The coronavirus pandemic has marked each of the steps taken by the Kings of Spain, who were forced to stop with their official agenda and reinvent themselves, betting by teleworking from La Zarzuela and confirming itself like the rest of Spaniards. Obviously, these changes made Queen Letizia’s closet also affected and while staying at home he opted for tailored suits, simple, sober and in accordance with the circumstances in the country.
Later they decided to make a tour of Spain to provide all their support to the different sectors that had been affected by the pandemic in its most economic and social sense. This official trip they both did it at first solo although on some occasions they had the presence of their two daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía.
It was here that Queen Letizia returned to those official acts, although in her clothes she preferred to bet on a slightly lower cost wardrobe accustomed to another social moment. It should not be forgotten that Queen Letizia has always been characterized by spending a lot of money on her wardrobe, however, in such a complicated year the international website Ufo No More has made it known that she has been the queen that has invested the least in clothes during the year 2020. As this website has investigated, Queen Letizia premiered 97 pieces during this time and its annual expense would have amounted to 15,892 euros, something that is far from the expenses of previous years, since in 2019 the expense was 42,448 euros.

And compared to the rest of the European queens there is a woman who has spent much more than necessary and it is Charlene of Monaco, the wife of Prince Albert of Monaco. Although she released fewer garments than Queen Letizia because she only wore 74 new garments, final expense was 106,238 euros, so more than 2,000 euros per piece would have been spent. Do not forget that Charlene from Monaco is a great fan of luxury brands such as Armani or Oscar de la Renta and it is clear that choosing these designers raises the price of clothing quite a bit.
Meanwhile, Queen Letizia continues to bet on Spanish garments from firms such as Adolfo Domínguez Pedro de Hierro and Roberto Verino, without forgetting that she quite likes clothing from Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti or Uterqüe, getting clothes from these Spanish stores to sell out for becoming a benchmark in fashion.
Mette-Marit from Norway, the most austere of all
Behind Charlene of Monaco is Kate Middleton who would have spent 86,800 euros in her wardrobe in 2020, and her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle is not far behind, with spending 50,053 euros. But there have been a royal that has spent much less of the money that Queen Letizia has allocated and has been Mette-Marit of Norway with .11,287 euros. Without a doubt, the spending of Queen Letizia has been characterized by being quite austere compared to other years and it has been a good way to reflect the moment that Spain went through.
