Cool The Royals, Olympic Champions?

Hi, Do you know which royals have participated at the Olympic Games (Summer and Winter)?, because I have found the following:
Juan Carlos, Sofía, Cristina, Iñaki and Felipe of Spain
Konstantinos of Greece (Olympic Gold Medal sailing 1960)
I heard a rumor about Anne the Princess Royal, but I'm not very sure
does anybody know about the dutch, danish or the other royal families?, because everybody seems to be very sporty...

if this has been asked in another thread:o I ask the moderator to move it there and please notify me about the change. Thanks

King Olav, then Crown Prince Olav, participated in sailing the Summer Olympics in Amsterdam and won a gold medal in the 1920s.

Prince Albert have participated in several winter olympics, in bob-sled. Hasn't he?

So is Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. She was an alternate for the last Danish Olympic Equestrian (Dressage) team.

I don't know about the Olympic Trials but I do know ML jumped horses internationally.

Princess Haya of Jordan was on Jordan's Equestrian team in Sydney.
