The couple's personal views on this matter are largely of no importance. For the Constitution there is only one King and this whole ceremony is precizely for that person alone. In Belgium Queen Paola was not even on the dais when King Albert was sworn in (she was seated besides the dais). In Denmark the Prince Consort was not on the balcony when Queen Margrethe II was proclaimed by the Prime Minister. That was constutionally very clear and symbolic. I think the new Queen will understand this and not go overboard with wearing big diamond bonbonellas at lunchtime.
