Queen Letizia looked stunning in a colourful blazer as she was joined by her husband today to attend an annual charity meeting in Madrid.
The royal, 51, looked in high spirits as she greeted officials alongside King Felipe at the El Pardo Royal Palace in the Spanish capital city.
Letizia opted for a modest, yet stylish, ensemble consisting of a red, white and black tweed blazer which had frayed detailing along the hem and silver buttons embroidered with a flower print.
The mother-of-two paired this eye-catching garment with chic cigarette trousers, which showed off her toned, slim figure.
No stranger to comfortable footwear, Letizia sported shiny strappy black shoes for the meeting, rather than heels.

After a week of solo-visits as rumours swirl about the state of their marriage, Letizia was joined by her husband Felipe today

She also wore her glossy mid-length brunette tresses down in a straightened, styled blow dry and chose her usual glamorous makeup, consisting of shimmery eye shadow, lipstick, highlighter and bronzer.
The Queen kept things simple with her jewellery and wore classy silver pearl drop earrings, in-keeping with her elegant outfit.
Letizia and Felipe met members from the Princess of Asturias Foundation, a non-profit private institution founded in 1980.
According to the charity’s website, their goals are to ‘contribute to extolling and promoting those scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form part of the universal heritage of humanity and consolidate the existing links between the Principality of Asturias and the title traditionally held by the heirs to the Crown of Spain.’
This morning, the royal couple were presented with a detailed report on the work it carried out last year, as well as a report on the financial situation and assets of the Foundation.
King Felipe looked dapper in a smart grey chequered suit which he paired with shiny black loafers, a baby blue shirt and a sapphire patterned tie.
Their attendance has broken a string of solo-visits from Letizia over the past couple of weeks as rumours continue to swirl around the state of their marriage.

Yesterday, the Spanish Queen met with the Board of Trustees of the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid without Felipe.
On Tuesday, Letizia donned a lavender suit as she attended the ‘Euros de tu nómina’ (Euros from your paycheck) event alone.
Letizia also travelled to Guatemala on a solo three-day trip last week to learn about various projects where Spanish cooperation works.
These visits came after journalist Jaime Peñafiel, 91, launched a fresh attack on the European Queen with his new book ‘Letizia’s Silences’, which was published in Spain last week.
Following his first best-selling book ‘Letizia & I’ (which alleged that Letizia had an affair with her ex brother-in-law Jamie del Burgo), the veteran royal reporter claims in his latest work that Felipe was ‘aware’ of his wife’s alleged infidelity ‘in real time’.
In January, Jaime Peñafiel was sacked by the Spanish newspaper El Mundo after 20 years following a series of damaging allegations made in his first book ‘Letizia & I’.
His best-selling book alleged that Queen Letizia had an affair with her ex-brother-in-law Jamie del Burgo. The Spanish Royal Household refused to comment on the claims at the time.
In his latest work, Jamie claims that Felipe was ‘aware that Letizia was cheating on him in real time’ as her bodyguards have an obligation to report on her whereabouts.
The author alleges that bodyguards joined Queen Letizia on a trip she took to New York in 2011 with her ‘lover’ Jaime del Burgo, whom she had dated before meeting Felipe.

The author wrote: ‘That day [in New York], she was accompanied by her faithful escorts, who, without a doubt, any, they would pass a report to the Ministry of the Interior or [the Palace of] Zarzuela.’
Following this, Jaime claims that Felipe has been left ‘crushed and destroyed’ by his wife’s alleged cheating.
The royal reporter – who worked for Hola! magazine for 20 years – claims that Felipe has been ‘plunged into hell’ by his wife’s supposed ‘betrayal’ and ‘wants to get out’.
Elsewhere in the book, Jamie labels Queen Letizia ‘cold, emotionally immature and passive aggressive’ and makes unsubstantiated claims she is ‘hated’ by King Felipe’s family.
Jaime Peñafiel, 91, was sacked by the Spanish newspaper El Mundo after 20 years earlier this year following the publication of first book on the Queen called ‘Letizia & I’.
The book sent shockwaves through the Spanish Royal Family after the author alleged that the Queen had a romantic relationship with her ex-brother-in-law Jaime del Burgo. The Spanish Royal Household refused to comment on the claims at the time.
Following his dismissal, the veteran journalist has now written another book – called ‘Letizia’s Silences’ – which begins by delving into her early romance with King Felipe.
In the opening chapter, the author sensationally claims that ‘everything in Letizia’s world has been broken’ as a result of alleged ‘deceit, adultery and betrayals’.
The author goes on to claim that Queen Letizia has a ‘cold, indestructible and determined’ aura about her and that the royal’s silence on the recent allegations signify her ’emotional immaturity’.
Jaime claims the royal ‘resorts to silence as a way of controlling and punishing other people’.
He then goes on to claim that Letizia’s ‘passive aggressive’ behaviour towards King Felipe is the reason her ‘mother-in-law [Queen Sofia] and sisters-in-laws [Infanta Cristina and the Duchess of Lugo] hate her so much’.
In the following chapter, Jaime alleges that King Felipe fell in love with his future wife while watching her present the news.
