It has happened, but I don't think it's a matter of routine.Does this happen with foreign monarchs too?

I caught that too...it was barely a curtsey, I suppose the effort counts though.

No one does it like the British RF
I'm surprised by the coverage, really.The Sky News Helicopter has followed them all the way from Clarence House.
I fully agree! I love these deep scandinavian curtseys or the one done by Theresa May today when meeting the Queen!
I guess Camilla can´t manage to go down much deeper anymore. She´s way not that fit like her in-laws used to be at her age, or her husband!
I agree! With exception of US, Chinese and the Japanese/Irish state visits, I've never seen anything like this.I'm surprised by the coverage, really.

I believe that King Filipe's Order of the Garter is a bit different. He is what is called a Stranger Knight and I'm not sure if there is an installation for this.
Along with the 24 Knights of the Order of the Garter, there are also two orders of 'extra' knights - the Royal Knights and Ladies, which currently include Prince Andrew and Prince William, and Stranger Knights and Ladies, among them the Queen of Denmark and Harald V of Norway.
It would be nice to see Filipe and Letizia back the UK though in 2018 to attend though
I'm very surprised/pleased about it, and we don't see anything like this for state visits in other countries, not even in Norway/Denmark.It is absolutely superb coverage. Live on both the BBC and Sky now. I can't wait for the State Banquet tonight! I wasn't expecting anywhere near this level of coverage.
A second thought! His Majesty's address to parliament is very good, but awfully long!
Yes, A good speech.Marvellous speech
I also liked the witty Bercow and the other gentleman.
