Farewell with honors at the foot of the T4 runway, at the Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas Airport. This was the boarding of King Felipe VI and Letizia on the plane that will take them to Holland. The monarch and his wife boarded the aircraft around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16. They are accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares.

The outfit is combined with a white top and medium-heeled slingback shoes (the well-known kitten heels), very comfortable for traveling. This heel format has become one of their favorites due to the two-for-one effect: it is stylish and also comfortable.
