Letizia of Spain presented an award to actor Michael Douglas at the weekend. The Queen wore an elegant silver dress for the film festival.
The Spanish island of Mallorca has long been dear to the heart of the American actor Michael Douglas. The Oscar winner often seeks rest and relaxation on the S’Estaca estate near Valldemossa. He should therefore be all the more pleased that he was honored with the “Masters of Cinema” award for his life’s work on Sunday evening during the closing gala of the Atlántida Film Festival. And from the Spanish Queen Letizia herself.
The awards ceremony took place in the courtyard of the Misericòrdia complex in Palma in mild weather. The wife of King Felipe VI looked almost like a Hollywood star herself: in a tight-fitting metallic dress, which she combined with strappy sandals and a sequined handbag, she walked the blue carpet with Michael Douglas. The actor chose a dark suit and a blue and white striped shirt for the occasion.
Michael Douglas seemed to have a lot to tell the Queen, as they chatted animatedly. After awarding him the Lifetime Achievement Award, Letizia applauded the Hollywood star, who proudly held up his award.
Perhaps Douglas told the Queen about his future plans, in which Spain seems to play an important part. On September 25, the star will turn 80. This is probably an opportunity to slow down a bit. He now wants to spend “six or seven months” in Mallorca, he reported during a press conference before the awards ceremony, according to the “Mallorca newspaper”. He dreams of living a “simpler” life – apparently away from the glamorous world of Los Angeles.
