Queen Letizia and King Felipe VI of Spain attended the inauguration of the Botton-Champalimaud Pancreatic Cancer Centre today.
Mother-of-two Letizia, 49, donned a chic spotted dress with black court heels while Felipe, 53, appeared equally polished for the ceremony at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon.
Accompanied by President of the Portuguese Republic Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the royal couple were presented with information about the new building and expressed their passion for the fight against cancer.
The event comes less than a week after Queen Letizia attended a World Cancer Research Day event in Madrid.

Today, she opted for a stylish ankle length dress from Armani accessorised with a black belt to emphasise her enviable figure.
The mother-of-two completed her look by wearing her glossy brunette hair in a centre parting. Meanwhile, King Felipe looked dapper in a navy suit with a colourful tie.
The European royals were greeted upon arrival at the Figo Maduro military airport in Lisbon by officials including lieutenant colonel in charge of the Air Base, Mr. Abel de Oliveir.
They were then met by Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa at the Cidadela fortress, who went on to offer them a private lunch at the Palacio de la Cidadela, before going to the Botton-Champalimaud Pancreatic Cancer.

King Felipe spoke during the inauguration about the importance of research and collaboration in making a difference on a large scale
Attendees at the inauguration were photographed continuing to be mindful of the ongoing pandemic by wearing face masks.
The new centre has been opened with the intention of making a difference in the global fight to cure pancreatic cancer.
King Felipe said: ‘While it is clear that research is key against cancer, so is collaboration itself.
‘We are sure that all the findings that are carried out by researchers and doctors in this centre which we inaugurate today in Lisbon, will be shared with their counterparts in Spain and the rest of the EU.’

‘In this fight, as in many others, it is the closest cooperation that will allow us to continue advancing,’ he added.
The European royals went on to tour the chemotherapy area, the consultation room, the operating rooms, the room area and the machine area.
The new building, which is the result of collaboration between the Champalimaud Foundation and the Spanish couple Mauricio and Charlotte Botton, who donated 50 million euros, is set to be formally integrated into the complex managed by the Champalimaud Foundation.
The clinical institution is considered a European benchmark in oncological, neurodegenerative and ophthalmological research.
