It's official: the secret shared by Queen Letizia and Kate Middleton is revealed

Queen Letizia and Kate Middleton have been references in European royalty for years. Their public appearances generate headlines, their looks inspire thousands of people, and their gestures are analyzed in detail. However, beyond that, an official secret they share has now been revealed, which has strengthened their image as beauty icons.

What unites them is not only having gone from ordinary citizens to members of royalty after their marriages, but something much more personal. Both have shown they master an art that seems simple but makes a difference: makeup. An expert has publicly confirmed it, giving them prominent positions in a ranking of royals who know how to use makeup best.

The secret that unites Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia

Queen Letizia and Kate Middleton have been in the spotlight for years due to their membership in European royalty. They joined royalty from their lives as ordinary citizens after becoming engaged to prominent figures of the monarchy.

Until now, we thought this was what the two had in common, but it has now become official that there is something more. A secret they share has been revealed, elevating them as beauty icons. We are referring to makeup, to the fact that they always know how to choose it perfectly.

Makeup artist Víctor del Valle, in statements to Lecturas magazine, has created a list of the members of world royalty who use makeup best to enhance their beauty. In that ranking, Queen Letizia holds second place, just behind the Queen of Bhutan. According to the expert, the Spanish monarch stands out for her technical perfectionism: "There is never a mistake on her skin: it is flawless, polished, and natural, with a satin finish that lasts for hours."

This recognition doesn't surprise those who closely follow the sovereign of our country. Since she took on that role, she has managed to project a modern, elegant, and self-assured image. Her makeup usually features light foundations, a luminous finish, and precise details that highlight her gaze.

In Kate's case, the ranking places her in third place, just behind Letizia. For Víctor del Valle, the Princess of Wales is "the queen of elegant 'less is more'." Her classic style, based on neutral tones, soft liners, and pink nude lips, has earned her international recognition.

The makeup artist added: "She is sober, but always on point. That's what makes her stand out."

Both, therefore, share the same secret: impeccable use of makeup, which highlights their natural beauty and also conveys a message of confidence. That mastery places them as style references, beyond fashion, by showing that elegance also lies in the small details.

Queen Letizia and Kate Middleton: two references in royalty who have managed to reinvent themselves

Queen Letizia and Kate Middleton share prominence in the public sphere and have had parallel paths in their arrival to royalty. Both come from backgrounds far from royal families. The Spanish royal worked as a journalist and presenter before marrying the current King Felipe VI, while the British royal was a young university student when she began her relationship with Prince William.

That shared past has allowed them to connect with the public in a different way. They represent the ideal of women who, with preparation and dedication, have managed to adapt to the demands of the monarchy. Part of that adaptation involves taking care of their public image in detail, from their wardrobe to their makeup.
