It might be hard to associate Spanish tourist honey-pot Benidorm with high style but Queen Letizia certainly married the two together today.
Arriving on the Costa Blanca to highlight International Deaf and Blind Day, the 45-year-old opted for a favourite outfit as she arrived in the town famously popular with British tourists.
After meeting the Trumps in Washington last week, it was back to work for Letizia as she arrived in the coastal town for the charity meeting.
Striding out: The Spanish Queen, 45, cut a stylish figure as she landed in Benidorm, with Spanish Health Minister Carmen Montón, left, to help mark International Deaf and Blind Day earlier today
The royal wore one of her favourite outfits, a fit and flare black skirt with a blush pink sleeveless blouse, with black stripe detail on the collared front
Her striking outfit, a fit and flare black pleated skirt gave way to a blush pink collared sleeveless blouse with two sheer black ruffles running down the front.
The Queen finished the look with a slick of dark pink lipstick and a unique pair of copper leaf earrings with sizeable black gem studs
By the Queen’s side wasn’t King Felipe, but the Minister of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, Carmen Montón who accompanied the royal as she met with the president of the World Federation of the Deafblind, Geir Jensen and the president of the Federation of Deafblind Associations of Spain (Fasocide), Francisco J. Trigueros.
The conference, organised by the World Federation of the Deafblind (WFDB) will see more than 200 deafblind people from more than 30 countries gather to address the global approach to their disability.
The Queen, who wore her lustrous brunette locks loose, also wore on-trend black stilettos with a transparent strap

Back on home turf, Letizia travelled without King Felipe VI today, following the couple’s return from a visit to the US to meet Donald and Melania Trump last week

The Spanish tourist spot is a far cry from the US political hotseat, which is where the royals found themselves last week while on an official visit to meet Donald and Melania Trump at the White House.
While the king and the president had a 30 minute bilateral meeting, the first lady hosted Queen Letizia for tea in the red room.
This is King Felipe VI’s first meeting with President Trump, but it’s his sixth visit to the White House.
It’s his second visit since he became King in 2014. The first was in September 2015.
