Queen Letizia and King Felipe of Spain hosted a diplomatic reception on Wednesday where the royals met with diplomats across the world, but one moment did not go to plan.
During these diplomatic receptions, the King and Queen stand side-by-side and shake hands with each ambassador as they pass. As Wednesday's ceremony came to an end, Letizia ended up suffering a small mishap, with Felipe even getting involved. See the moment below and how the royals reacted to the moment.
For the event, the Spanish royal looked incredibly glamorous in a floor-length navy-blue dress that covered her footwear. As for accessories, Letizia chose a stunning diamond bracelet, alongside a pair of sapphire earrings and a gorgeous necklace gifted to her 20 years ago by King Felipe's parents, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia.
Despite being an annual occurrence, there always seems to be a little bit of drama at Spain's diplomatic meetings. During last year's event the royal was apparently snubbed by an Iranian ambassador when he didn't shake hands with her.

This dictates that a man should not shake hands with a woman unless she extends the arm first. However, he may still choose to refuse to shake hands at the time.
It's been a busy week for Letizia who was out in Madrid on Monday attending the National Disability Awards. Upon arrival, Letizia was received by the president of the National Heritage Administration Council, Ana de la Cueva.

Letizia is certainly known to be a style icon, and earlier in the month, she looked incredible as she stepped out for a meeting with the AECC (Spanish Association Against Cancer). For the event, the royal wore the 'Manet Austrian Jacket' by Frambua – a navy light tweed style with black piping and statement silver buttons.
