Close up of Mette-Marit tonight at the Royal Navy Club, it looks like she bringing the golden purse from the spanish state visit, and the same golden shoes.
The last one is when she & Haakon greet the King & Queen. She looks very graceful..

it's not only when they are offering the drinks. Thailand is only the few monarchy who still preserved tradition like this. I remembered seeing pictures of arriving royals when they are on state visit, then, they would be welcomed by a lined up of royal servants kneeling down to the floor. It's still amazes me sometimes.

This has been a most wonderful day! Thank you so much, Jess! (And all the others too, of course!) Such wonderful pictures and it's only getting better and better! What a wonderful event and what a splendid palace. And all those boats on the river! The Thai people definitely know how to throw an impressive party.

As for the train pics: both Mathilde and Maxima look stunning! :)
