King Felipe will spend three days in Canada, from May 19 to 21, with a packed agenda combining diplomacy, economics, and culture. The father of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia arrived in Ottawa accompanied by a Spanish business delegation. His first stop was Rideau Hall, the official residence, where he met with Governor General Mary Simon and Prime Minister Mark Carney. The day concluded with a dinner in his honor hosted by the Governor General herself. The bulk of the economic discussions took place in Toronto at the MaRS Centre, where the Spain-Canada Business Summit was held. There, Cuerpo and…

While King Felipe is on an official trip to Canada, Queen Letizia remained in charge of the agenda. This Wednesday, she was at the Senate to present the 15th edition of the Luis Carandell Awards for Parliamentary Journalism, an event that suits her particularly well given her background as a journalist. For the occasion, she brought back a red dress by Adolfo Domínguez that she had already worn in 2023 for Mental Health Day, and which, three years later, still works just as well. The dress features a midi cut, a closed neckline, and cape sleeves, with a fitted bodice…

For the second day of her successful trip to Reggio Emilia, Italy, Princess Kate chose a look that effortlessly combined comfort and style. The foundation was a blazer from Blazé Milano, the same Italian brand she had worn the day before as a nod to her hosts. This time, it was paired with an ivory pleated skirt by Jenni Kayne and a white top. She cinched the outfit with a belt, also from Blazé Milano, and chose Alicia flats by Camilla Elphick in taupe and black for footwear—a perfect choice for a day that included visiting a nursery and moving…

Prince Harry has a new project with Netflix, and this time it’s not about his personal life or the royal family. He and Meghan will produce a film adaptation of No Way Out, the memoirs of British Army Major Adam Jowett about a small group of soldiers besieged in Helmand Province in 2006. The script is penned by Matt Charman, who was nominated for an Oscar for Bridge of Spies. That alone says a lot about the tone they’re aiming for: a solid, character-driven story. The story that will be brought to the screen unfolded in Musa Qala, a town…

Princess Leonor will wrap up her military service and embark on a completely new chapter in September, when she begins her first year of Political Science at the Getafe campus of the Carlos III University of Madrid. Eleven courses spread across two semesters, covering core education, institutional thought, and international analysis. For someone who comes from military academies, where everything revolves around discipline and hierarchy, the transition to a public university campus with this kind of curriculum is quite a significant shift. The first semester starts with the basics: Fundamentals of Political Science, Theory of Law, Introduction to Sociology, and…

This week, the Royal Household shared images of Princess Leonor flying a Pilatus PC-21 solo at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier. This is the second time we have seen her do so, and the photos were released on the same day it was confirmed that, after completing her military service, she will study Political Science at Carlos III University of Madrid. The Zarzuela Palace released both pieces of news at almost the same time, which does not seem coincidental. The photos were made possible by a second aircraft flying alongside the Princess’s plane, which served as…

This Thursday, Queen Letizia had an event in Madrid at the headquarters of the Fundación Secretariado Gitano, where she met with a representative group of Roma women to highlight their progress in terms of equality, inclusion, and social cohesion. It was a low-profile event in media terms, but it carried real weight, because Queen Letizia went to listen and to highlight education and gender equality within a group that continues to face discrimination. The context is also important for understanding the choice of outfit. Queen Letizia’s white Mango outfit Pantone named white—specifically, Cloud Dancer—its Color of the Year for 2026.…

Queen Letizia was in Granada this week as part of the Tour del Talento to preside over the announcement of the 2026 Princesa de Girona Arte Prize, and she did so in an outfit that certainly did not go unnoticed. The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía went all-in on deep fuchsia, from her jacket to her pants to her undershirt—exactly the kind of style choice that either works or doesn’t work. In this case, it worked, and it worked quite well. Queen Letizia’s fuchsia suit sets a trend in Granada The day’s new look was a fuchsia suit,…

The gala dinner for King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden’s 80th birthday brought together European royalty with all the pageantry that such occasions demand, tiaras included. King Felipe and Queen Letizia were unable to attend, so Queen Sofía, the Queen Emerita, represented the Spanish Royal Family. And she did so wearing a piece that many had not seen on her head for years: the Mellerio tiara, one of the most historic jewels in the Bourbon collection. Queen Sofía wears the Mellerio tiara The Mellerio tiara, also known as “La Chata’s” tiara, was created in 1867 by the French house Mellerio…

The Spanish Royal Household has confirmed in an official statement that Princess Leonor will study for a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science at the Carlos III University of Madrid, on the Getafe campus. The announcement came after months of speculation and confirms that Princess Leonor passed the selection process for students who completed their high school education abroad, receiving a favorable decision from the Evaluation Committee. UC3M is one of Spain’s most prestigious public universities in the fields of law and international studies, with high admission grade requirements and a strong focus on global perspectives. The degree program that Princess…

On April 25, London came to a standstill to commemorate Anzac Day, one of the most significant dates on the Commonwealth calendar. This year, the day began at dawn at Hyde Park Corner with a ceremony led by Princess Anne, who laid a wreath of red poppies on behalf of the royal family. Hours later, Kate Middleton joined the events, participating in the floral offering at the Whitehall Cenotaph on behalf of King Charles III, followed by a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey. For an event like this, the dress code doesn’t leave much room for flexibility, and Kate…

Just a few weeks before completing her training at the San Javier General Air Academy, Princess Leonor appeared this weekend at Barnuevo Beach in Santiago de la Ribera to participate, as an ensign, in the 25th edition of the inter-university canoeing regatta. Each year, the event brings together students from various universities, as well as students from the academy itself, and Leonor was paddling a canoe in the mixed category with her team. The finals kicked off with teams from the University of Murcia, the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, UCAM, and Rey Juan Carlos University also competing. Princess Leonor competed…
