Every December, the Royal Family’s Christmas video becomes a small tradition for those of us who closely follow the Bourbons. But this year, something different is in the air. A very special production is being prepared in Zarzuela, featuring never-before-seen photographs and recordings of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía. Yes, completely unpublished material, carefully preserved in the archives of the Royal Household, promises to reveal both their institutional roles and those more spontaneous moments rarely seen by the public. What is known about these unpublished images? For now, the only information that has been released is that the archives contain…

The gala dinner honoring the Sultan of Oman was one of those events where style was the main focus. And yes, there was a lot of anticipation for Queen Letizia’s return to the Royal Palace in a gala version. After more than two years without wearing a long dress, she reappeared with an impeccable look that reminded us why her presence on these stages always sets trends. What did Letizia wear to dinner with the Sultan of Oman? The Queen chose a cobalt blue dress by The 2nd Skin, a silk creation we had already seen during her state visit…

Madrid awoke to a cold morning, but also to royal protocol. Queen Letizia and King Felipe welcomed the Sultan of Oman, Haitham Bin Tarik, in a ceremony of honor at the Royal Palace. It was a solemn event, and as is customary on such occasions, Letizia maintained an impeccable presence. Standing, serene, and barely moving, she accompanied the meeting with a restrained gesture, marking a new stage in diplomatic relations between the two countries. What did Queen Letizia wear to the welcome ceremony? The Queen’s chosen look was an absolute success. She opted for a black, sleek coat with a…

Infanta Sofia once again demonstrated a sense of balance during the recent National Day. Her simple and natural attire confirmed her ability to move effortlessly between protocol and spontaneity. While Princess Leonor captured attention in her official role, Sofia opted for a discreet look, yet one with her signature fresh charm. She didn’t seek to steal the spotlight, but rather to support from her own position, something few young women her age achieve with such ease. Spanish journalist Jesús Reyes, a specialist in fashion and the Royal Household, described her choice as “understated and true to…

If anything has become clear in recent months, it’s that Meghan Markle is charting her own course, and doing so far from Prince Harry’s shadow. Although she still holds the title of duchess, her career is no longer connected to royal duties. Today, her focus is on a different path: business, brand collaborations, and developing her own professional identity. In other words, Meghan is stepping away from her role as the “prince’s wife” to once again take center stage. For years, her story seemed to revolve around Harry. She was the actress who fell in love…

On the final day of her state visit to Latvia, Queen Mary of Denmark once again demonstrated why she is one of Europe’s most stylish royals. Alongside King Frederik, she hosted a reception at the Latvian National Museum of Art, an elegant and symbolically charged setting to conclude her stay in Riga. The evening brought together prominent figures from politics, culture, and defense, including President Edgars Rinkēvičs, to celebrate the increasingly close ties between the two countries. For the occasion, Mary chose an outfit that embodies her personal style: sophisticated, structured, and with a touch of…

Princess Leonor turns 20 on October 31st, and beyond the number, what truly impresses is the weight she carries on her shoulders. For three years, she has combined military discipline, academic training, and an institutional agenda, making her one of Europe’s most active heirs. Her role, however, extends far beyond public appearances or wearing a uniform. As heir to the throne, she is preparing for a position that is not chosen, but assumed. A few days ago, Jaime Alfonsín, who served as the head of the Royal Household for a decade, made it clear: the…

It appears that Prince Andrew’s fate within the British royal family has reached a definitive conclusion. King Charles III’s brother has been officially removed from Royal Lodge, the 30-room mansion in Windsor that had been his home for over two decades. However, in a curious—and quite British—British twist, Andrew will receive compensation that could exceed half a million pounds. The decision is accompanied by a complete restructuring of his public identity. He will no longer be referred to as “His Royal Highness” or “Duke of York,” but simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, a name that ties him…

Every year, following the grand gala of the Princess of Asturias Awards, one of my favorite moments arrives: the royal family’s visit to the Exemplary Village. In 2025, the destination was Valdesoto, a beautiful parish in Siero surrounded by green meadows that seem like something from an Asturian postcard. And, as is tradition, the King and Queen and their daughters not only brought warmth and excitement, but also a great deal of style. Queen Letizia once again demonstrated practicality, choosing an outfit that suited the terrain while maintaining her signature style. She chose a short navy…

Infanta Sofia demonstrated a very distinct and well-defined style. At the 2025 Princess of Asturias Awards, the youngest member of the royal family chose a look that exuded strength and character, making it clear that she is no longer the “little one” of the Royal Household, but a young woman with her own identity and taste. Her choice, a burgundy dress with transparencies and layers by the Spanish firm Miphai, was undoubtedly one of the most talked-about of the evening. The design, featuring soft lines yet a strong presence, is part of the Amber model from Miphai’s…

Princess Leonor once again took the stage at the Campoamor Theater, and she did so with a confidence that, while no longer surprising, was nonetheless moving. Her speech at the Princess of Asturias Awards was the longest to date, and also one of the most personal. Those who saw her speak for the first time in 2019 will remember a somewhat nervous teenager; today, however, we saw a future queen with her own voice, capable of connecting with her generation and those before it. When she described herself as “a Gen Z daughter of an Xer and…

Queen Letizia once again turned the Princess of Asturias Awards into her best runway. This time, she surprised everyone with something that rarely happens: she wore the same dress twice. But she did it so masterfully that no one would have noticed at first glance. The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia chose a black strapless design from the Spanish firm Sybilla, the same one she wore months ago at the Mariano de Cavia Awards, but now reinvented with a fresh and very elegant touch. The silk crepe dress, featuring an inner corset, was transformed…
