I know that most of these pictures are well-known to our members, but there are some here that I haven't seen before so, not to break the sequence, I've decided to post them all

Hi, I want to start a thread for the pictures of the most Olympic Royal Family of all and their relations to the games.

I think it would be nice to start in 1960...

Have fun posting and remember to use image hosting services like Imageshack or Supload

Hey, with al respect, but the most Olympic royal family is the one whose king was an Olympic meddalist.
King Constantine ex of Greece had won the gold medal in sailing in the Olympics of 1960.
But if you consider him as a member of the spanish family with the broader meaning, that is ok

I say that the SRF is the most olympic family because 5 of its members have been part of their olympic teams and 3 of them have been flag-bearers so that's what I'm talking about: Royal Families as a whole

I'm not sure if you mean pictures only from the Olympics that family members have competed in , but if you didn't...

Here are just some from Athens 2004 (Cover and Polfoto)

All Olympic Games are welcome as long as they have pictures of the SRF
