Although the state visits are usually undertaken to strengthen the bilateral relationships between two counties and that will also be the purpose of this state visit. Spanish and Danish Kingdoms have much more personal relationship beyond the formal relations of two nations. Spanish King Felipe VI and Danish Queen Margrethe II are descendants of British Queen Victoria and Danish King Christian IX. Queen Margrethe II’s younger sister, Anne-Marie, is the widow of King Felipe’s maternal uncle, King Constantine II of Greece – brother of Queen Sofia (Felipe’s mother).
