May 18, 1935
The AP reports that King Leopold III and Queen Astrid have arrived in Stockholm for the forthcoming wedding of Astrid's cousin, Princess Ingrid to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark.
The Belgian couple's arrival inaugurated a week of royal wedding events in Sweden's capital. The "drizzling rain" did not deter the festivities as they were "received with acclaim as a line of prancing horses, resplendent uniforms and gilded carriages escorted them from the railway station to the royal palace."
They "braved the rain to ride in open six horse carriages," with Life Guard escorts.
Tonight, the couple will be the guest of honor at a dinner at the royal palace. Tomorrow, Crown Prince Frederik will arrive in Stockholm and will attend a lunch in his honor given by King Leopold and Queen Astrid at the Belgian legation.
