The hidden message behind Letizia’s look at an important day

The Women for Africa Foundation exists ten years and to celebrate this anniversary she organized this week Women’s Bridges. Proposals from the South for global change† an international conference where about a hundred African, American and European leaders presented a series of proposals to improve the planet† Queen Letizia was responsible for presenting the opening session of an event held at the UNED Faculty of Humanities, also attended by senior government officials such as Pedro Sánchez or Irene Montero, among others. †

Dona Letizia was responsible for opening the conference International Women’s Bridges. Proposals from the South for global change† A meeting to be held on 19 and 20 May in Madrid; and in which more than a hundred outstanding professionals from different fields such as politics, economics, feminism, culture and media, from Africa, America and Europe will participate. Is about an event organized by the Women for Africa Foundation† a private non-profit organization founded in 2012 by María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, former Vice President of the Government of Spain. Since its inception, this foundation has worked with several African leaders to transform politics, aiming to make them protagonists and make equality the driving force of political development agendas.

For what was her last official appearance of the week, Queen Letizia has opted for a style of the most discreet† Doña Letizia rescued one of her favorite dresses from her wardrobe: her exclusive off-white design Iron Peter† A sleeveless dress with a wide skirt with pleats on the sides, with which the queen did not want to be the center of attention at this event. It is the fourth time that Doña Letizia uses this design in an official act. After its premiere during his state trip to Argentina in March 2019, he chose his discretion again months later, when he traveled to Seville to attend the commemoration of the V century of Fernando de Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano. The last time we had seen Letizia with this Pedro del Hierro design was in June last year, during her visit to an Emilia Pardo Bazán exhibition at the National Library.

Felipe VI’s wife took this again beautiful dress work by the popular designer from Madrid, although he has combined it in a completely different way than in previous performances. On this occasion, Queen Letizia has selected some of them: sling back pumps camel suede Carolina Herreramatching her bag Mini Dressage Insignia Bag, which also belongs to the Venezuelan designer’s collection. To your jewelry There have not been many surprises either. The Queen wears small cubic earrings with a diamond in the center, which she has had since 2005 and whose provenance is still unknown. He could also wear his inseparable ring from Karen Hallam†

His style lessons are no coincidence. Queen Letizia always carefully studies each of the outfits that he chooses for his public appearances, and this time he’s done it again. On a day that happens to coincide with the return to Spain of the emeritus king, Doña Letizia has chosen the color white: a symbol of tranquility, purity, purity and transparency† next to sobriety because it is a recycled dress for the occasion. Some codes that wanted to link the kings directly to the work of their government removed any controversy caused by the complicated legal situation that King Juan Carlos has been going through in recent months; as he no longer has any outstanding accounts in Spain.

After ten years of intensive promotion work, this organization already has important networks of leaders in all fields of activity, especially in the political field. The aim of the Women for Africa Foundation with this meeting is to try to capitalize on the experience these leaders have shared to build a common roadmap in favor of democratic principles, human rights, good governance and equality. “It’s not just any conference. It’s a special conference.” The President of the Council of State, María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, made an emphatic comment during the official presentation of this summit last April. The main purpose of this meeting is to capture the work of African women in building their political leadership and developing their equality agenda. The foundation intends show the strength of southern women and the need to work together† underline the importance of women’s political power and their ability to develop proposals that enable global transformation.

Among the participants in this meeting are in the first place a total of 68 political leaders at the highest level who are part of the six cohorts of the Strategic Impact Forum which the Women for Africa Foundation has held at Yale University thanks to the support of the Santander Bank† Along with them will appear other African political leaders who are part of the Foundation’s Advisory Council or network. Among those present, the names of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf or Graça Machel stand out. He will be by your side fifteen Latin American political leaders with high responsibilities. A group african journalists responsible for disseminating the reflections and results of the summit, and another african film makers linked to the entity’s program they are moviea project dedicated to showing films by African directors.

In addition, during the event this Thursday a documentary feature film is being shot directed by Spanish filmmaker Inés París. A production in which at least three African directors will also participate. The aim of this documentary is to portray the great challenges of governance, development and equality in Africa, to disseminate the aims of this ambitious program in a more visual way at various national and international festivals.

With this new performance, Queen Letizia closes her official agenda for a week that is very special to her. And it is that this Sunday, Don Felipe and Doña Leticia celebrate their wedding anniversary† next May 22 18 years old ever since the king and queen said ‘yes I do’ in Almudena Cathedral, during a rainy Madrid afternoon. A date marked in red on their calendar that they are sure to celebrate with great emotion, after their last two anniversaries were curtailed by coronavirus restrictions. While no details have been revealed about Felipe and Letizia’s plans for this Sunday, all indications are that the Kings will be celebrating this anniversary in strict privacy.
