CR's agenda says they will participate tomorrow on a lunch, that means they will go to Luxemburg in the afternoon? For how long are they going to be there? Is it confirmed that they will both go?
The only confirmation was the commentary that the Prince did in Hannover.
It does not appear in the agenda, it can appear tomorrow; but they can consider it to be a private act and not an official act. For example, the assistance of the Kings to the birthday of the King of Sweden does not appear either in the agenda. Sometimes they distinguish between the acts to which they come how representatives of the State (Thailand) of those that come only how members of the royalty.
Tomorrow they have a luncheon with the President of The Philippines, later they must fly Luxembourg (they are two hours), I imagine that the assistance to the Friday act will depend of the hour to which it begins.
Tomorrow we will see it.
