Letizia from Spain was able to put aside the scandal in which her daughter Leonor has been involved in spite of herself for several months. This Monday, June 27, the wife of King Felipe VI, received Jill Biden, first lady of the United States, in the Zarzuela Palace. The two women posed in front of the residence, shaking hands and competing in elegance. If the American had opted for a farting red skirt suit set, reminiscent of the blue that Brigitte Macron wore during the investiture of her husband in 2017, Letizia of Spain, perched on stiletto heels, had bet everything on a dress chic black polka dots from Sevillian designer José Hidalgo.
After getting to know each other, the two women took over the management of the AECC (Spanish Association against Cancer) of which Letizia is president. A cause dear to the heart of Jill Biden, herself very involved in the fight against this disease in the United States after the death in 2016 of Beau, one of the sons of Joe Biden, of brain cancer.
Letizia of Spain and Jill Biden were received by Carolina Darias, Minister of Health, the Spanish Ambassador to the United States and the United States Ambassador to Spain, as well as the President of the AECC, the president of Madrid and the director of research of the scientific foundation of the Institution. Jill and Letizia discussed with patients, relatives and scientists the various techniques for mitigating the side effects of certain treatments through cognitive stimulation workshops.
Jill Biden did not visit Letizia for the pleasure of being together, at least not only. This Wednesday, June 29, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Spain’s membership in NATO, the country is organizing a summit of heads of state and government of member countries of the union. A highly anticipated meeting after the G7, currently organized in Germany, where Joe Biden is before meeting his wife in Madrid.
