Thanks for the wonderful pictures so far, everyone! I honestly hope with the guestlist of the many royal guests, they would stick around and participate in all the events, but what can we do?
The Luxembourg GD Family looks very great. Alexandra is turning to be a such beautiful princess, while her brothers are becoming handsome young mans (if not already). Maria-Teresa looks fabulous in all the events, as do the Grand Duke.
It's great to see Grand Duke Jean to still have high spirited life, and miggling with his family.

It would be a miracle if Prince William was there; he´s doing it like his granny:
never go abroad for a foreign royal event. Why? Really can´t answer it.

Other royal youngsters start their official duties when they come of age
(with breaks for studying or for the army), but Britain seems to be, like so often, different.:(
I think it would be more and more important for William to mingle with his
continental counterparts for he has to "deal" with them in later times...

No pictures of the swedish royal couple last night? Was the king and queen not attend, why?

Well, this is nothing new about her - she always looked, at least in the last 10 years, let´s be polite, "a little excentric"...
This outfit reminds me of a domina mistress, only the whip is missing

This appearance is, IMO, embarrasing to her parents, the royal guests
and for herself!

I was thinking the same thing. It's weird.

Maxie · #**271** 07-02-2006, 04:48 AM

Yes, i definetely is weird. Last night I was thinking: well, when I get up in the morning we'll get to see some pics, but no. I'm missing Mary too, btw. :(

Yes, it is very strange. I have thought that probably since they will have been the last ones to come their photos they have not put them still. Normally, I believe that the most important persons come the last ones, not to have to wait. Because of it the Kings and the Princes inheritors would be the last ones to come. It can be that the Belgians were coming first, after the ducal family because they are a very direct family.

On the Princes of Asturias, their absence would be strange and a bit worrying, because it would mean, that there was a problem of last hour that it prevented them from travelling. The own Prince, the list that has appeared on the guests, and the Agency Efe in this note of yesterday to the midday (state agency of news Spanish which covers all the information of the Royal House) mentioning sources of the own Royal House has confirmed the trip.

So there will be necessary to expect for the photos from everything the lost ones.

I'm beginning to doubt whether they attend the gala dinner at all. It seems kinda strange because we see the Belgian RF arriving together (but no Astrid & Lorenz), and the Netherlands are represented (with Margriet & Pieter), and the Spanish too (Elena & Jaime). It would be strange if the other royals we haven't seen arriving separately & not with the family. The press coverage is not as big as i might've thought.
I wonder whether Haakon, Carl Gustaf & Silvia only attend the 1st day.

On the bright side, at least even though the gala dinner is held at their home, the Grand Ducal Family made an appearance.

lula · #**274** 07-02-2006, 05:13 AM

Sincerely, I believe that the photos not been placed, because many and all confirmees are absent

I think there will be an official portrait as 5 Years ago...so we will see if Mary, Letizia etc. were there.

Dressed like a princess, Mary is all style

Crown Princess Mary left her eight-month-old son, Prince Christian, at home while she stepped out in style at a regal European reception this week.
With her handsome husband, Crown Prince Frederik, by her side, the Tasmanian-born Danish royal attended the 25th wedding anniversary celebrations on Friday night for Luxembourg's Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.
