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.

We only know who have attended the following day based on the Court Circular or sometimes of course via the Live Broadcast and the photos released may show the Royals at the back.

There is an incoming State Visit from Singapore to the UK in October. My guesses would be: Her Majesty: My guesses would be the Burmese Ruby or the Girls of GB. I wish she would take the Oriental Circlet out again :( She did look really grand on the debut in Malta back in 2005 but I wonder why...

The Prince of Wales with the Duchess of Cornwall, the two Princes & the Duchess of Cambridge were all scheduled to attend but due to the morning sickness, the Duchess had to pull out.

I did notice of the presence of the portrait but I think it appeared more like Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother than the current Queen.

I have seen pictures from Getty that shown the Governor General of Commonwealth of Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove along with Lady Cosgrove at the Service.

Was late for the first bit, so can only see HM in kind of raspberry pink outfit with the Saskatchewan brooch I think. In the first carriage with her of course is the Duke and also John Warren joins them too.

As usual, the Wessex are not in the carriage procession :( I'm not sure if they are going to the races today or not as the Live coverage only shows the procession at the moment. So far the first carriage with the Queen, Prince Philip, Princes Harry & Andrew. Second carriage with the Princess...

Yes, I believe that given the stroke problems last year and of his advanced age (the Duke will be 80 next year) it's better for him to be in the carriage rather than keep on horseback. The Duke is Colonel of a major Guards Division, the Scots Guards, so they can not just put him coming to the...

Yes i think they may stick to that arrangement from this year due to the Duke's age plus if anyone remembered, he had suffered a stroke last year so I think it is better to be cautious. He is the Colonel of the Scots Guards which forms the Guards Division, so I think from now on, he is always...

This is a State Visit of Her Majesty and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to President Hollande. The PoW, the DoC and the Cambridges are only here to participate in the D-Day commomerations, they are NOT on a State Visit, plus they are not the Head of State.
