A Royal Review

King Philippe's second trip out of Belgium is to Denmark, which coincidently was his first trip as well, another foreign trip has been added to the November Calendar, Crown Prince Frederik delivered a Brain Prize, King Harald celebrated a Norwegian University, King Felipe met women leaders who are visiting Spain this week, and King Carl Gustaf delivered medals to Dairy Farmers.

In a weekend that was a bit light on events, there was a lot of confusion, about both dates of when things actually were happening and even who was in attendance at said events.

3 days worth of events and all the anecdotes to share from those days including the cutest surprise for Infanta Sofïa, a laureate going to far in her speech, and so much more
