Unless they were seated next to each other in honour of their wedding anniversary?

The Duke of Kent’s engagements haven’t been announced in advance for a while now. He may well attend some event if he feels up to it on the day.

Ingrid’s looking mighty cool in her uniform.

Will there be any public celebrations for these grand occasions?

Probably a farewell visit from a president who is also leaving office this year. After all Margrethe was his counterpart and colleague for most of his term.

Wonderful news. She’ll be truly professional head of state when the time comes. Lucky Belgians!

Hasn’t Lindqvist been a persona non grata in the Court since bashing the choice of name for Estelle? Anyhow, the change in the succession saved the Swedes from a fate worse than death…

Quite so! Compared to the Kings of Belgium or Spain, Denmark looks positively scruffy. He lacks the flair of his late father.

Exactly. The Duchess of Gloucester is clearly rewarded for her years of service. I believe she is the first spouse not married to the sovereign or the Prince of Wales to get the Garter. Sophie may get it too in the future but not during Charles’s reign.

Good to see the Ingolfs present.

A deserved gong for the Duchess!

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

Not unexpected news, even though disappointing. It’s sad to see the Kent branch fade away. They have served the nation nobly for decades. True bluebloods. It’ll be a hard act to follow for Eddie Edinburgh.

The Gloucesters and the Duke of Kent also present.

Dear oh dear… what a palaver.
