Two days ago Prince Lorenz and Princess Astrid hosted a large dinner party with about 200 or 300 guests, followed by dances, in the manor farm they have rent in Gallipoli for their holiday. The article suggests it was a birthday party, although it isn't known who was the birthday boy.

Did the Italian press figure out the reason for the party or who was the birthday boy/girl? So far all the articles I read are talking about a birthday party, just like the article you posted. But somehow I find that a bit unlikely since there are no real milestone birthdays in this family other than Amedeo's 25th birthday almost 6 months ago and 200 guests doesn't sound like a ordinary party.
BTW where any guests identified by the press?

[MAfan]

I didn't find much more informations; actually most of the sources I've checked have all them published the same article linked in my previous post.
I really don't know what was the occasion for the party, nor who was (if there was one) the birthday boy/girl, nor who were the guests.
