The King and Queen of Spain with the Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg
November 11th 2014, Luxembourg
The royal couple's mid morning arrival in Luxembourg saw them welcomed to the country by the heir to the throne, Guillaume, in incessant drizzle. The queen's curls began to droop in the damp conditions and by the time the three had reached the Ducal Palace, to meet Grand Duke Henri, Letizia's hair was wavy.
