Today, Queen Letizia attended the closing ceremony of the XIII Call for Social Projects organized by the Santander Bank in Madrid.

Each year, Santander Bank donates money to several social projects from their “Euros from your Payroll” program in which for every euro the employees of the banks donate, the entity contributes another with the aim of promoting projects that improve society. In her speech, Queen Letizia said: “As a society and as a country, we must feel happy, at least this morning, for your achievements, the achievements of those who continue to work every day, for many years, so that we are fairer, more inclusive, and more responsible.”

This year, the award ceremony honored sixteen projects in five categories: Early Childhood Education, International Cooperation, Disability, Social Inclusion, and Health. Queen Letizia met with the winners after the ceremony.

Queen Letizia wore her Sandro green printed dress with her Carolina Herrera black slingback pumps and Carolina Herrera black clutch. She also wore her gold hoop earrings and her Karen Hallam gold ring.
