The carriage carrying the Spanish Royal Couple and Queen Margrethe has been dusted off, the Guards are practising La Marcha Real (I hope they speed it up, it's much too slow), and the banquet is being prepared for the evening of November 6. I have a sneaking suspicion that HM Queen Letizia will be wearing a long gown and a tiara

The couple will stay at Fredensborg Castle during their visit and, true to tradition, write their names on glass panes which will then be placed in one of the windows of Fredensborg.
