Larzen I have seen photos of Hakoon, and Federico and Mary with Naruhito, but not with Akihito and Michiko, they met with them? The one of the Gala dinner also seems rare to me.

I believe this information is not accurate (though it would be lovely to see Letizia wearing a gala dress again. How long since last time she wore one?).

At the Royal House website, they classified both dinners (With the Emperor and Empress and with the Crown Princes) as "Cena" if it was supposed to be a gala dinner, it would be classified as "Cena de gala".

Let's keep our fingers crossed to see if the Emperor and the Empress have changed their minds and decided to offer a gala dinner instead of a regular one...

Haakon and F&M with the Emperor and Empress (The admin can remove this post\pictures if they dont want it in this tread:) ) I just cannot imagine that the Emperor would treat the visiting royal different so I think no gala dress. Sniff. We`ll have to wait for the next statevisit

Between the organizers of the diverse anticipated official acts it is counted at any moment on the possibility that the princess cancels some of the activities to which has predicted to attend next to prince Felipe.
