Queen Letizia shines at Dutch state banquet with her fashion choices
First, there’s the most important protocol King Felipe and Queen Letizia follow to protect themselves abroad. Any food they consume outside the palace is pre-tested or prepared by a royal team to prevent poisoning. In addition, they travel with reserved blood supplies matching their blood types, prepared for immediate transfusion if needed.
In addition, the royal couple has booked hospital rooms in both regular and emergency departments, ensuring fast and private medical attention. For extra safety, they usually book an entire floor at the hospital of their choosing to keep things even more reserved.
But there’s also space for fun! For instance, Queen Letizia often requests a glass of Vichy Catalán with a slice of lemon and King Felipe usually loves to have tomato juice, which seems to be his go-to drink for enduring lengthy engagements.
