Queen Letizia of Spain looked stylish in an eye-catching scarlet suit as she attended an event to commemorate the Spanish Olympians from the 1992 Games held in Barcelona.

The royal, 51, was joined at the Madrid event by her husband, King Felipe, who himself competed in the 1992 Games as a member of the Spanish Olympic sailing team.

Queen Letizia recycled a striking red trouser suit from March 2023 for the occasion.

The outfit combined a single-breasted blazer with a gold button and matching slim-leg trousers, which Letizia paired with patent nude, black-heeled shoes.

The mother-of-two sported a simple silk top in cream underneath her jacket.

Typically fresh-faced, Letizia kept her make-up minimal and wore her dark hair loose.

Meanwhile, King Felipe, 56, looked dapper in a pinstriped suit with a pale shirt and patterned tie.

During the 1992 Summer Olympics, in which the Spanish sailing team finished sixth, King Felipe served as the Spanish team’s flag bearer.

This morning’s event comes at the end of a busy week for the Spanish royals.

Queen Letizia of Spain looked stunning in a smart tweed dress on Tuesday morning as she joined her husband King Felipe at a literary prizegiving ceremony in Madrid.

Letizia sported a blue and white tweed midi dress with three quarter length sleeves for the occasion.

The fringing at the waist and around the cuffs gave the royal’s formal dress a modern twist while her pearl earrings added a touch of glamour.

Letizia looked typically demure in black kitten heels with a petite black leather handbag.

The former journalist wore her shoulder-length hair loose and kept her make-up natural.

King Felipe was also dressed formally, having chosen a morning suit for the ceremony.

He added some colour to the ensemble with a pale blue waistcoat beneath his jacket along with a navy tie.

King Felipe was carrying a ceremonial cane, as is tradition with the annual prize-giving.

The Spanish royals were in Madrid to present the Miguel de Cervantes prize – Spain’s most prestigious literary prize – to 81-year-old writer Luis Mateo Díez at the University of Alcalá.
