The Queen has put often on this suit, is of that more she repeats. The Queen Sofia repeats even more than Letizia, because she repeats the suits one year after other one.

why? She has enough money to be prada's and valentinos more than letizia. I read in the spanish newspaper, i don't know when, she has more money than letizia because of the importance of the events she has. Is that true?

In this moment I do not believe that this way, possibly Letizia has a major expense. The women of the Spanish Royal Household buy the clothes for her work, not for lucr how models. The Queen buys a few new suits every season but always she takes advantage of those of previous years. Letizia has just come and clothier as wide does not have a cupboard as that of the Queen, because of it I imagine that now she spends more in clothes. In both cases they have a classic style, which allows them to re-use the clothes year after year without the clothes fashion show.
They are practical women, that they do not spend the money to the crazy person and wasting. To buy a suit for ponertelo one or twice and to leave it in the closet, or to buy always clothes to the last fashion so that in 6 months it does not serve... in my opinion are of wasteful and capricious people.

Thanks for the explanation in your best translation into English.

What means "ponertelo"? Maybe is to use, i think.

I am sorry, sometimes some word slips past in Spanish. " ponértelo " it means " to put on "

I read that is the king Juan Carlos who divides his 7 annual million for the children, for the wife and for proper. But how much the queen earns?

It is not known, only La Zarzuela knows it. The Parliament gives a budget to the King and he distributes it, with it he has to pay the "salaries"; his, of the Queen, the Princes, the Infantas and part of the persons who are employed at La Zarzuela, and varied expenses of the Headquarters of the State.

The Zarzuela fought as far as possible to avoid a suspect photo of the King with Kofi Annan

Between the advisers of the Zarzuela the preoccupation spread back these days of which somebody took a photo from the King in the UN embracing to the Secretary General, Kofi Annan, a man marked by the corruption scandals.
Annan has been directly sprinkled by the case of corruption of its son
in the program "Petroleum by foods", in that the million perceived dollars were in the name of their son and his brothers.
The Secretary General of the UN, that soon it will leave the position, is every more isolated day, and therefore, eager to elbow themselves and to be photographed with world-wide
personalities. For that reason "Alliance of Civilizations" saw the sky opened before
the possibility of adding to the "project" of Rodriguez Zapatero on
the call, that it is supporting with enough fervor.
In the Zarzuela one studied how to manage "to move away" to Don Juan
Carlos de Kofi Annan, also considering the case of its Arab friend, dealer of arms and married with a Longoria, that it follows without appearing. Although some of its more direct friends yes knows where it is.

it's a chanel outfit or from a spanish designer?

It is diffícult of knowing without seeing the etiquette. The fabrics that Chanel uses can be later be equal or very seemed in the shops of fabrics, any designer can do a similar suit, which differentiates them is the etiquette. For example, Margarita Nuez does many of the suits of the Queen, and can use this fabric, there can look like the suit, but not to be of Chanel.

Wow! The Queen looks absolutely beautiful in this outfit. Thanks for the pictures.
