The portraits of the King and Queen of Spain are stunning and meet all of the standards of royal portraiture. The king looks so grand and regal and his elegance and height are perfectly presented. I wish these portraits were paintings
Yes but they look lovely in ALL lights. WHY PRESENT THEM SO DULL. Look at the so called ARTIST...looks like she DOES NOT TAKE A LOOK AT HERSELF! Not a pretty picture so WHY ASK HER? Horrid. Sorry but I have seen how lovely they can look so what is all this DARK and DEATH look about.....is the photographer got a box brownie and a dingy photographic plates? Back in the 1888? WTF. Spain is COLOURFUL. Get a SPAINSIH ARTIST not these dingy "blankety blanks". They are just walking heads with no soul.
The new Annie Leibovitz portraits are stunningly beautiful. The way they are placed on the wall, spaced at the correct distance apart, making them separate, but together as one... with every detail lined up, making them look like one portrait - Miss Leibovitz is indeed a brilliant photographer and who better to take royal portraiture to this level. The King would always stand out in military uniform... but the Queen, soft hair and dressed in a voluminous design, with understated fabrics, in total contrast with the ornate background... no need for oil paintings when photography is at this level. How could anyone dislike them! Thank You.. and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤🦘
Stunningly beautiful? Only if you look like one of the characters on Tim Burtons "Nightmare before Christmas". Look like Hobbit colours. DARK. Nothing "Spanish" about it. All because someone does not say "NOPE. I hate it". Who CHOSE THAT ARTIST? They need to go an have a rest as they are obviously a bit depressed. Bit too CAVE like and dark projection for a Royal House.
The portraits are stunning. The elaborate background adds to the majesty of the photos and continues the traditional setting found in many royal portraits without detracting from the subjects. Just magnificent. Of course, the king and queen are gorgeous anyway.
She is a wonderful photographer! I love the fact that her looks are fluid and set in some sort of motion rather than just head on facing. Very atmospheric.
Good evening Alexandra. The new portraits of the King and Queen of Spain are awesome! His uniform, her gown, the setting of the room they are in, just awesome! Great report, thank you very much for sharing. Have a wonderful evening Alexandra, take care 🙂
Muchas gracias a todos por las bonitas palabras dedicadas a nuestros Reyes , realmente son guapos, pero son mejores personas. Yo , como español, estoy agradecido de tener en España unos reyes tan magníficos, dedicados a los españoles en cuerpo y alma 👑👑🇪🇦🇪🇦
What beautiful new portraits of Spain’s King & Queen. It seems that, while the King & Queen are in color, their surroundings appear to be in black & white. Anyone else notice that? It certainly makes for interesting and dramatic compositions. Fantastic job by American Annie Leibovitz! 🇪🇸🇺🇸
I love how both portraits show the Spanish filling the room in different ways: King Felipe dominates the room with his sheer physical presence while Queen Letizia is so beautiful, graceful, and elegant which also fills the room. Truly awesome portraits. P.S. You had to know I would comment on this one, Alexandra lol.
🙂I did, Robert, and thank you for your comment! I've always been a fan of Annie's work and I believe she did an amazing job with these two commissioned portraits. Wishing you and your family a wonderful evening and a great day tomorrow!💐🙂
When I saw the new portrait of Queen Letizia, I was surprised by her presence. To me, the red cape symbolizes her passion and indomitable spirit. She is the image of a queen in the 21st century. Her beauty is enhanced by this red cape. Ordinary beauties are overshadowed by the red cape.
The portraits of the king and queen and Spain are just simply stunning. And the room that they are in is exquisite. It was a perfect setting. It was also good to see a picture of and here about King Harald. I have been worried about him. He looks well. Thank you, Alexandra again for reporting all of these stories. I look forward to your videos every day.
I, too, love the new portraits! So royal, full of majesty and richness. Also love the portraits of Queen Elizabeth with her great grand children, Princess Anne, and Prince Philip. Zara"s daughter clutching the Queen's purse, an historical photographic moment!
Wow, a lot of Japanese royalty! The photographic portraits are superb. How appropriate that the Queen wore a vintage dress from a Spanish designer. Thank you, Alexandra AKA best Royal reporter on RUclips
Good morning and thank you again for the detailed report. -- Annie Leibovitz is an amazing and talented photographer. It's the timing that's off -- given the societal issues in Spain at this time. Re the funeral of Princess Yuriko -- a grand lady, well recognized. Good to see the younger generations attending. Best wishes to you and yours as well as your staff this Thanksgiving holiday --
@,Famondesantis,la reina Letizia luce un maravilloso vestido del gran modisto Balernciaga,la fundación que lo atesora lo a cedido prestado"para estas preciosas fotografías En cuanto la princesa Kate,la recuerdo, antes de su penosa enfermedad, espectacular con un vestido negro y guantes blancos que parecia una estrella de cine Las mujeres delgadas y con mucho estilo se lo pueden permitir
I'm not sure about the spanish royal portrets. The king and the queen look stunning, but the background and the whole atmosphere are a bit dark, almost Gothic. Those relatively young monarchs should be presented in a more joyful and optimistic way. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I feel. Thank you for your lovely presentation (as always)❤
I like Het Majesty the Queen’s portrait. An original touch with her red gown cleverly arranged makes for an excellent composition. I am not so keen on His Majesty the King’s though. The dark palatial room looks sombre and dusty making him look old and tired. Somehow his portrait makes him look less regal than in real life. That is a pity, because in fact he is the most imposing and regal of all the kings.
A real Queen no needs Crown or Tiaras, yes was prepared but Ann opted by two pieces , the important pieces of jewels crown of Spain. She’s a Queen , work addict and mother . And us , like this .
TMs King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain 🇪🇸 are a lovely royal couple and I would love to meet their whole Spanish royal family and I dream of meeting a lot of European royal men and a lot of royal men from around the world 🌎❤️❤️🩹
Good afternoon Alexandra hope you are well. Princess Yuriko of Mikasa may she rest in Peace, lovely lady. Glad to see King Harald he sure keeps very busy and it looks like he enjoys it too. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands (blue dress with yellow/orange/pink; not becoming) at the evening ceremony attended by the King and his mother Princes Beatrix, she looks great by the way. Climate change is a huge problem; interesting the Erasmus Prize, Congratulations to the winner for is contribution. The portraits of King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain is nice. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa looks elegant she is one of my favorites love to see her, busy as always. Take care be happy till next time. Elizabeth ❤💐
Social media has been filled with a lot of whinging about the portraits…but I love them. They are extraordinary - though, of course, The King and Queen are physically stunning, so that helps!! Leibovitz brings an almost “Old Master” feel with her use of light, yet they are entirely modern.
I understand and agree that Mrs.Leibowitz is the Best photographer of the World.Anyway, I'm sure there are very good photographers in Spain.I cannot see why they didn't choose a spanish ph.
Stunning portraits of the Spanish Royal couple. Annie L. is a photographer in a class of her own. Queen Maxima's dress on the other hand looks that it belongs in a circus. Awful. Thanks Akexandra for the excellent reports.
I prefer Felipe's portrait. He looks more natural, less retouched, more relatable. Leticia's is beautiful too, except for her face. There's too much editing of her face: no wrinkles at all, her mouth looks weird, her skin is bronzed one tad too much, with weird shades and darker patches on her chest. I wish she had a little grim or smile. She looks like a Barbie doll from a far. It does not serve her justice.
I love these new portraits of King Felipe IV and Queen Letizia of Spain. King Wilhelm Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands are at the Erasmus Prize in Amsterdam. Maxims had on a teal dress with purple, yellow, pink, and red details. This is a hideous dress, The colors look terrible, tassles and feathers are too kitschy, and looked like something that Maria Teresa would wear. Typing of Maria Teresa she held an audience in Colmar-berg, She had this velvet blouse and wide leg pants with pointy toe heels. The color look great but the styling is way off, the blouse looked like a poncho and the wide leg pants made her legs bigger. The shoes are not helping her either.
I don't understand what the photographer wanted to convey with such a dark photo of the king. They could have chosen another area of the palace to make the photograph a bit warmer. The setting where the king was portrayed made me uncomfortable; I felt it didn’t suit him. As for the queen, perhaps a more conservative dress would have been better, as the king should be the one standing out.
As always good work Alexandra. Sadly, I'm not a fan of the portraits for many reasons, especially at the moment when Spain has experienced such disaster & turmoil. Sorry but I find them irrelevant & ostentatious at this point in time.
Thanks for the video, the portraits of the Spanish monarchs are works of art as the setting is a very elaborated and historical one, and the composition is very fine. However the king and queen look so unnatural, Felipe makes an effort to look much older than what he is, that is his style, Letizia looks artificial and made up in her portrait, both looking very stiff and distant. The Spanish people need monarchs who are warm and natural who could be reachable, not distant and cold, nor superficial. It is a luxury that couple can’t afford.
The portraits of the King and Queen of Spain are stunning and meet all of the standards of royal portraiture. The king looks so grand and regal and his elegance and height are perfectly presented. I wish these portraits were paintings

