List of titles and honours of Queen Letizia of Spain

Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano has been the Queen of Spain since the accession of her husband, King Felipe VI, in 2014. She has received numerous titles, decorations, and honorary appointments as Princess of Asturias and as Queen of Spain.

Styles and titles

Upon marrying Felipe, Letizia was styled "Her Royal Highness The Princess of Asturias", as consort of the Prince of Asturias, heir to the Spanish Crown. Likewise, Letizia had the right to use the other titles that belonged to Felipe as heir (these were those of Princess of Girona, Princess of Viana, Duchess of Montblanc, Countess of Cervera, and Lady of Balaguer).

After the accession of Felipe to the Spanish throne, Letizia became queen consort and was styled as "Her Majesty The Queen". In private conversations, the most correct thing is to address her initially as "Your Majesty" (Majestad) and, later, as "Madam" (Señora), but never as "You" (Tú or Usted).
