Royals and the 2008 Olympic Games
as most of you will know, this year's summer olympics take place in beijing, from the 8-24 august. i opened a thread in 2004 to see which royals were going to attend the games and post pictures or information, which you can see here: Athens Olympics
do we have any news at this stage?

The Norwegian court announced (after some prodding from the media) that the King and Queen, as well as the Crown Prince would attend the games.
From Denmark, CP Frederik will attend.

From England at least Princess Anne would come, i am sure. And maybe the Duchess of Cornwall might as well.

Crown Prince Frederik's going, even though there was lots of talk about him not, because its being held in Beijing and there's controversy, etc.

Princess Nora vuz Liechtenstein is on the IOC so I suspect she and some members of the Liechtenstein princely family will be there, though they will likely go unnoticed.

Are the Spanish Royals going this year? I remember seeing pictures of all of them-down to little Juan Valentin, at the Olympics in years past. Or was that just because Cristina's husband was on the Spanish handball team?

I think royal families will go to the Olympics since most royals are sportsman and they will most likely cheer for their athletes.
