Queen Letizia is the Queen of Spain and of wedding guest style it would appear. The Spanish Queen, 51, looked so stunning in a set of unearthed photos from 2011 where she was seen in London looking like a fairytale princess.
The then-Princess Letizia was seen alongside her husband and mother-in-law Queen Sofia attending Prince William and Princess Kate's pre-wedding party on the eve of their 2011 ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London.

The garment's bodice was covered in floral beading and embroidery which trickled down the skirt effortlessly. The skirt had a thin organza layer over the top to add volume and create the fairytale feel.

© GettyTo accessorise her look, King Felipe's wife wore dainty drop diamond earrings and a clutch made from satin in the same mauve hue as her gown. Queen Sofia also wore an organza ballgown but with a full skirt in chocolate brown with teal embroidery, whilst King Felipe looked handsome in black tie.

She dazzled in a red satin gown with ruffles over the shoulders and falling from the waist. Her pristine side bun has to be seen to be believed.

© GettyOn Princess Kate's big day at Westminster Abbey, Queen Letizia looked stunning. She wore a soft pink knee-grazing dress with floral embroidery and fluting on the skirt. The royal styled the dress with a pair of suede gloves, a matching clutch, and peep-toe heels.

© GettyThe Spanish royal has worn an array of fabulous outfits to Westminster Abbey since Princess Kate's 2011 wedding. In 2017, Letizia and Felipe were seen during a state visit to the UK leaving the Abbey in a floral green skirt with a blue fitted shirt and navy platformed heels.
© GettyLetizia also epitomised elegance in 2022 during the memorial service for the late Duke of Edinburgh in a cinched bottle green coat dress and coordinating fascinator before wowing in the most sensational pink two-piece skirt suit at King Charles' coronation.
© GettyThe mother-of-two wore a peplum collarless jacket by Carolina Herrera in candy pink with buttons down the front and embroidery around the neck. She styled the garment with the matching pencil skirt and a pair of platformed pink slingbacks.

The pièce de résistance was her incredible hat with pink netting which complemented her flower-shaped diamond earrings.
