Queen Letizia of Spain stuns in charcoal as she attends assembly at Royal Collections Gallery Museum in Madrid

Queen Letizia of Spain stepped out of an elegant light charcoal ensemble on Tuesday as she arrived for a meeting in Madrid.

The Spanish royal, 52, beamed as she appeared alongside her husband, King Felipe, 57, to attend a meeting of the Board of Trustees at the Royal Collections Gallery in the Spanish capital.

The mother-of-two put on a stylish display in a marl grey gown made by the Spanish designer, Cortana, which featured a distressed hem and ballet wrap design.

She elevated the glamorous yet professional frock with a figure-flattering black belt, cinched at her slender waist and fastened with a statement chunky buckle. 

The Spanish queen captivated crowds with the dazzling look, pairing her grey dress with a black handbag and textured boots in the same shade.

The royal had her thick chocolate tresses perfectly blow-dried to create a fresh and glossy look.

She wore typically tasteful makeup with a flawless base, expertly arched eyebrows and nude glossed lips.

Letizia attended the event alongside her husband, the King of Spain, who looked regal in bright navy suit and sparkling set of black brogues.

Putting her best fashion foot forward, Letizia – whose illustrious journalism career saw her report from Washington in the US, Guadalajara in Mexico and Iraq during the war – donned a colourful tweed top and scarlet leather skirt.

The long-sleeve ensemble was adorned with orange and pink patterns cinched at the waist to create a stunning silhouette.

Letizia added red kitten heels to finish the look off, and styled her brunette tresses in a bouncy blowout.

She kept her make-up look simple, with warm plum eyeshadow and deep pink lipstick.

The Queen grinned as she posed with the attendees, which included a committee of experts headed by José Luis Bonet Ferrer.

After the initial greetings, Fernando Ónega López, president of the newspaper 65ymás, also shared a few words.

Letizia has a successful past career as a reporter, which includes broadcasting live from ground zero after the 9/11 attacks in September 2001.

The royal, whose father Jesús José Ortiz Álvarez and stepmother Ana Togores are both journalists, worked in TV and newspapers before marrying into the Spanish royal family in 2004.

After a stint at Austrian daily paper, La Nueva España, she went on to work for ABC, a popular national newspaper that enjoys the third largest circulation in Spain.

Next came work at Spanish news agency EFE before a move to Guadalajara in Mexico saw her take on a role on local paper, Siglo 21.

Back in Spain a year later, she worked for the Spanish version of Bloomberg, a news channel and agency specialising in economics, before moving to CNN+.

By the time she met her husband-to-be, Letizia was working for popular TV channel 24 Horas, where along with anchoring the popular Telediario 2 evening news bulletin, she reported on a wide range of breaking news events.

In her role as queen, she has always made time to go back to her roots and attend events centred around journalism.
