I think it's clear that W&M didn't really recognize Daniel or Carl Philip because honestly they probably don't know each other. not acceptable!!!! Yes, Daniel attended William's wedding but there were something like 2000 guests so even if they met there is was probably very quickly and it was his wedding day I'm sure there was far too much to take in. William has never been in royal circles.
Although he doesn't often go to foreign Royal events, Prince Charles is well known and liked in Royal circles. He often invites foreign royal to Highgrove (during his Royal Visit to Sweden last April and he met Victoria and Daniel !!!

Sorry but every royal attending this Olympics, except Anne, Frederik, Albert and GD Henri are there unofficially to enjoy the games. The BRF have no duty, they hosted a welcome reception before the games, and will probably host something private at the end. I see no job for them to do.
Just spotted Danish CP Frederik passing out the medals at mens track cycling.
To me this is quite a serious issue. The duty of the British royals was also to be prepared for the visit of other royal houses athe OG, that is part of their job, and NOT just concentrate on their British interests!!! and this even if other royals are there to support competitors to their national athlets!! ie here Zara Philips.
We have however to be bear in mind that the photos we see do not represent the whole event; they may well have greeted each other when arriving, and after that go back to their own interests. There on Lithekuva a picture which shows that Daniel is preparing for shaking hands with someone, but we cannot see whom.
The wedding of Victoria and Daniel has been sufficiently advertised worldwide for them to know who Daniel is.
The rather cold relationship between the British and Swedish royals had been mentioned repeatedly, just think of their poor representation at the wedding in Stockholm. I heard about some disappointment that they had not been able to raise the "interest" of Carl Gustav towards princess Anne some 40 years go...
I thought this thread was about the royals who were attending the London Olympics, not about the real or imagined slights of members of the BRF towards foreign royals or their supposed obligations to host them at every venue. Apparently not.

You are probably right. In this particular case I believe William and Harry simply didn't recognice Daniel and Carl Phillip.
As the younger British royals, as far as I know, are not in the habit of mingling with the younger continental royals they would know, let alone recognice, only a few. Probably with the exception of the various CP-couples.
That subject has been debated before and I still think it's the BRF's loss, as the continental royals benefit a lot from knowing other and exchanging experiences from others in the same situation. - Not least those who marry into royal families benefit a lot.
I can only agree full-heartedly here.
In addition, it's not like there were a few hundred reigning European Royal Houses left to keep track of; the Swedish Princes are actually equal respectively higher in rank than the young Waleses; and in this situation, their warm greeting by the Wessexes could hardly be missed from only a few feet away.
For them to literally look in the opposite direction is hard to justify and impolite no matter how you try to explain it.
They hardly know each other, I would imagine it is rather uncomfortable for all parties involved that they are supposed to pretend some sort of 'kinship'....kinda like when you have relatives that you've seen twice in your life, it's always awkward.

totally agree with you!I am pretty sure the Swedish, Dutch or any other royals would behave in a more friendly way! No, hosting a reception does not make them free from elementary politeness at other moments.
Prince Charles @Charles_HRH
It's so lovely to see the younger Royals watching the Olympics. We were very lucky in the ticket ballots.
Hmmm.... William, Harry and Kate are 30 years old generally between them - when do they grow up? They are royal - dollars to donuts they know who other royals look like. How could they not?

I just saw an image on AlphaPress of Sophie taking a photo of Catherine who had her phone in her hand, and it looked like they were taking a photo of each other. Amusing. (On a side note, all the Royals were promoting Apple with their iPhones as Catherine and Sophie both whipped theirs out.)
shes probably breastfeeding, but i would love to see them, its a pity indeedBTW - I know there is a baby at home, but I wonder why Victoria did not attend, even for a day or two. Sweden's not that long an air-hop away. Would have liked to have seen her - especially with the baby.
