Queen Letizia showed off her natural grey hair during a royal engagement on Wednesday.
The Spanish Queen marked the decade milestone of the "Talento Joven" programme at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Madrid on Wednesday.
Queen Letizia wore her brunette hair in a soft blow-dry, falling around her shoulders, proudly displaying her natural grey streak.
While she likely had grey hairs earlier, she notably began showing her natural roots and grey strands publicly around 2021.

The 53-year-old chose a cream trouser suit paired with a vibrant floral blouse from Hugo Boss for today's occasion.
The outfit resembled the ensemble Letizia wore on May 17, 2004, when she met with then-President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
This took place just five days before her wedding to the then-Prince Felipe.
Her Hugo Boss blouse featured a ruched neckline with scarf-style draping, ideal for the changeable spring weather in the Spanish capital.

The Queen of Spain accessorised with brown pieces, selecting a crocodile-effect clutch bag and 'Babies' block-heel shoes from French label Sézane.
For jewellery, she opted for her Coreterno ring alongside 'Superstar' star-shaped earrings from Valencia-based brand Singularu, priced at £17.99.
The gold-plated steel earrings have become a regular choice for King Felipe's wife since their debut during a Zarzuela Palace audience in November 2024.

The appearance marked a return to Letizia's characteristically vibrant spring wardrobe following a more restrained Easter period.
During the Good Friday procession in Madrid's Carabanchel district, she had opted for a sombre black coat and scarf alongside King Felipe VI and their daughters, Princess Leonor, 20, and Infanta Sofía, 18.
