King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain do not live in Madrid's Royal Palace, instead choosing to reside at Zarzuela Palace along with one of their two daughters, Princess Infanta Sofía.

It isn't often that royals fans get to glimpse inside the family's private palace, but in a rare video, Queen Letizia appeared to offer up a look inside her home office.

Spanish television channel RTVE, shared the clip to their Twitter feed, revealing where Queen Letizia works from home.

The royal stunned in a striking red suit and she stood inside of a set of large patio doors which open out onto the palace's pristine grounds.

In the surprisingly modern room, the royals have a wall of books, arranged eclectically upon white shelves, which adds to the contemporary feel of the working area.

There is also a very large all-white desk where a laptop is positioned. Just imagine working and looking out over those views!

The property, which is located just outside of Madrid, is reported to have 11 bedrooms inside, which is a good job considering the King's parents Prince Juan Carlos and Princess Sofía also reside inside the palace walls.

In 2014, King Felipe shared a Christmas message from inside his home, revealing a room with similar floor-to-ceiling windows. However, this space is a little more traditionally decorated with a patterned rug, antique-looking tables and large lamps.

As well as being a family home, the grand building does also get used for official meetings and engagements, where the audience room is used to welcome in guests.

The royal couple's eldest daughter, Princess Leonor, has moved out of the family home for her studies. The 17-year-old princess, who is heir to the Spanish throne, is currently studying for her International Baccalaureate at UWC Atlantic College in Wales.
