Looking typically stylish, Letizia teamed her £333 black and white coat, from Spanish brand Mirto, with an elegant white blouse.

She finished off her look with a smattering of glamorous makeup while keeping her brunette locks down.

The Royal Spanish Academy, also known as the RAE, was founded in 1713 and has since contributed to the expansion and conservation of the unity of the Spanish language.

The organisation dedicates itself to language planning and promoting linguistic unity within and between various territories that might use the Spanish language.

Letizia enjoyed a long career in TV and newspaper reporting before marrying her husband King Felipe, 53, in 2004.

She worked for the La Nueva Espana before moving on to the ABC, a popular national newspaper. 

She then worked for the EFE news agency, a Mexican local paper Siglo 21, the Spanish version of Bloomberg, before moving to CNN+. 

When she met her husband-to-be, Letizia was working for the popular TV channel 24Horas as both a breaking news reporter and anchor for their popular Telediaro 2 evening news bulletin.  

She met Felipe VI at a dinner party in 2002, and the pair enjoyed an instant connection, leading to their royal wedding in May 2004.
