The centre has been described as a "benchmark for contemporary art that will house the 3,000 works that make up the collection". Construction of the building has been widely praised and it is the Spanish nominee in the "Mies van der Rohe 2021" European Architecture Awards.

The King and Queen met artists, viewed current exhibits and spoke to those who have been working on the project since its inception.

    This skin-tight tweed from Felipe Varela continues to look fantastic on Letizia, I don't think anyone else can make this woven fabric look so svelte. It's so beautifully pointed up by the row of buttons, slim black belt, snakeskin pumps and matching bag. Even the patch pockets look figure-hugging. Chic and minimal,it seems very on point for a contemporary art exhibition

    I think this is one of her most iconic looks/silohettes (together with introducing pant suits to the spanish monarchy). It's a fantastic piece- especially because it is extremly timeless. And she looks stunning in it.

Princess Charlene's Van Cleef & Arpels Ocean Tiara

Van Cleef & Arpels  has been the official supplier to the Principality of Monaco since 1956.

Inside Queen Máxima's Week: From the United Nations in New York to Supporting Mental Health in Rotterdam

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands wears many hats in her professional life. One of these, which is hugely important to her, is her work as United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA). The Queen is considered a "leading global voice on advancing universal access to and responsible usage of affordable, effective and safe financial services". I've followed Máxima's work with the UN quite closely over the years and it's been incredible to see her utilize her pre-marriage career (Máxima was vice president of the emerging markets division of Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in New York and worked for Deutsche Bank in Brussels before marrying Willem-Alexander), combining that experience with her platform. One of the most visible aspects of this role is travelling all over the world on behalf of the UN, including to its New York headquarters. Earlier this week, Máxima shared her new Annual R

One of my favourite royals and a lady I know is very popular among readers is Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. So, I know you'll all be pleased to hear she made her first post-summer break appearance today for a special service marking Christiansfeld's 250th anniversary in Southern Jutland.

The family have also been following the World Cup, and when Denmark played Mary's home country of Australia the couple shared the following message: "We cheer from 'Top Over' and all the way 'Down Under,' when the match against Australia starts at the World Cup. Come on Denmark." Embed from Getty Images The break comes ahead of a busy autumn which will see their eldest son Prince Christian turn 18 in October. As heir to the throne, there's

Queen Camilla in London to Celebrate 'Poetry Together' & Honour RAF Heroine

The King and Queen are marking their first summer in Balmoral. It's a significant time, with a host of family members coming and going. Though we're only a year into the new reign, we're very much seeing Their Majesties' tried and true method of supporting causes close to their hearts, in tandem with the more ceremonial aspects of their new roles.

Embed from Getty Images The Poetry Initiative was launched four years ago by broadcaster and writer Gyles Brandreth in partnership with National Poetry Day and Dukes Education.

Queen Rania Visits Home-Based Kitchen Empowering Women

Queen Rania of Jordan spent a wonderful day with Firyal Kofahi’s home-based kitchen business in Irbid governorate’s Hawar village. It came on the eve of Rania's 53rd birthday. A key focus of the Jordanian Queen's life's work is highlighting and supporting economic opportunities for women. I recently stumbled upon an interview with Rania from almost twenty years ago in which she discusses her passion to uplift women and girls: "By empowering women and giving them skills, money and confidence, their self-respect increases as does the respect they receive from their family and community. It is also a well-documented fact that when women’s participation in the labor market increases, the entire society enjoys an increase in productivity", the Queen said. "The inclusion of women at all levels of economies is a powerful engine for national development. Slowly but steadily, some of the world’s poorest regions are realizing this and reaping the rewards of an empowere

The Fascinating Story Behind One of Princess Grace's Most Memorable Portraits...

This post is part of a series I'll be writing called  The Royal Decade . A staple of pieces chronicling key events, faces and fashions from the 1950s to the 1990s. Each decade will have a dedicated section on the page. In time, I hope to create an archive which I hope will serve as a useful tool for both lifelong royal watchers and those completely new. Each post is written using my own collection of books, articles and trusted sources to ensure accuracy. Whilst covering the latest news is the primary goal here at The Royal Digest, the quieter August period feels like the perfect time to get this page up and running. Cast your minds back to 1958. In Monaco, Palace officials are searching for the right person to paint the most famous woman in the world -- Princess Grace of Monaco. Grace and Rainier had just welcomed their second child, a son named Prince Albert, and a brother for Princess Caroline. They were the toast of the town not just i
