Last year, Queen Letizia went brilliant blue for Pascua Militar. I must admit I miss the color this year, but it was cold in Madrid and she was right to cover up tight.

Spain

We’ll do the big event first. The 2021 Pascua Militar was pared back this year, and conducted in brilliant cold weather – -3 degrees celcius, or about 26 degrees Fahrenheit for the U.S. folks. Queen Letizia was bundled up in her Carolina Herrera wrap and wore a Maksu blouse. The entire family was seen heading off to celebrate the Epiphany with Letizia’s father in the afternoon.

Pieter and Margriet celebrated 54 years of marriage, and it seems it has been wedded bliss because he posted this sweet tribute. Doesn’t Margriet look cute? (Note Google translate will give you an interesting translation, just a heads up).

Japan

It’s always good to get a glimpse of one of the Sparkle Sisters. Princess Mako was out to attend a ceremony commemorating Emperor Showa.

Denmark
