I suppose they will spend a few days at the Summer Olympics in Paris that takes place between 26 July - 11 August… Maybe they have planned to spend the later part of their summer holiday at Chateau de Cayx in connection with that…

Lovely to see that Gråsten will be kept as the main ”Summer Residence” and that both the King and Queen as well as Queen Margrethe and Princess Benedikte will spend time there…

I agree… I would have loved to hear the ceremony from start to finish instead of hearing 3 journalists who didn’t even know the names of the people who were there, pretending to be ”experts”… They should at least have brought in Roger Lundgren, or someone who knew what they was talking about…...

I’m sure it is a consequence of each royal patronage lasting for only 5 years at a time. Then the organisations that wants to keep a royal patron will have to apply again… The new system (wich is already implemented in Norway) gives room for more organisations getting a time-limited royal...

Yes. ”Kungliga Majestäts Orden” (Orders of His Majesty The King) is the name of the Central Chancery that administrates the 4 Swedish Royal Orders of Knighthood and the medals that the King awards.

The appointment of royals (stranger knights and ladies) have for a very long time always been announced in connection with a state visit in either direction…. But as the Order of the Garter, Order of the Thistle, Order of Merit, Royal Victorian Chain, and the Royal Victorian Order is the...

He will definitely be a recipient of the Grand Cross Commander insignia of the Order of Dannebrog… Though i wonder if he will get the insignia that belonged to the late King Constantine ? Or maybe Margrethe’s insignia after she passes… I don’t think Crown Prince Pavlos will recive his late...

It likely depends on if she will make her coronation dress her standard go to dress for the State Openings too…. If she does, then we likely won’t see much change as there is not many other necklace’s than the diamond collet’s that works with it….. QEII’s South African Necklace maybe

Probably another delay… A shame really but given how political state visits are nowdays, and the obvious chance of a new political majority in UK it might be risky to negotiate new trade deals and sign political cooperations with the outgoing government…

With today’s announcement of a general election to be held on Thursday 4 July, we can probably expect a State Opening of Parliament to be held a couple of weeks later… I guess Queen Camilla will most likely wear the George IV State Diadem like the last time… If there is a change i guess it will...

If the non-titled Peter Phillips and the Tindall’s can be there, i think it’s very likely that the nobility-titled Louise and James may also attend down the line… But as Louise is at St Andrews University and James at Radley College, it will probably be a while.

The title of Unicorn Pusivant of Arms in Ordinary has been a scottish title since 1381.

Yes that sounds plausible that he may attend something if his health of the day allows for it, but that another member of the RF is announced as the main guest, so there will be little difference and still a royal presence if the Duke of Kent would have to cancel for health reasons

It makes me a bit worried that the Duke of Kent won’t take part in anything, given his long background in the British Army and always having been a regular at military related events up until very recently…. He’s the only member of the royal family apart from the King to hold a military 5-star...

Lady Gabriella often attended social gatherings like Chelsea Flower Show, Trooping and Ascot before… It would be lovely to see her there again, and i think it would be good for her to get out among people again, in well known and controlled spaces… She seems to be a very nice person and have a...
