Queen Letizia of Spain showcased her trendsetting sense of style as she attended a meeting in Madrid today.

The mother-of-two, 49, chaired a meeting with the Governing Council of the Army Orphans Board, a private charity association which offers protection and support to the orphans of Army soldiers and the Common Defense Corps attached to it. 

She cut a stylish figure in a recycled collarless coat from Carolina Herrera’s A/W15 collection and straight-cut navy leather trousers, as the organisation marks their 150th anniversary.

Letizia practiced covid safety protocols with a face mask, while also accessorizing with an envelope clutch bag coordinated with her court heels.

The elegant royal opted for subtle make-up and styled her glossy brunette hair with loose-waves for a relaxed look.

She appeared in good spirits as she was greeted by Spanish Defense Minsiter Margarita Robles at the meeting in Madrid.

Letizia also spoke with Army Chief of Staff General Amador Fernando Enseñat y Berea, the head of the Army Personnel Command Lieutenant General Guillermo Fernández Sáez and the director of the Army Orphans Board Brigadier General Jesús Llorente Vicente among other authorities. 

She was given an opportunity to visit the Historical Room, where she was given a historical overview of the organisation and a forecast for the future in addition to learning about the activities that were carried out in 2021.
