Believe it or not, there are royal families around the world that are not the British royal family—and they are not only as fascinating as the Mountbatten-Windsors, but sometimes more so. And, though this article is actually not about the BRF, we did write about Prince William’s decision not to attend the women’s World Cup final in Australia yesterday, where England lost to Spain, 1-0. (Spoiler alert: the decision was not received well.) William’s absence was juxtaposed with the presence of Queen Letizia of Spain, who was in attendance alongside her daughter Princess Sofia. Who is Letizia? We’d be happy to introduce you—but first, let’s check in on how she spent her (very exciting) weekend in Australia.

Known as one of the most glamorous royals globally, the Queen of Spain did not disappoint in Sydney, wearing a red blazer and trousers by Hugo Boss. “The choice is unsurprising: the label is a staple (the queen favors sharp tailoring and sleek silhouettes) and bold scarlet is one of her signature colors (as well as being the color of Spain’s national kit),” Tatler reports. (Fashion diplomacy is employed by royals far beyond the British; the team’s nickname is “La Roja,” which is Spanish for “red.”) “The boot-cut trousers and longline blazer struck the right balance between business and regal elegance,” the outlet continues. To finish off the look, Letizia wore Latouche black boots, diamond and ruby earrings by Gold&Roses, and a Carolina Herrera bag. In addition to watching the match with bated breath from the presidential box, Letizia and Sofia joined the victorious team for the trophy presentation ceremony.
