On January 31, local time, King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia appeared at the Royal Palace in Madrid to participate in this year's reception of the diplomatic corps and gather with diplomatic envoys from various countries.
It is a routine event for the Spanish royal family and has been held on the last day of January every year since Felipe took the throne in 2014. It is reported that there are 126 embassies and 153 official consulates general in Spain.
The Royal Palace of Madrid is not where Felipe and Letizia live, but rather where they work, and the couple usually live in the Sazuela Palace, located on the outskirts of Madrid. The two daughters don't come home often now, with the eldest daughter Leonor living on campus and the younger daughter Sophie studying abroad in Wales.
Letizia, who attended the reception, chose a dress with a relatively simple style but not too much life, although the style and color scheme made her a little old-fashioned, but after all, it was suitable for the occasion of the day.
In order to match this dark blue dress, Letizia also chose a more complete set of jewelry, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, all of which are quite a few, of course, not very exaggerated.
Perhaps because I hadn't worn it for a long time, the bracelet, which was made up of sapphires and diamonds, inadvertently fell to the ground.
Although a little embarrassed, Letizia, now 51, kept her composure, quickly crouched down with a smile on her face, and picked up her bracelet.
A set of movements was carried out smoothly, which also made many people sigh that Letizia's flexibility is really good.
After Letizia picked up the bracelet, she wanted to put it back on her wrist "on her own", not wanting her husband to help her at all. And Felipe, who had just passed his 56th birthday, had no intention of helping from beginning to end, and even looked away when his wife tried to buckle back the bracelet.
It is reported that this gorgeous bracelet was given to Letizia by the royal family as an engagement gift, and she rarely wore it.
Although Felipe's mental activity is not certain, it is estimated that he may say something like, "I've helped you once." ”
This is also evidenced by the photos, at the beginning of 2022, Letizia and Felipe attended the event together, when the queen also wore this dark blue dress. She didn't wear a diamond bracelet that day, but the brooch she was wearing fell off, and Felipe crouched down in full view to help his wife pick it up.
Two years later, such a scene played out again, only this time Felipe did not show his gentlemanly demeanor, perhaps it fell too quickly, and he did not react yet.
Letizia and Felipe's marriage has always been peaceful, and it has also become a model for royal couples. But late last year, Letizia was claimed by her former brother-in-law, Jaime del Burgo, who had moved to England, that she was still in a "romantic relationship" with her after becoming a member of the royal family, and published a book detailing that time.
The Spanish royal family remained silent about this, and the "evidence" provided by Jaime did not seem to be convincing, so much so that many people suspected that he had made it up.
