The King and Queen of Spain are still in Japan on a State Visit! It ends on November 14th. Infanta Cristina and Inaki Undargarin were photographed entering BP. (No label from the British photo agency who probably didn't know who they were!) CP Haakon also arrived later, he had an official engagement earlier in the evening, it was on the Norwegian royal calendar.
