Queen Letizia has never let her position prevent her from having fun with fashion - as the studded leather top and leopard print coat she chose for a charity event last week proves.

But when the Spanish Queen does opt for pared back classics, she pulls it off with aplomb.

Letizia welcomed members of the Royal Academy of Engineering to Madrid's Zarzuela Palace on Tuesday, looking understated and chic in black trousers, a simple tweed top, and skyscraper heels.

The Spanish monarch wore black cropped trousers teamed with a colourful fitted top

She attended a number of audiences at the palace, which is home to Queen Letizia, 44, her husband King Felipe VI, and their children Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofia of Spain.

Tuesday's engagement came after the Queen made a solo appearance at a domestic violence charity meeting, and joined her husband the King to dish out trophies at the National Sports Awards last week.

It's been a big year for the Spanish royals, with King Felipe VI celebrating his 50th birthday in January.

The monarch marked the occasion by honouring his eldest daughter, Princess Leonor, in a speech, as he presented her with the Order of the Golden Fleece.

He told the 12-year-old she was taking a 'very important and symbolic step towards your future role'.
