Traditional lunch of the Kings in honor of the Cervantes Prize, Luis Mateo Díez. The event, which takes place one day after the solemn ceremony at the Paraninfo of the University of Alcalá de Henares, has brought together writers, editors and academics around the large table in the gala dining room of the Royal Palace of Madrid. These are the details of an event that took place this Wednesday, April 24.
Mrs. Letizia entered the Gasparini room very happy, where the welcome reception for the guests took place. The Queen has opted for a Pedro del Hierro in baby pink. A creation by Nacho Aguayo with a trapeze-shaped full skirt and 3D floral details. The shoes, medium heels. As Letizia told us, this type of heel is the one that best suits her for events where she must stand for a long time.
The most photographed greeting, that of Sonsoles Ónega. Letizia and Sonsoles, friends since the Queen’s time as a journalist, maintain a close relationship. The consort went to visit the presenter when she was signing her novel The maid’s daughters, awarded the Planeta award. Both journalists shook hands and exchanged glances.
Among the guests, Javier Solana, president of the Board of Trustees of the Prado Museum; the journalist Rosa María Mateo, historical member of TVE and former president of the Board of Directors of RTVE, who has received an affectionate greeting from the Kings; Patxi López, secretary of the PSOE; and the presenter and writer Ángel Martín.
