She sported a glamourous eye-makeup, with a smoky eye, a brown eye-shadow and a sculpted brow that added a sophisticated air to the everyday look.

Letizia is well-known for her love of minimalist jewellery and sported a discreet pair of gold hoop earrings.

The royal, who attended the event without her husband King Felipe VI, looked relaxed as she arrived in Valladolid today. 

The Princess of Girona Foundation is promoted by patron His Majesty the King, Felipe VI, who is the honorary president representing his daughter Princess Leonor. 

The Foundation’s main objective is to work for young people in all areas that are critical for their future.

It is a private foundation set up in 2009 and backed by 88 trustees, with the honorary chairman being King Felipe VI, on behalf of his daughter Princess Leonor.

It seeks to become a benchmark at national level in supporting young people in their professional and personal development.

It also hopes to identify young people with talent who can act as role models for other young people and launching programmes to improve employability.

Today’s appearance comes after Letizia looked elegant as she stepped out in a respectful, modest black dress alongside her husband King Felipe earlier this month as they attended a memorial concert.

She showed off her enviable silhouette in a long-sleeved black dress with a metallic look, which was clinched at the waist with tie detail.

Last month, it was announced Letizia’s daughter Infanta Sofía of Spain will attend United World College of the Atlantic in Wales on a two-year, £68,000 course.

The 15-year-old will follow in the footsteps of her sister Princess Leonor, 17, heir to the Spanish throne, who is in her last year at the specialist education college in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Sofía will become the latest in a long list of royal alumni at the college, including Princess Elisabeth, heir to the throne of Belgium, who graduated in 2020, and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.

Situated at the 12th century St Donat’s Castle on the country’s south coast, the college, dubbed the ‘Hippie Hogwarts’, was founded by German educationalist Kurt Hahn.

School fees for the two-year course cost a whopping £68,000 and include Tai Chi, the theory of knowledge and Tibetan literature.
