i like when we see letizia genuinely smiling, which we usually don't. it is nice for a change to see her engaging and performing duties positively. even felipe seems surprised in that picture...

Never seen a portugese state visit like this. Why was the banquet held at this particular palace? These folcloristic groups, the Queen wearing no tiara while the duchess of Braganca does - everything seems to be irritating/ unfamiliar and beautiful at the same time... I´m confused....!
Very pleased to see His Majesty sporting a beard once more! It suits him so extremely well!

I agree. Many times her mouth smiles, but her eyes don't. Hope that makes sense!

There is nothing wrong with Queen Letizia being serious at times. Why do woman have to smile? I think she smiles when it is appropriate. Felipe is looking at her with loving eyes. I do not see any surprise in his eyes.

I suppose the Portuguese, as in other European countries, are somewhat nostalgic of their own monarchy, which explains the venue and the presence of the pretender to the throne and his wife.
Knowing that Letizia, like Sofia before her, was uniikely to wear a tiara on a state visit to a foreign republic, the Duchess probably should have refrained from wearing one herself. On the other hand, since it was a white tie event, a tiara was appropriate and Letizia could have broken with tradition and worn one.

I love the children dressed with the colors of the beautiful Portuguese flag 🇵🇹, the folkloric young people smiling and singing, serving also as a back drop. Everything was (for my own personal taste) beautiful. It showed the world their pride, heritage, and culture.
