Beautifull ancient ceremony!!
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:
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.
Nobody from Norway ? I know Queen Sonja and Mette-Marit are unwell, but what about the King or Haakon ?
Edit: I didn’t see CP Mary arriving.
More curtsies from Victoria when she and her father met Felipe and Letizia again.

I have not seen any pictures of Prince Hisahito attending his uncle’s enthronement. Was he there?
Is King Carl Gustaf seated next to the imperial couple because he is the longest reigning monarch in attendance or is it just a coincidence ?
I agree that the table cloth and decoration are disappointing for a gala dinner, but I assume Japan wanted to keep it low key with the recent typhon and a different social attitude in general vis-a-vis the Imperial Family. All monarchies are cutting on pomp and ceremony to a certain extent.
I guess Liechtenstein is represented by Prince Alois.
Look behind Prince Charles. The man is really looking like Alois.

Sorry, is the King of Swaziland (or Lesotho?) sitting next to CPss Victoria and his wife wearing a daytime suit?!
