I wondered why CP Mary was wearing the Order of the Elephant. Seems like she doesn't have any Japanese sash yet.
CP Frederik and CP Victoria are wearing the Order of the Chrysanthemum and Queen Maxima and Queen Letizia are wearing the Order of the Precious Crown.
Any trace of the Belgian monarchs yet?
Anyhow, I'm thrilled of the glittering jewels.

I guess Liechtenstein is represented by Prince Alois.
Look behind Prince Charles. The man is really looking like Alois.

That's certainly Prince Alois near Crown Prince Hussein.

More screenshots of Imperial relatives. Interesting at ex-Mikasa and Takamado princesses wore tiaras and orders whereas daughters of an emperor (Sayako and Takako) did not.
Ayako and Kei Moriya

Ex-Princess Yasuko of Mikasa and her husband Tadateru Konoe. She's wearing her order and a tiara. Ahead of them are former princess Takako and her husband Hisanaga Shimazu. Takako is Emperor Emeritus Akihito's youngest sister.

I hope better photos turn up.
Excellent video of the morning court ritual, especially the end where the Imperial family bow 3 times to each sanctuary

Lovely pictures so far. Love the style of the dress code for ladies, always loved long dresses with hats. Can't wait to see more pictures of the event.
Btw, is Ayako pregnant?
Also, where are the Brunei royals?

Mathilde and Mary win the day with their elegant gowns. I love Maxima's gown, but that flower on her head … what was she thinking? And, Letizia! It looks as if she's wearing something fashioned out of her grandmother's bedspread! The belt doesn't help the look at all.
JMHO.

This video from the Spanish RH just came up on my Twitter feed and I think it is very cute! It shows the arrival of several foreign royals:
https://twitter.com/CasaReal/status/...974786560?s=20
F&L first arrive and greet CG & Victoria and I can't really follow the conversation but I Leti asks Victoria about her kids, from some video/picture they have received? Ans I guess she talk about Estelle cause she asks her age and Victoria answers "seven"...and then I'm pretty sure Letizia says something like "I think we could organize something next summer"? I think it is a lovely little talk.
Then WA&M arrive and Max and Leti obviously greet each other in Spanish, but what surprised me is that Leti greets also WA in Spanish. And then WA says "what a nice gettogether!"

Letizia’s English is really good. And it is nice how Victoria curtsies to all the Majesties regardless of whether anyone is filming it or not,, which she couldn’t possibly know.
Máxima with the Mellerio ruby, Letizia with the Fleur de Lys, Victoria is wearing the Laurel Wreath and Mathilde appears to be wearing the base of the Nine Privinces, but I didn’t see it very clearly.
So most of my predictions were wrong as usual.
Edit: I didn’t see CP Mary arriving.

So happy that Ayako is pregnant….
But where was Aiko, is she considered too Young to attend ?
Nobody from Norway ? I know Queen Sonja and Mette-Marit are unwell, but what about the King or Haakon ?

Protocol is in place whether there are cameras or noT. It would be more noteworthy if she didn´t curtsy.
