The monarch has opted for white dresses which are a characteristic style in the Balearic islands, specifically in Ibiza. The flowy outfits, paired with comfortable espadrilles, were Letitia’s go-to styles for the summery location.

During the trip, she mainly wore white dresses, except for one event where she wore a red belted dress.

The monarch has been praised by royal experts as being well-suited for the royal life, despite not coming from a royal family herself.

Historian Charles Powell of Real Instituto Elcano told the Reuters news agency that due to her non-royal background she “grounds” the king.

He said: “I think their marriage was a very positive thing.

“What she brings to the marriage is basically that she grounds him

“She makes him aware of everyday issues, everyday problems.”

Letizia became queen in 2014 when her husband, Felipe VI became king of Spain following the abdication of his father Juan Carlos.

When Felipe ascended to the throne, historians and royal experts welcomed the idea of Letizia becoming the first-ever non-royal to become queen of Spain.

She worked in Mexico for Siglo XXI and covered stories such as the 9/11 attacks on New York and the Iraq war.

One of her most famous public moments after she met Felipe happened as the couple announced their engagement.

She notoriously told Felipe in public to “let me finish,” in front of a throng of cameras as she tried to speak to the media.

Letizia and Felipe went on to have two daughters Leonor, 8 and Sofia, 7.

But Spain’s royal family is now surrounded by controversy as former king Juan Carlos I decided to self-exile amid a corruption investigation.
