Queen Letizia started 2025 on the right foot by participating in one of the most outstanding events of the Spanish royal agenda: the Pascua Militar (Military Easter).
This event not only marks the beginning of the official activities of the royal family, but it is also a tradition celebrated every January 6, a very significant date for the monarchy.
On this occasion, the Queen was accompanied by her husband, King Felipe, and her daughter, Princess Leonor. The presence of all of them highlights the importance of the event, where the royal family is united and committed to their duties.
Queen Letizia also took the opportunity to show off her signature style.
This Monday, she dazzled with an elegant outfit consisting of a burgundy sweater and a long skirt of the same tone, a choice that gave her a sophisticated and chic air.
But what really caught the eye were the stunning jewels she wore, especially her pearl necklace, which is an icon in the royal jewelry box.
Queen Letizia’s Pearl Necklace
This necklace has a fascinating history. Originally, it was an engagement gift that Francisco de Asis de Bourbon gave to Queen Isabella II of Spain in 1846.
Years later, King Alfonso XIII decided to buy it before it went on sale, giving it to his wife, Queen Victoria Eugenia, in 1906, reports Vanity Fair.
It is one of those pieces that have passed from queen to queen, which gives it an even greater sentimental and historical value.
Queen Letizia not only opted for the necklace, but also combined it perfectly with pearl earrings that she has had since Leonor’s birth, forming a harmonious ensemble.
This thoughtful style and her choice of jewelry treasure a connection to her royal family and to history.
Soon, the Queen will make her next official appearance on Thursday, when a reception will be held for the diplomatic corps accredited in Spain, alongside King Philip.
In addition, on January 11, the two will travel to Cadiz to bid farewell to Princess Leonor, who will begin a five-month voyage aboard the Juan Sebastian Elcano.
The royal family has a start of the year full of activities, each one with its own weight and importance in the history of Spain.
