fits well and looks elegant. King Felipe looks well groomed and attired, very respectful.
