Isnt Queen Letizia about 10 years older than Kate, and already a Queen not daughter in law to the Heir? Also, a lot of her 'engagements' are to schools and nurseries, not formal occasions. She could easily dress in something a bit softer.I disagree - There are women who have to dress smart for work in high positions and there are other royals who are of a similar age who dress a whole lot better than her and they too have to dress smart. See Queen Letizia below - looks smart and is stylish.
