The official guest list of the funeral listed her and the Countess Mountbatten of Burma as private guests which might indicate a personal link with the Grand Ducal family or with the late Grand Duke Jean (I'm not sure they attended Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte's funeral).
I believe then Queen Beatrix missed the wedding ceremony of the then Price of Asturias to attended the one of Lady Elizabeth's daughter (she attended the pre-wedding banquet though).
I believe Lady Elizabeth was also the organiser of Crown Prince Pavlos's wedding in London as well as the pre-wedding dinner of the Duke of Cambridge (she warmly greeted Queen Margrethe with two kisses when HM arrived at the venue).
with a number of Royal houses (as did her late brother the Earl of Lichfield), not just with her cousin Queen Elizabeth II.
She has attended events in Norway in recent years and is known to be close to the former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
She acted as Queen Beatrix's bridesmaid and quite a few years back there was a show on UK TV about her daughter's wedding and Queen Beatrix was a guest at the wedding, the only royal guest I could identify.
