Queen Letizia of Spain put on a glamorous display in a pale pink skirt suit on Wednesday as she and her husband, King Felipe VI, met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome.
The Spanish royal couple’s meeting with Ms Meloni in the Italian capital took place on the first day of their two-day state visit.
Letizia, 52, looked stylish in a pale pink, embroidered skirt suit, which she paired with pointed toe high heels and a handbag in the same shade.
The royal’s suit jacket had puff sleeves and embroidery featuring pearls down the front.
Cinched at the waist, the jacket kicked out, while Letizia’s fitted pencil skirt fell just below the knee.
The mother-of-two wore her dark brown hair in a classic blow dry and tucked behind her ears to reveal a pair of gold and diamond earrings.
Letizia’s wore little make-up besides a warm bronze eyeshadow on her lids and a rose coloured tint on her lips.
King Felipe, meanwhile, looked dapper in a dark suit paired with a white shirt and a pale blue tie.

The smiling 56-year-old monarch was photographed with Letizia and Ms Meloni on the steps of villa Doria Pamphili, which forms part of the government headquarters.
Felipe and the Italian Prime Minister were also pictured sharing a joke, with Ms Meloni throwing her head back as she laughed.
Ms Meloni, 47, was ready for business in a beige trouser suit featuring a double-breasted jacket and a pair of wide-leg trousers.
She wore her blond hair in loose waves and brightened her complexion with gold eyeshadow.
On Tuesday evening Letizia and Felipe visited an art school – the Royal Academy of Spain – to meet with the Hispanitas Italiano Association for its 50th anniversary.
There, they met with fellows of the Academy and viewed works created by students from the previous academic year.
The Hispanitas Italiano Association was founded in 1973 with the aim of promoting exchanges and meetings between Italian researchers who are dedicated to studying the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America.
Letizia channelled the festive season in an all-white outfit consisting of a trench coat, trouser suit, and a scarf.

Complementing her ivory tones were golden heels and a metallic clutch – while Felipe, 56, opted for a simple black coat and charcoal grey suit.
The event ended with a reception for Spanish community at the Montorio Palace, the residence of the Spanish Embassy in Italy.
Some 500 Spanish citizens were in attendance, including businessmen, teachers, artists, athletes and scientists.
The King thanked everyone for coming ‘to our – and your – embassy in Rome, for this warm welcome to a country so close, near and dear, where, without a doubt, you have integrated and where you feel welcomed’.
He concluded: ‘We are very happy to be able to meet you and greet you personally and we are looking forward to you sharing your experiences here with us.’
According to Il Mattino, a news outlet based in Italy, Letizia and Felipe will continue their state visit in Naples on Thursday.
