Was there a State Banquet or has that too been off the agenda?

Such a shame a white tie State Banquet in a Republic and then the Grand Duchess does not attend so we can not see a tiara

Which order did Henri received, because it's not the Order of the Three Stars?

[mybags]

He already as the Order of the Three Stars. He got it when the President of Latvia made a State Visit to Luxembourg in 2006. On this visit, he received the Cross of Recognition, 1st Class.

This mainly applied to state visits outside of Europe. Queen Beatrix made solo state visits to European countries (for example, her state visit in 2010 to Norway).

But to Belgium she was accompanied by them, and also to Germany

But we can see that this is not done everywhere. For example Queen Margrethe was accompanied on her state Visit to Germany only by Crown Prince Frederik, but not the Crown Princess.
