Why would he have to meet her? Her father hasn't been dictator for years now and she is on a wanted list by other countries.

I'm glad the King and Queen will be visiting Angola.
 
Their Majesties the King and Queen will make a state visit to the Republic of Angola on February 6, 7 and 8. During her stay, Their Majesties the King and Queen will be accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares.

No Banquet, so to see. It looks more a working visit than a State Visit, I must say.

Maybe Angola doesn't do state banquets (it was a Soviet Union satellite country not so long ago). Anyway it doesn't surprise me.

The livery on that plane is quite dull. It looks a 1967 design.

Is Spain the only European monarchy left still doing these kind of official departures with government representatives? Nice that they kept this tradition around.

Belgium and Luxembourg do it as well.

It was a most lackluster 'State Visit' and felt more like an Official one!
 
The King and Queen packed a lot into the 2 days and then travel on top if it.
