I'm curious as to what happens in these visits. Can anyone clarify? Do they just really go and introduce themselves as the new king & queen of Spain and that's it? It's not like a state visit?
Well, I suppose it's the royal version of going round to meet the new neighbours - or rather the new neighbours going round to introduce themselves. It's a formal, official visit of introduction where the new king and queen pay a courtesy visit to their counterparts in other countries and to meet high profile officials such as the minister of foreign affairs.
The key words being introductory and courtesy.
