On the second day of their state visit to Vietnam, the Danish Royals were officially welcomed to the Presidential Palace in Hanoi by President Nguyen Minh Triet and his wife Tran Thi Kim Chi. Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik were joined on this trip by Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary.
Danish Queen Margrethe and Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet (L) reviewed an honor guard at the grounds of the Presidential Palace. During the ceremony, Princess Mary had trouble with the hat she was wearing, and even had to take it off lost it at one point. I imagine it must have been a windy day in the city.
After the welcome ceremony, the Queen , Prince Henrik, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary spent the day visiting various establishments in and around the city. Among these was a company that makes Danish flags and a Bang & Olufsen shop.
The royals also laid a wreath at the Monument for National Heroes and at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.
That evening, the royals were guests at the State Banquet hosted by the Vietnamese President. Photos of that to follow after this post!
