According to the Elysee Palace , the visit has been postponed .
The royal couple will stay in Paris for the day, the King will meet the Prime Minister and visit the crisis center dedicated to the crash this afternoon.
 
Both Hollande and the King have said they expect to complete the State Visit at a most propitious time.
 
Such horrible and tragic news,the King was right to cancel his visit.
 
Its a national tragedy for Spain (and for Germany), its the right thing to cancel this visit.
 
 
Very sad developments indeed.
 
As others have already stated, cancelling was the right decision.
 
Cancelling was of course the right Decision, and what a Support the King had from his wife during his Elysée Speech.

But I have an economic Question , i felt sorry for.

Is it the first time that a 3 days Royal State Visit is cancelled ... This needed months organisation and what a great financial loss

I hope the 300 or more Guests meats for the State Banquet are in a huge deep freeze for a future Dinner.

I wonder if a 3 Days Royal state Visit are necessary ??
 
:previous: I don't know about the Gala dinner meals, but the Paris City Hall has distributed the lunch they had prepared for today among underprivileged people of the city (according to their Twitter account)
 
At the end the Queen of Spain kissed President François Hollande.
 
All posts and discussion on the plane crash and the involvement of the Spanish Royal family events (funeral, service etc) can be discussed in the
Royal Family and the Germanwings crash
Thread

Thank you!​

:previous: Great news. State Visits to see (also, it will coincide with the first anniversary of King Juan Carlos' abdication)
 
Great news! I thought they would take some time to announce the state visit.

ANNIE_S, your picture is fabulous. Velázquez was an amazing painter, "Las Meninas" is my favourite of his, and is also his most famous work.

Interestingly the official reception will be held at the Arc de Triomphe this time, it was "only" at the Invalides last march. This change is suggesting a state motorcade through the Champs Elysées, wich is the best honnor we can offer to a guest. For instance only QEII was welcomed this way during her state visit last year.

The Queen is very elegant and chic :flowers:
 
I'm so looking foward to this visit!

The cancellation was such a pity (especially under so somber circumstances) but we are rewarded with a visit to Paris on Spring, which is much better ;)

Now I'm expecting the pics from the reception, the setting on the Arc de Triomphe will be surely amazing :)
