Thanks Lula!
I love that outfit,i don´t know the jacket but the skirt is Hugo Boss.:wub:
 
Thanks Lula!for the pics:flowers:!
I like Letizia's outfit! She looks nice!
I can't see her bag...
 
I like what Letizia is wearing today, she always looks beautiful in red :wub: It's a recycled outfit but I haven't seen many photos before, hope we'll have more photos this time. It seems that Fall/Winter seasons are "thick black stockings" seasons for Letizia, just like last year ;) Oh is that the golden christmasy necklace she's wearing again? As I've said before, I don't like that necklace, not worth the price at all, but I guess it looks so much better now with this red/black outfit than the last couple of times she wore it. I have to see what bag/purse she brought along to complete the sophisticated look she has now.

A short video by RTP:
YouTube - Felipe & Letizia in Portugal - Portuguese TV



Letizia is wearing the same Hugo Boss skirt she used last year at the receptionof the Prince of Asturias Awards. This is the 3rd time that the town hall of Beja gives the Keys of the City to someone: in 1843 they were given to Queen D.ª Maria II, and in 1987 to the President of the Republic Mário Soares.

Los Príncipes de Asturias reciben las llaves de la ciudad portuguesa de Beja

Don Felipe thanked the honour given to him by the mayor of this little town and assured, in Portuguese, that he will keep the keys as a memory of this special day. He also expressed his wish to come back, to pay the brotherly retribution from the Spaniards. In addition, he has praised the beauty of the 17th century Church of Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres.

Hundreds of people applauded today the Prince and Princess of Asturias, as they arrived in Beja, and Felipe de Borbón thanked them with an "Obrigado!".
Today, after the delivery of the award, the Princes of Asturias and the President of the Republic shall inaugurate, at 5:00 PM, a Memorial of Alqueva and pay homage to all the men that have worked in the greatest barrage in Europe.

Letizia is wearing the black and red Hugo Boss skirt she used last year at the Prince of Asturias reception. They already received the keys of the city and are now having lunch with the presidential couple.

Wow, so many people there cheering for them and waving and clapping their hands. ITs great! I love Letizia's outfit, this is one of my favourite skirts. It's just lovely
 
 
It looks like she is copying Mary's style in Hugo Boss!

I prefer a dress rather tha the skirt with that red coat.
Beja is a very lovely country has all our Alentejo is! Is quite warm now here in Portugal so those black socks were not the best choice to me!!

Many thanks for the pics lula
I recall Letizia has worn this outfit twice already, once at the PoAA and once again shortly afterwards. Being always on top of her looks at the PoAA I already loved it back then and I also find it perfect for today's occasion. Everything matches well, handbag, stockings etc. Must be a great day for them, they have a close connection to Portugal and what a reception :)
 
ÚLTIMA HORA - PÚBLICO.PT

The Prince of Asturias, Felipe de Borbón, stressed today the secular cultural interchanges between Portugal and Spain, during a visit to Beja, where he received the Keys of the Town. The municipal distinction was given to the Princes, after a visit to the Church of Our Lady of the Pleasures, considered one of the most beautiful baroque temples in the South of Portugal.

During the cerimony in the Town Hall, the mayor offered the Keys of the Town to Felipe and Letizia de Borbón, who are the first foreign personalities to receive that municipal reward. After a private lunch in the Convent of São Francisco, the President of the Republic, Cavaco Silva, Felipe de Borbón and Letizia Ortiz are heading to the Alqueva, where they shall preside over to the award-giving cerimony of the international Prize "Puente de Alcántara", which was given this year to this hydroelectric-enterprise. The Prize rewards the best Spanish, Portuguese or Latin American public enterprise and this year Alqueva was chosen by the jury presided by Infante D. Carlos de Borbón, for being "harmonically integrated in the landscape".

After the delivery of the Prize, the President of the Republic and the Princes of the Asturias will inaugurate, at 5:00PM, a Memorial of Alqueva and pay homage to all the workers involved in the construction of the greatest European barage.
 
Portuguese people are very attached to what is called in Spanish "Revistas del Corazon", Gossip Magazines (Hola! Caras, VIP, Nova Gente, Flash! Lecturas...) almoust everyone buys them so it is quite normal for Portuguese people to receive Royals like this! They like them and they follow their lifes has their own lifes!They are quite celebrities here!

Not every royals, may I add, if you don't mind. If it was the Danish or Sweedish Princes, nobody would pay much attention.

They are received like this, because the Spanish royal family has such a close relationship with Portugal: King Juan Carlos passed his youth here and he is fluent in Portuguese... plus they are our neighbours, with very deep historical bounds uniting both countries, so they're seen like the royal family we don't have anymore.

If it was only the Queen and the King I think they didn't have this reception, because is Letizia and Filipe, the young Royal couple so mucht see lately in our Gossip Magazine, the reception was like this!

You are wrong Bioquinhas:rolleyes:, Princess Letizia first used this skirt before Mary (I checked this). Perhaps Mary copied to Letizia,In any case I doubt that they copied each other because they have own styles.

Well I supose one day in not enough to say that both Letizia or Mary are copying themselves! Prince of Asturias Awards was at 26 October and 50th anniversary of liberation of Hungary was 27 October 2007!!!!!!!! Maybe Hugo Buss made a very good publicity amoung royals that time!
 
I must say, the prince & princess have alot to do in one day. This is a nice short visit, might be busy agends but its nice to see them on the balcony, pictures show beautiful architectural work.

Beautiful pictures ladies, thanks...

I also think that the below information of the Couple visiting the workers is also a very nice thing of them to do:cool:

Last year's PoA Awards was Oct 20th (you got the wrong date again). By the way, you were starting the copying talk here. When Mary wore her dress, nobody had said she was copying Letizia.
