Green goddess! Queen Letizia glows in an emerald green top as she attends the technical awards in Madrid

Queen Letizia proved she is a real gem when she stepped out today in a chic emerald green blouse.

The Spanish monarch looked elegant as she attended the Discapnet Awards in Madrid, teaming her green shirt with a pair of matching heels and white bootcut trousers.

Her freshly cut hair looked shiny and sleek and she smiled at well-wishers as she walked into the event.

Now in its seventh year, the Discapnet Awards honor ICT-based initiatives that make technology more accessible to people with disabilities.

Four prizes of €5,000 are available for categories such as ‘Best ICT-based product or service’ and media channels that help inform people about the support available to them.

It is undoubtedly interesting for Letizia as a former journalist who worked as a news anchor at CNN+ before meeting King Felipe.

It comes after Letizia’s daughter, Crown Princess Leonor of Spain, had a royal inspection from her father this week.

King Felipe visited the future queen, 18, and her classmates at the military training center in Zaragoza.

Leonor donned her best camouflage as she joined the maneuvers performed by the students of the General Military Academy at the San Gregorio National Training Center on Monday.

The Spanish king, who also donned the army uniform as commander-in-chief of all Spanish armies (land, navy and air force), shook hands with his daughter as she stood among other military trainees.

The royals later sat next to each other as they enjoyed lunch with military students at the national training center.

The princess, who turned 18 in October last year, has been making solo appearances and training at the Military Academy to ensure she is ready for her future in the monarchy.

The royal was pictured wearing a helmet and camouflage clothing. She gave lessons with the group.

It comes after Leonor was the picture of confidence when she made her debut at the military Easter ceremony for the New Year in January.

Proud parents Queen Letizia and King Felipe were also present at the Royal Palace in Madrid as the heiress presumptive marked the start of the new year in full military garb.

The annual ceremony welcomes the start of the new military year, with the custom dating back to Spain’s King Charles III in the 18th century.

The princess was clearly confident as she stood next to her mother and father in her military uniform.

In September, the future Spanish queen enrolled at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza in northern Spain, where she will undergo three years of military training.

It is expected that after a year at the academy, Leonor will move to a naval academy in Spain before completing her final year of training at the General Air Academy.

She was the picture of military precision in January, with her hair pulled back in a braided bun and not a crease in her dark gray uniform, with a blue sash.

Her mother Letizia was typically chic in a silk blouse and high-neck skirt, which she paired with pointy black heels.

She completed her simple ensemble with a sleek ponytail hairstyle and opted for simple, fresh makeup to mark the start of the new year at the Royal Palace.

The Spanish queen wore a black jacket with a fur collar as the family stepped outside for part of the ceremony to greet those taking part in the Military Easter.

Her husband, King Felipe, was also dressed for the annual ceremony.

Like his eldest daughter, Felipe wore his military uniform, complete with a red sash around the waist and numerous glittering medals.

King Felipe, father of two daughters with his wife Queen Letizia, served in the military for nearly three decades until he came to the throne in 2014.

During his long military career, King Felipe was promoted several times, reaching the status of lieutenant colonel in the army, frigate captain in the navy and lieutenant colonel in the air force in 2009.

When he became king on June 19, 2014, when his father abdicated, King Felipe was appointed commander-in-chief of the entire army.

Given his own experience in the military, King Felipe must be especially proud of his eldest daughter, Princess Leonor, who will begin a three-year military training course in August.

The heir to the Spanish throne will one day become commander-in-chief of the Spanish armed forces.
