The Queen began the week by presiding over the Retina Eco awards in Madrid, which recognize the projects most committed to defending the Environment. Letizia has chosen an emerald green Zara dress (with matching earrings), the tone that is identified with environmentalism, to attend the event that took place at the Royal Tapestry Factory in which she was accompanied by the president of the Congress, Francina Armengol and the third vice president of the Government and Minister for the Ecological Transition, acting, Teresa Ribera.
