Monday, June 23, 2014, 16:06 [IST]

It is official now, Spain has a new King and Queen. While we are not going to follow royal protocol and say, 'Long May They Reign', we surely find this new development very interesting. Princess Letizia of Spain is now the Queen. Did you know that she is the first commoner in history of Spain to ascend to the throne? And Letizia Ortiz's style is sure to give Kate Middleton a run for her money.

While the Duchess of Cambridge has hogged media attention ever since her marriage to Prince William in 2011, Princess Letizia of Spain has lived elegantly in the shadows since 2004 when she married Prince Felipe, heir to the throne. She was actually a TV journalist in Bloomberg and CNN before she got married into the royal family. By the way, she is also a divorcee!

Today, when Spain gets a new King and Queen, we are wondering how such a fashionable royal could have escaped media attention for all these years. Letizia Ortiz has a style statement that is fresh and does not lack variety. The new Queen of Spain is also the queen of fashion. So if you are starting to get a little bored of Kate Middleton's coat dresses and recycled outfits like us, you should really watch out for Letizia Ortiz's style diary.

These are the most fashionable moments of the new Queen of Spain that you might have missed. Hurry up, we have a lot of catching up to do on Princess Letizia of Spain.

Wedding Bells

This is the moment when a commoner became a princess. Like every rags-to-riches stories, Letizia was all smiles like a fairytale princess on her wedding day.

Wedding Gown

Princess Letizia's ivory coloured wedding dress belonged to her mother-in-law. The full sleeved and raised collar wedding dress had a train that was 15-foot long. She also wore the former Queen Sofia's diamond and platinum tiara.

Nude Coloured Gown

At the wedding ceremony of Crown Princess Victoria Of Sweden, Letizia opted for a nude coloured gown with floral lace details.

Little Green Dress

The new Queen has a very modern style and patronises Spanish high street brands such as Zara and Mango. This short green dress has sheer lace sleeves and embellished details.

Going Red Hot

Letizia is not afraid to try something provocative and daring once in a while. This red coloured strapless gown is quite bold for a royal princess.

Journalistic Precision

This portrait of the Princess with her husband shows that she still retain her journalistic style.

Fit for Royalty

The princess was dressed from head to toe like a proper royal in this black lace gown with sheer full sleeves and diamond tiara.

The New Mom

When Spain saw the birth of their first crown Princess, the Queen opted for a simple loose fitting cream coloured pant suit unlike most other royals who wear frocks to hide post pregnancy bellies.

The Royal Portrait

The Princess stands in a perfect family portrait with her husband, two daughters and the former king and queen of Spain. The King abdicated his throne because he did not want his son Felipe to 'wither' away like Prince Charles who is the oldest Prince of Wales at 62.

The Black Lace Number

We have seen Kate Middleton wear a black lace number that is very similar to this off-shoulders dress. We applaud Princess Letizia for her original style.

The Casual Mom

Here we can see the future queen dresses in casual white trousers and a sheer summer shirt taking her two daughters for a walk.

Hat Fetish

Did you think that only Kate Middleton had a fetish for cute hats? Well, check out Princess Letizia wearing a stunning feathered fascinator hat with her steel grey gown with lace details.

Blazer & Florals

True to her Spanish origins, the Queen likes to dress in florals. But she has toned down the feminine look with a formal looking black blazer.

In Skirts and Shirts

The future queen looks like a 'girl' in this ensemble wear. She has paired up plain white collared shirt with a blue and silver striped silk skirt. We just love the hair band she is wearing.

White Crochet

The queen is a picture of serenity in this white crochet dress that has been teamed up with a white cropped coat.

Cute In Capris

The first commoner queen of Spain knows how to dress like a commoner. She is wearing three-fourths with a sleeveless top and a scarf for a perfectly casual day look.

Red Riding hood

Red fires up the gorgeous royal's look like no other colour. We love the look of her in this blood red gown.

Coat Dress

Royals are famous for wearing coat dresses that just merge into each other. Even Kate Middleton is falling prey to this habit. But when Princess Letizia wear a coat dress we don't expect it to be boring.

In Pencil Skirt

Every few women have the figure and the confidence to wear a pencil skirt like this one. Just love the contrast of white and black in this ensemble.

Leather Pants

Can you imagine that a future queen can actually dare to wear thigh fitting leather pants? And she actually dared to pair it up with blood red high heels.
