I believe that James Wolfensohn (former world bank president) is a friend of the family. He and his wife Elaine attended the wedding of the prince of Orange (among other things).

It seems that the Grand DUchess of Luxembourg cancelled, as she was supposed to attend the meeting too (according to the RVD at least, not sure what the court of Luxembourg said).
 
Thanks for sharing your story (and the pictures) on the blog! Nice that both Victoria as Astrid took time to talk to the people in the public.
 
Thank you for the beautiful pictures of the princesses. I have Maria Theresa and Haya sadly mist !!
