“A big mistake like this one shouldn’t happen during such an important State visit, where everything should be carefully planned.”

The Swedish press also explained the royals should be aware of where they are and “especially Queen Letizia”.

“She panicked and tried to save the situation so her handbag wouldn’t be the centre of attention,” they said.

The fact that Queen Letizia dropped her handbag during a photocall and then collected her belongings from the floor hasn’t been seen as a positive move by the Swedish.
