Queen Margrethe was in the right place, as was Sweden, but Norway should have been to their right.
I think what messed them up was the uneven number of people from each country. With three from from Netherlands, and four from Spain, the correct order would have meant breaking up delegations between the rows. IF they had stuck to 2 per country it would have worked perfectly:
R1: Denmark, Sweden, Norway
R2: Netherlands, Belgium, Spain
R3: Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco
R4: Greece, Romania, Serbia
Another option would have been 8-seat rows, which would have required shorter rows for the former household members in the next section.
Oh well, they worked with they had, I guess.
I am trying to figure out what order it was done in...maybe longestvreigning European royals ( from the right)? I was surprised to see the Emperor of Japan so far back TBH.
