King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain stepped out for a special engagement as they visited The Tyranny of Cronos exhibition, where their portraits by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz are on display.
The event took place at the historic Bank of Spain building on Wednesday, which saw the royal couple appear in awe as they viewed their striking images, captured by the famous photographer, who also joined the Spanish royals.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia are not the first royals to be photographed by the talented photographer, who became the first American to take an official portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth in 2007.
She also took the Queen's 90th birthday portraits – one alongside Prince Phillip and another with the youngest family members at Windsor Castle.
The iconic photo featured Queen Elizabeth II with her eldest five great-grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Isla and Savannah Phillips and Mia along with the monarch's youngest grandchildren, Viscount James Severn and Lady Louise Windsor.
