The Queen of Spain Dons an Heirloom Diamond Floral Tiara in Madrid

The 19th-century jewel can also be worn as a necklace or corsage, and Queen Letizia paired it with a new Carolina Herrera gown.

  • On Tuesday, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron for a state banquet at the Royal Palace in Madrid.
  • For the gala, the Queen selected a nineteenth-century floral tiara originally commissioned by King Alfonso XII for Queen Maria Cristina, later gifted to Queen Sofia by Franco in 1962.
  • Letizia paired an elegant Carolina Herrera gown with diamond earrings that originally belonged to Queen Ena, pieces now part of the joyas de pasar collection reserved for Spain's Queen.
  • During the visit, French President Emmanuel Macron received the collar, sash, and star of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, while Letizia wore the Legion of Honor insignia she received.
  • Queen Sofia wore the tiara regularly until her husband's 2014 abdication, often loaning it to family members; now Queen Letizia serves as the primary wearer of the historic Spanish jewel.
