Overview
- At a November 21 ceremony in Madrid’s Royal Palace, Queen Sofía was presented the Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece for a lifetime of service.
- Queen Letizia appeared in a pale‑pink Carolina Herrera ensemble from Wes Gordon’s AW 2024–25 collection with matching Magrit slingbacks and mini bag, mirroring Queen Sofía’s similarly toned Alejandro de Miguel look.
- Royal fashion specialists interpreted the coordinated pink as a tribute to Sofía and a visual message of unity and continuity within the monarchy.
- Princess Leonor wore a burgundy Bleis Madrid tailored suit with Monpiel Mary Janes, while Infanta Sofía chose a modern Vogana top‑and‑trousers combination; King Felipe’s dark red tie aligned with Leonor’s palette.
- El Litoral reported additional honorees—Felipe González, Miguel Herrero and Miquel Roca—and noted the absence of Juan Carlos I, who was invited to a private family lunch the following day.
