I think we have to wait which royal members will receive an royal order and who not. Honestly i dont think W&C will receive an order, as much i remember also Princess Diana received no Order during the spanish state visit in 1986.
Does someone know BBC will broadcast any event of the state visit?.
UK coverage - some of what I wrote in another post here:
Getty Images will of course publish many videos and pictures, ITN SOURCE will also publish some videos, Daily Fail vill publish articles with many pictures and we may see some clips on BBC One/ITV television news.
But the big question (to me) is whether BBC News Channel (Launched 1997) and Sky News (Launched 1989) will have live coverage.
Coverage by BBC News Channel and Sky News on previous state visits:
State Visit from Japan in May 1998: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from China in October 1999: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from the United States in November 2003: Live coverage from the arrival at Buckingham Palace, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from China in November 2005: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from the United States in May 2011: Live coverage from the arrival at Buckingham Palace, the state banquet and other events.
State Visit from Ireland in April 2014: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
State visit from China in October 2015: Live coverage from the carriage procession, the state banquet and other events.
There was also live coverage on the Internet for the American, Irish and Chinese state visits in 2011, 2014 and 2015.
Other state visits: Nothing, and I think (unfortunately) that BBC/Sky will not see Spain as important enough to have live coverage.
And that has nothing to do with the palace allowing it or not - When the Norwegian royal family visited the UK in 2005, Norwegian television sent live from the events, and the coverage was generaly very large. In the UK? Nothing at all.
