King Felipe and of course Queen Letizia too were in the conversation with the gentlemen but obviously the Queen saw King Carl Gustav approaching and it is definitely more DISRESPECTFUL for her to not greeting the Swedish King and kept continuing the conversation and let it goes on until Carl...

It is not a matter she is the future Queen. She is the wife of the 2nd in line to the throne but Queen Victoria’s will was that the Circlet is to be worn by Queens (who have been crowned not one who will become Queen at some point in the future). It is the same as the La Buena in Spain. Did you...

Very sad and devastating news even though as expected. I have been keeping logged in the Forums every hour since the news of his deteriorating condition in hope for a miracle. May he rest in peace and my utmost thoughts are with the entire Grand Ducal family during this difficult time.

The State Visit from the present King to the UK took place already in 2001. I do not think he will make any again for the remainder of Elizabeth II’s reign.

This is marvelous news!! After the Spanish State Visit last year and the longing for an incoming Royal State Visit, this State Visit from the Dutch counterparts has finally come!! I am extremely over the moon with the news!!

So, has it been confirmed by the Danish Royal Palace of the foreign royals attendances? According to the British Royal Engagements, the Wessexes got nothing on this weekend plus we can see from WA’s birthday last year that the attendances weren’t mentioned but the Wessexes were there indeed.

The Duchess’s game has started & she totally mastered it right on her very first engagement !! Huge bravo for her!!!

Not all of the Princesses performed the curtsey to Queen Sofia. Was it because she no longer Queen Consort? As I remember once a monarch, always a monarch.

I believe they were showing their respects to the new sovereign. I think they did for once only, not as like with other HRHs. I remember reading that Queen Mary was already frail by that time, but still insisted to perform a curtsey to her granddaughter.

I have been having very anxious feelings and as the Queen and the Duke are in vulnerable ages too...

Do we happen to know if Princess Nobuko was present at the vigils and the funeral service? I have only seen her arriving at the Estate paying the last respect on the day Prince Mikasa passed away.

It is not the first time that Mary has met the Queen. I believe they did meet in private for The Prince of Wales's 60th birthday dinner/concert hosted by the Queen in 2008. Regarding the carriage seating arrangement, I think it is decided by the big boss, Her Majesty herself. I think it was...

Seems like the Girls tiara for the Banquet tonight along with a dress which Her Majesty has worn first in Australia in 2006 and then in the United States in 2007 for the Banquet with President Bush.

It just happens as like the Diamond Jubilee Carriage Procession for Queen Elizabeth II when Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall stood in for Prince Philip.

"Her Majesty the Queen" in this instance refers to Queen Elizabeth II i think. From Belgium, only King Philippe attends, according to various sources.
