Does this "Official visit" mean that they will have a departure ceremony in Spain and official welcome in Poland by the President?

OMG they come to Poland
Great news !

[Nouvelle]

OMG, I can't believe they'll come to Poland!!! It's a such pity that I won't be able to be in Warsaw or in Gdańsk! I hope that at least one or two newspapers will write about it. When Princess Maxima and Prince Willem came to Poland, I didn't know about it at all. There were no infos. I hope this time will be better

Many thanks for the pictures so far. That's an interesting visit as it's obviously important for business interests. At the same time, the Princes are not the Kings and will have to keep a good balance ...
Lech Kaczynski is one of the identical twins that used to be in power in Poland. He's still President whilst his brother Jaroslaw was voted off as Prime Minister last November. Two brothers, identical twins to boot, occupying the two most powerful positions in a country, doesn't happen too often I guess.

Letizia's suit is repeated for the 136th time I guess but I still like it. It's one of my favourites and very appropriate for the occasion. Looking forward to the gala dinner tonight. I wonder if it will be pompous or only on a cocktail dress level.
