King Felipe VI of Spain may have been hosting the annual Prince of Asturias awards but it was his wife Queen Letizia who turned heads at the ceremony. Looking as graceful as ever, Letizia, 42, proved that she was one of Europe's most best-dressed royals as she stepped out to the high-profile event in the region's capital city of Oviedo. Letizia and her husband Felipe, who donned a blue tie, were giving a nod to the Asturias region, whose flag bears a light shade of the colour. The queen couldn't hide her pride and affection towards her husband as she kissed him on the cheek and walked hand-in-hand with him to the stage where he delivered a much-awaited speech. This was the first time that Felipe, 46, and Letizia had attended the event as ruling monarchs, as the king ascended the throne last June. The awards recognise those who have contributed significantly to the world of science, humanities and public affairs. "As a boy standing in this same auditorium, I presented the first awards and gave my first speech in public," said Felipe, who has been overseeing the ceremony that was originally named after him since his teenage years. "And supported by the strength of hopes and dreams, convinced that there is nothing we can't do without courage and determination, we have moved forward year after year," he said.
