Princess Beatrix attended also queen Fabiola's funeral and is a perfect choice as when the King and Queen have other engagements.

What I also would like to know: will the Grand Duke be buried or cremated?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I read somewhere that his late wife, Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte, was cremated and that her ashes are placed in the Royal Vault in the Notre Dame Cathedral of Luxembourg.

It seems that Princess Esmeralda is not able to make it to her brother-in-law's funeral. Did she attend the funeral of Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte?

Around 17.30 the King and Queen Máxima are expected at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. Around 18.00 the members of the Comité 4 and 5 May as well other authorities are welcomed in the Royal Palace. At 18.30 the National Remembrance starts, culminating in the wreathlaying at 20.00 o'clock.
It is not impossible to do both the State Funeral in Luxembourg and the National Remembrance in Amsterdam, but I understand the choice for Princess Beatrix, the Duke and the Duchess of Parma. With this the former head of the House of Orange-Nassau plus the head of the House Bourbon-Parma go to the State Funeral. And no stress about a tight time schedule.

I suppose you are right & it would be a tight schedule. The national remembrance is one of the most important events of the year so a risk of running late is perhaps best avoided.

I hope there will also be members of the Royal Families of Germany and Bulgaria. I am happy that all the royal families reigning in Europe will be represented.

Most likely. And perhaps also Karl Von Habsburg and/or members from his family. His grandmother Empress Zita and Grand Duke Jeans father Prince Felix were siblings...

That's really quite an impressive guest list, and I am certain it's not even complete.
I was surprised to read that the 17 year old Duchess of Brabant is accompanying her parents. I had thought she was back at school in Wales?

As the funeral is held on a Saturday, she may be available over the day or the weekend.

Pretty sure that from the Habsburgs at last the mother and the siblings of Archduke Carl Christian will attend. But likely more. No Idea if AD Karl will be invited as he did not attend the wedding in 2012. There where members of all the younger sons of Emperor Karl but only the Otto line was not represented then.

It's embarrassing. What on Earth is wrong with Charlene that she can't EVER mix with other royals?

Thank you for compiling this guestlist. 
Belgium - Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz are HRH rather than HIRH. A recent example from the Belgian monarchy's homepage:
Concours Reine Elisabeth – Violon 2019
30 avril 2019 (Jour entier) - 06 juin 2019 (Jour entier)
[…]
Leurs Altesses Royales la Princesse Astrid et le Prince Lorenz assisteront à une session de la finale le vendredi 24 mai 2019 au Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles.
https://www.monarchie.be/fr/agenda/c...th-violon-2019
(Translation: Their Royal Highnesses Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz will attend a session of the finals of the finals on Friday, May 24 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.)
Denmark/Greece - Anne-Marie would be representing Denmark only, as Greece stripped their former royal family of their status and considers them to be private citizens.

Queen Anne-Marie would be there as a representative of the Royal House of Greece not as a representative of Denmark.

That may be her point of view. The point I was trying to make was that only Denmark, not Greece, recognizes her husband's house as "Royal".
To add to my previous comment, the Belgian crown princess is known as HRH Princess Elisabeth or HRH Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant. https://www.monarchie.be/en/royal-fa...ess-of-brabant

Thanks Hans-Rickard!
And add to the list and Prince Louis, Duke of Anjou:
"Louis de Bourbon, Duc d’Anjou
@louisducdanjou
J'assisterai aux funérailles d'État de mon cousin, le Grand-Duc Jean de Luxembourg et le confie à vos prières ainsi que sa famille."
"I will attend the state funeral of my cousin, Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg, and entrust him to your prayers and his family."
