A couple of items that jumped out – the Danish royal family will only be represented by HM Queen Margarethe II. The Prince Consort will not join her, nor will the Crown Prince and Princess who, one would assume, need to stay home with their infant twins. Royal watchers will be excited to see HRH Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco, she too will be coming without her husband King Mohammad V. On the other end of the spectrum, the King of Swaziland will be in there, he is the subject of ongoing controversy. While his country is impoverished, he continues to live in luxury. TRH Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal will be on hand, but of note is that they are bringing their eldest son Prince Constantine. Prince William is Constantine’s godfather.
