Queen Letizia wears Hugo Boss top for THIRD time as she attends fundraising event in Madrid

The Duchess of Cambridge has been dubbed the queen of thrift because of her tendency to recycle her outfits.

But it seems she's not the only royal who isn't afraid to be pictured in the same clothes more than once.

Queen Letizia of Spain has worn the same black and white check top three times in the last four months.

The
42-year-old wore the windowpane check top by Hugo Boss for the third
time today as she attended the Fundeu 10th Anniversary at BBVA
Foundation in Madrid.

The glamorous mother-of-two paired the top
with black trousers and high heels and added a pop of colour to her
ensemble with red lipstick and a red clutch.

The Spanish royal was
last seen in the Hugo Boss top in November when she welcomed charity
campaigners to the Zarzuela Palace on the outskirts of Madrid.

On that occasion she teamed it with red heels and more subtle make-up.

Cross stall in Madrid, right. On both those occasions she wore red heels

She also wore the garment in October as she spent the day manning a Red Cross stall in Madrid, again wearing it with red heels.

Today the queen received a warm welcome when she arrived at the anniversary event without husband King Felipe, 47.

She wore a long, black coat on her arrival which she took off before she went on stage to make a speech.

It's been a busy week for Letizia, a former journalist, as on Sunday
she and the king attended a Spanish cultural awards ceremony.

For that occasion, she looked stylish in a navy, cream and black £1753 illusion dress designed by Carolina Herrera.

Thanks
to her choice of flattering dresses, smart suits and designer garments,
the queen is gaining a reputation as one of the world's most stylish
women.

to Prince Felipe of Spain in 2004, Queen Letizia has cemented her status
as a royal style icon.

'With an air of casual elegance, the
former journalist infuses her professional wardrobe with chic statement
pieces and a hint of sultry appeal.'
