NEW ARRANGEMENTS
KING AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE
The decision of the King to have a portion of the Belgian Suite of apartments at Buckingham Palace converted for his personal use in future, leaves the Palace without a guest suite of adequate proportion for the entertaining of State visitors of the first importance, says a writer in "The Queen." It is not the intention of his Majesty that this shall continue, to be the case, arid in due course an entirely new suite is likely to be provided for this purpose. It will probably be on the opposite side of the Palace to the Belgian Suite. There will be so many foreign Royal visitors and other notabilities visiting London next year for the Coronation celebrations that it'will be very difficult indeed for all to bo accommodated in the Royal Palaces. Who shall stay at Buckingham Palace is a matter that is not likely to be decided until the list;of those coming over is complete. It may- bepointed out, however, that it is contrary to etiquette for. one Sovereign to attend the crowning of another, so this rules out the King and Queen of Norway who may, however, visit their nephew later next year. They will be represented at the Coronation by the Crown Prince and Princess, with whom the King is' on very friendly terms.
