Are KA amd Q Rania, or any members of the JRF attending the Danish Royal wedding (CP Frederik and Mary Donaldson) tomorrow, May 14th. I see that CP Felipe of Spain and Letizia Ortiz have already made an appearance in Copenhagen. Are any members of the JRF attending CP Felipe's and Letizia's wedding?

I can't imagine letting photographers in my hospital room!

I didn't see any of the Jordanian Royals on the guest list for Cp Frederik and Mary Donaldson's wedding today in Copenhagen. I guess they declined the invitation, or were not invited at all. I gather we won't see any of the Danish Royals at CP Hamzah's wedding. Not that I hold it against them. I admire the Danish Royals. They certainly conduct themselves better than the British Royals.

I highly doubt that the Danish royals would not invite the Jordanian royals to the Crown Princely wedding. I hink that in all likelihood the Jordanian royals were invited but for some reason (previous commitments) could not attend the wedding.

And just because there was no Jordanian presence at the Danish wedding doesn't mean that any of the Danish royals would snub the Jordanians royals by not attending their Crown Princely wedding if schedules allow. That would seem very childish and petty. And I think that both families are much above that childish behaviour.

Most of the times -if not all-, the list of guests to royal weddings is kept secret for security reasons until last minute

I saw the list of guests to the Danish wedding in the LTR under the Danish forum, i did not see the names of any JRF members..Either they were not invited at all..or the list has only names of those who confirmed their attendance..

Here's a picture of her from today where you can see her stomach. I can see where one might think she is. That would explain why her face looks fuller in some of these recent photos.
