Pick four royals for a dinner party w/you

[vkrish]

I would prefer a high testosterone-packed randy raunchy all-boys' nightout with..

1. HRH The Crown Prince of Norway
2. HRH The Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg
3. HRH The Duke of Cambridge
4. HH The Crown Prince of Dubai

..with all sorts of nasty and weird things guys do and talk when they are on high..

Number 1 would no doubt be Princess Anne. Even though she's just about 40 years older than me, just think of all we could talk about: Our experiences of being the only girl in the family, how we're both musical (we both sang in the choir during our school days; also she played the oboe, I played the clarinet), how we both hate celery, our love for animals (for me, cats, for her, horses), our "cottage" experiences, how we both have summer birthdays and that they're 17 days apart, and so on. I could go on forever! She could even give me some hair and makeup tips! Next would be the Queen and Kate, of course. Last, I would have Prince Andrew's daughters, because they're closer to my age. I know, that's 5 royals. But we could have a joint birthday party for Beatrice, Anne and myself. We do that in my family, because there are a lot of my family members whose birthdays are close together.

I'd probably go for the following royals (and I'm cheating a bit by counting pairs as one):

- Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip (although I'd probably be too intimidated to actually start a conversation with her)
- The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall
- Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie
- Princess Maxima

Other royals would probably include:
- Prince Harry
- Princess Anne
- Empress Farah
- The Countess of Wessex
- The Duchess of Gloucester
- Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia
- Queen Beatrix and Princess Mabel
- Prince and Princess Michael of Kent
- Princess Astrid and Archduke Lorenz
- The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
- Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and family
- Prince Georg Friedrich and Princess Sophie of Prussia
- Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit
- King Michael and Crown Princess Margareta of Romania
- Emperor Akihito, Empress Michiko, Princess Masako, Princess Kiko, Princesses Mako and Kako


Actually, I'd be pretty delighted to pick any 4 random royals to just chat about all the things about royalty that interest me.
Of course, by a chat I mean I talk, they are bored to death.

[Princess BellyFlop]

Can I have 4 one-on-one dinner with Haakon instead? Pleaeaeaease please please

[TomBert]

I'd go for an historic lineup:

Queen Victoria of Great Britain
Empress Eugenie of the French
King Chulalongkorn of Siam
Emperor Alexander II of Russia

[Meraude]

Deceased royals:
King George IV of the United Kingdom, aka as the Prince Regent
Empress Joséphine (de Beauharnais) of the French
Empress Catherine II (the Great) of Russia
King Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia

Most likely a dinner party filled with intelligent discussions and subjects such as architecture, art, music, philosophy (between Frederick and Catherine), roses and perhaps about the men in their lives (Catherine and Joséphine).

Mary for some Aussie down to earth banter, Prince Christian for cuteness, Wills for his views on the changing monarchy and Princess Michael of Kent for gossip!

Almost my choice but I'd replace Maxima with Pilar of Spain.

[Meraude]

Anne, Princess Royal
Princess Christina of Sweden
Princess Margriet of the Netherlands
Princess Astrid, Mrs Ferner

Four sisters of monarchs, or future monarchs, it would be interesting to hear if they would have wanted to be monarchs themselves, or if they are happy that they don't have to be the monarch.

[Dman]

If was putting a relaxed dinner party, I would most likely invite:
The Cambridges
The Phillips's
The Tindalls
The Yorks with Companions

If I was putting on a more formal affair, I would have to invite:
The Queen & Duke of Edinburgh
The Waleses
The Princess Royal & Sir Laurence
The Wessexes

[Molly2101]

I think I have done this before but I have an updated choice now!

Deceased:
Grand Duchess Olga
Grand Duchess Tatiana
Grand Duchess Maria
Grand Duchess Anastasia

Living:
The Countess of Wessex
Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor
Crown Princess Victoria
Crown Prince Haakon (just to add some handsome to the party.)

So a State Banquet then?

[Dman]

Although I think if I invited them all, my family and I would have a ball and so would the royals. We would be eating good southern style comfort food, singing & dancing, telling stories, laughing and just getting to know each other.

I think I would also invite the Middletons. I would love to see the stuff Pippa would come up with for the party.

Well, I think I could try to get Her Majesty & Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales & Duchess of Cornwall to loosen up a bit. I don't think I would have a problem with the Wessexes and Princess Anne & Tim.

Maybe I'm too into this family because I have actually had a couple of dreams that The Queen came to visit my home. She was so kind in my dream and took time to meet my family and friends. It was like she was a dear old friend of mines.

[KittyAtlanta]

HGDs Guillaume and Stephanie
HSHs Albert and Charlene

The invitations are for Sunday lunch.

[Lee-Z]

Queen Mary
Queen Alexandra
Tsarina Maria Feodorovna
...4th spot open for anyone interested

meal would be some little hors-d'ouvres and the dive head first into the jewelry collections of these ladies :-)

[emmalisa]

I would be honored by the presence of

Crown Princess Victoria
Crown Princess Mathilde
Crown Princess Masako
Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie

[NGalitzine]

^^^^
Given that 3 of your choices are dead I think you can cut back on the hors d'oevres order and just have the crystal ball on the table.

[kathia_sophia]

Ancient:
Nefertiti of Egypt
Esther, Queen of Macedonia
Alexander The Great
Queen Seon Deok of Silla

Deceased but not Ancient:
Empress Sisi of Austria
Princess Diana
Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands (i wish i could hear stories from her)
Princess Grace Kelly

and if one of them could not come, then...Hitler, always wanted to ask the man why so hatred, evil and greed?! (i know he's not royal but he did 'rule' somewhat)

State Dinner:
Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Rania of Jordan
Princess Lalla Salma
King Jigme Khesar of Bhutan
