The 49-year-old is often seen wearing Massimo Dutti dresses. She also wore Macarena shoes in black and CXC jewellery earrings.

She previously wore her black and white spotted frock in July 2020 for a visit to the Principality of Asturias. 

The former journalist kept her make-up to a minimum, showing off her natural beauty while on stage. 

Wearing her brunette hair loose, her soft waves swept her shoulders and were tucked behind her ear to show a flash of her hooped earrings.

Between 1982 and 2021, La Caixa Foundation has allocated 189 million euros to the scholarship program, which is one of the largest of Europe. 

Throughout this period, 3,687 university students have been able to extend their training abroad with scholarships from La Caixa Foundation. 

The former broadcast journalist Letizia tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month after showing mild symptoms of the virus.
