Is Letizia wearing the sash of Denmark or something else?
As far as I'm aware Letizia is wearing the Spanish Order of Charles III as H.M. has not yet received any Danish ones.

She is wearing the Order of Charles III. She doesn't have the Order of the Elephant, because there never was a state visit to or from Denmark during her tenure as Princess of Asturias/Queen.Is Letizia wearing the sash of Denmark or something else?

Frederik is giving the welcome speech. And it's a confident and clear-speaking Frederik we can hear.
He has improved in recent month and I think he has taken lessons.
Queen Mathilde also does not yet have a Danish order and is wearing her Belgian one.As far as I'm aware Letizia is wearing the Spanish Order of Charles III as H.M. has not yet received any Danish ones.
The King of Spain seated beside his uncle the ex King of Greece,Queen Letizia is seared between the King of the Belgians and Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
Is Princess Elisabeth also there? I didn't saw her.

There were State Visits from Denmark to Spain and viceversa in the past, but I guess he was too young to receive the order. Probably Frederik doesn't own a Spanish one either.The same for King Felipe as he also has not yet got the Order of the Elephant.
I spotted GD Henri being a gentleman helping Letizia with the chair, which I saw no one from the younger generation of royals doing with their table partners, buhThe King of Spain seated beside his uncle the ex King of Greece,Queen Letizia is seared between the King of the Belgians and Grand Duke of Luxembourg.

Aren't the orders granted just before a State Visit so the guests can wear them at the Gala Dinner? I think that how it is done in Spain, but I may be wrong... I've seeing pics of the RF and their guests interchanging gifts (including orders) at the welcome on the first day.It was the same for the Netherlands. The last danish-dutch State Visit before this year was in 1984 but Willem-Alexander got it before this years State Visit. But probablly becuause he is Margrethe's godson.
Usually yes but sometimes they where also given out at official Visits or because of other reasons.Aren't the orders granted just before a State Visit so the guests can wear them at the Gala Dinner?

This is some of the things Frederik said in his speech to his mother:
"You are justified in being celebrated when you turn 75 and that is something you have taken seriously. A lot of Danes have taken part in the celebration.
You had expected and hoped to spend more time with the family before faith caught up and announced your lot as queen.
There are even grandparents who have lived only with you as head of state. You have always accomplished to make it look easy.
Dear mother, you have insight, wit and intelligence. You must know that no matter what the future will bring, you will at any time have my very highest respect".

She received it last month at the State Visit. But I think WA already had it before the SV.I might be mistaken but isn't Queen Maxima also wearing the Order of the Elephant?
