Queen Letizia of Spain looked effortlessly elegant as she stepped out in a chic patterned dress and long black overcoat to attend a meeting in Petrer.

The Spanish royal, 50, was pictured in the monochrome ensemble as she arrived for a meeting with the Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases in the Alicante province.

She donned a stylish black and white over-the-knee dress which was tied with a belt at the waist to add shape to her look.

To guard against the cold on the bright but chilly day in Alicante, the monarch chose a stylish black overcoat.

She teamed the outfit with a glamorous pair of tall black suede boots to add an extra layer of warmth.

Letizia opted for simple jewellery, wearing a delicate pair of diamond drop earrings and a chunky gold ring on her index finger.

Her brunette locks were styled in a sleek blowdry, managing to keep their hold against the wind.

Keeping her make-up understated, the royal sported a subtle bronzed look with a rosy blush and clear lip gloss.

As honorary president of the organisation, she chaired the meeting of the Network of Direct Care Centres and Specialised Services of the Spanish Federation for Rare Diseases at the Sense Barreres centre today.

Letizia is particularly active in the healthcare field and regularly visits hospitals to meet medical professionals and see the work being done.

A clip captured the moment Iran’s ambassador to Spain, Hassan Ghashghavi, didn’t shake the hand of Queen Letizia but preferred to opt for the polite greeting in his culture

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were hosting their annual reception for the Diplomatic Corps living in Madrid 

Last week, she attended a cancer conference in Madrid which discussed strategies to tackle the disease with some of Spain’s leading cancer experts. 

The monarch also came under scrutiny when the moment she met Iran’s ambassador to Spain last week went viral after royal fans mistook his traditional greeting for a ‘disrespectful’ snub to the royal.

Queen Letizia and King Felipe VI hosted a reception for Spain’s Diplomatic Corps at Zarzuela Palace and lined up to great their guests at the start. 

Footage shared to Twitter showed that Iran’s ambassador to Spain, Hassan Ghashghavi, shook the King’s hand, but placed his hands over his heart and nodded to the Queen.

Placing a hand on the heart with a nod or slight bow is considered a polite way for a man to greet a woman in Iran, but some royal watchers were confused by the lack of handshake.
