An expert on the royal family, very surprised, confirms what's going on with Queen Letizia and her jewelry

Queen Letizia has once again become the center of attention. Not only because of her usual elegance, but also because of the deep meaning behind her choice of a particular piece of jewelry. During her appearance at the Mariano de Cavia Awards ceremony, the wife of King Felipe wore a necklace that did not go unnoticed by those familiar with Casa Real.

Precisely for this reason, expert María José Gómez Verdú, one of the most respected voices in matters of institutional protocol, has confirmed that the use of that piece was not accidental. Her surprise was evident when she analyzed the image and discovered the symbolic weight that accompanied the spectacular pearl necklace adorning the queen's neck.

Queen Letizia dazzles with a pearl necklace that speaks without words

Queen Letizia attended the Mariano de Cavia Awards, presented annually by the newspaper ABC, with an impeccable look. She chose a black, strapless, elegant, and understated dress. She paired it with a single piece of jewelry: a striking pearl necklace that captured the attention of attendees and the media.

Lecturas magazine wanted to know more about that choice, so they consulted María José Gómez Verdú. Her response was clear and full of meaning. The necklace she wore is made up of 37 pearls and is part of what are known as the "joyas de pasar" of the Spanish Casa Real.

According to the expert, it is a piece with history. It was acquired in Saint Petersburg in the 19th century by Queen María de las Mercedes and has been passed down from generation to generation. It belongs to a group of jewels that, by the express wish of Queen Victoria Eugenia, can only be worn by consort or reigning queens of Spain.

"These are not simple pieces of high jewelry. They are a dynastic legacy," Gómez Verdú clarified. That's why their use always carries a very clear institutional significance.

The most surprising thing, according to the expert, is that Queen Letizia chose this piece of jewelry fully aware of what it represented. Her styling was not merely an aesthetic matter, but a calculated gesture with a specific goal: to convey a message.

The latest message Queen Letizia has sent with her jewelry

María José Gómez Verdú went further in her analysis. She stated that Queen Letizia's choice of that necklace was a deliberate and symbolically powerful act. She explained, "It was not only a statement of elegance, but also a gesture of institutional depth."

She added that the mother of Leonor sought to pay "tribute to her predecessors, from Victoria Eugenia herself to Queen Sofía. She projected an image of continuity, strength, and institutional maturity."

"That necklace is a piece that speaks of status, but also of tradition and permanence. By choosing it at a national event with great media visibility, Letizia made a subtle yet powerful reminder of the monarchy's stabilizing role."

This is not the first time Queen Letizia has turned to fashion as a form of expression. Her style has evolved since her early years in Casa Real, and she has managed to turn each appearance into a combination of elegance and message. This time, with the "joyas de pasar" necklace, she has gone a step further.

Protocol expert María José Gómez Verdú has confirmed it: it was not a casual choice. It was an act full of intention, with a clear communicative goal. The queen spoke without words, but the message has been received loud and clear.

With this decision, Casa Real reaffirms its historical role, its legacy, and its continuity. The wife of King Felipe shows, once again, that she masters like few others the balance between personal style and institutional responsibility.
