Queen Letizia of Spain proved that sometimes less is more, in a simple yet striking monochrome outfit in Madrid today.

The royal, 44, attended a reception at the Zarzuela Palace with King Felipe VI, where they met representatives from the Spanish broadcaster TVE to mark its 60th anniversary.

Queen Letizia, a former news anchor who used to work at TVE, looked stunning in a black top with a co-ordinating belted skirt, offset by dazzling drop pearl earrings.

It followed another strong sartorial display from the Spanish royals yesterday.

Queen Letizia and her two daughters, Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofía of Spain, looked super chic as they joined King Felipe outside Parliament before a ceremony to inaugurate the XII Legislature in Madrid, Spain.

Princess Sofia, nine, donned a burgundy dress complete with bow detailing, whilst Leonor, ten, looked stylish in a grey dress.

Both young girls looked to be future matches for their mother in the style stakes when they appeared before the cameras yesterday, teaming their outfits with cute ballet pumps and their signature braided hair styles.

It appears the young princesses did not join the King and Queen at today's event.