The King of Spain is very handsome and the Queen looks stunning.

Hello Alexandra RDN
Bullfights come mind re spanish king and queens photo portraits
Doors and windows useage is sublime very evocative
Very VOGUE
Hi, Shira, how are you? I hope all is well! 🙂💐
Stunning portraits of the Spanish Royal couple.

Queen Maxima's dress on the other hand looks that it belongs in a circus. Awful.

State of Palestine? Where is that state?
They're not the worst portraits I've seen 😂. Hope everyone (who celebrates) has a lovely Thanksgiving 🙏 🦃 🥧 💖✨

Hi, Polly, Happy Tuesday! I hope all is well with you. 🙂💐
Regarding The Grand Duchess, I must say that I do like the color; it suits her.
I agree on Grand Duchess MT. She so seldom gets an outfit right.
I don't understand what the photographer wanted to convey with such a dark photo of the king. They could have chosen another area of the palace to make the photograph a bit warmer. The setting where the king was portrayed made me uncomfortable; I felt it didn’t suit him. As for the queen, perhaps a more conservative dress would have been better, as the king should be the one standing out.
The portraits of the King and Queen are stunning, however I find the Queen unbecoming.
As always good work Alexandra. Sadly, I'm not a fan of the portraits for many reasons, especially at the moment when Spain has experienced such disaster & turmoil. Sorry but I find them irrelevant & ostentatious at this point in time.

The Spanish people need monarchs who are warm and natural who could be reachable, not distant and cold, nor superficial. It is a luxury that couple can’t afford.
Queen Letizia looks lustful and unbecoming. Why can’t she dress more decent and Catholic conservative like the Princess of Wales.
I think any lustfulness is coming from you, honey.
She is agnostic and this is art.
La reina Letizia viste exquisitamente, siempre adecuada a la ocasión. Kate siempre usa el mismo tipo de ropa, no es elegante, tampoco católica…
