Oman State Visit to Spain

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain are hosting Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman on a State Visit to Spain to strengthen political, economic, and diplomatic ties, from November 3rd to the 5th. The State Visit had been postponed earlier the year due to the death of the Sultan’s mother-in-law.

In the morning, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia officially welcomed  Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman in an Official Welcome Ceremony in the courtyard of the Royal Palace in Madrid. During the ceremony, the King and Sultan reviewed a battalion of the Royal Guard and viewed a parade.

 Later, the King and Queen hosted a luncheon for the Sultan of Oman at the Palace of La Zarzuela, following a meeting between the King and the Sultan.

In the evening, King Felipe and Queen Letizia held a State Banquet in honour of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said at the Royal Palace of Madrid.

Queen Letizia wore Queen Maria Cristina’s Loop Tiara and Queen Victoria Eugenie’s Diamond Earrings with the Collar of the Order of Oman.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
