There has only been a big expense: the impressive silver dress signed by Gabriel Lage, Argentinian with a Galician father, which Letizia wore at the gala dinner offered at the Royal Palace to the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his wife, Sheikha Jawaher bin Suhaim Al Thani. It is estimated that the price would have been around 10,000 euros.
