To take a page out of Cyril's book. What do we think the chances are of Andrew being the representative of the BRF at the coronation of King Rama X? To me, he seems the logical choice.

For a coronation I'd expect Charles and Camilla. Normally would be the heir.

But if not, Andrew is a good possibility. Usually I would say it would be Edward and Sophie as they usually get sent to the foreign events, but Andrew was the one who attended the late king's funeral.
 
Interesting that Andrew was in Bahrain just before the Grand Prix there, I assume they have tied it in together with a visit? I wonder if Sarah and Beatrice travelled with him as they too were pictured at the race.
 
This is an almost annual thing for Andrew - to go to the Grand Prix. Yes he was in Bahrain last week. He often does two or three days of engagements in a country in the week before an event like the Grand Prix or a major golf tournament and then will do a couple more days of engagements in that country or move to another overseas country. Sometimes the sporting event will also be in the CC as an official engagement for him. I haven't seen the CC for the 31st March yet so don't know if that will be the case this year.
