Lovely: the Order of the Garter for the Duchess of Gloucester, one of the unsung heroes of the British Royal Family.
Well deserved!

Happy 6th Birthday, Prince Louis! 🎂

Thank you for all the kind wishes today.

The Queen has paid her first visit to The Royal Lancers in North Yorkshire, since becoming their Colonel-in-Chief.

The Lancers lie close to Her Majesty's heart as her father, Major Bruce Shand, served in the Regiment during the Second World War.

The Norwegian Court has announced 'a permanent reduction in the number and scope of activities' of 87-year-old King Harald V, who resumed his work today after almost two months of sick leave.

The King will not abdicate in favour of his son Crown Prince Haakon.

🇳🇴

Happy 17th birthday to Princess Isabella, the eldest daughter and second child of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark.

🇧🇪🇱🇺 STATE VISIT FROM LUXEMBOURG TO BELGIUM IS OVER

😘 “Au revoir!” Bye bye! Queen Mathilde receives a hug (and later an air kiss) from Grand Duchess María Teresa and a kiss on the hand from Grand Duke Henri.

The Princess of Orange curtseys to King Felipe VI of Spain on the last evening of the Spanish state visit to the Netherlands. 🇪🇸🇳🇱

Until today, the spouse of a monarch always received the Grand Cross of the Order of the Netherlands Lion during state visits to or from the Netherlands.

Queen Letizia of Spain is the exception.

However, then Crown Princess Mary of Denmark did receive it.

This is so messy.

Queen Letizia has received the Grand Cross of the Order of the Gold Lion of Nassau instead of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Netherlands Lion (like her husband). That is so strange.
