How great is to see Prince Leka starting to mingle with other royalty more often. I had no idea he had any sort of close contacts with the Luxembourgish Grand Ducal Family. And that's quite an impress British delegation: the Princess Royal, the Duke & Duchess of Gloucester, the Countess Mountbatten of Burma and Lady Elizabeth Shakerley.
Surprisingly it seems Empress Farah of Iran and the Serbian Crown Princely couple were absent. Also, no one from Japan (recent abdication and accession), Thailand (coronation this weekend) or the Arab monarchies (Jordan as the exception).
The lady indeed is Penelope Mountbatten. I mentioned, but made a mistake to name her Pamela, which is her aunt by marriage.
Next to Prince Leka are sitting the Duke and Duchess of Arenberg, son of Princess Sophie of Bavaria, only remaining first cousin of Grand Duke Jean.
Isn't that lady Penelope Knatchbull, Countess Moutbatten of Burma?
The gentleman next to Queen Anne-Marie of Greece if the former Portuguese President Aníbal Cavaco Silva.
I believe the gentleman behind the Duchess of Braganza is Prince Leka of Albania. Not sure if his wife Princess Elia is next to him.
Next to Princess Lea of Belgium is:
X
Lady Elizabeth Anson
Margareta of Romania
X arrived with the Brits, and she looks familiar but I just can’t remember her name.
Thank you, Marianne, for these first pictures
At www.wort.lu there are a couple more

HM Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands
HRH The Princess Anne of the United Kingdom of GB and NI, Princess Royal
