…as were foreign royal guests, including Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie of Greece, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Crown Princess Maxima of The Netherlands, the Prince of Asturias, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
Does Queen Silva and than Crown Princess Maxima ( now Queen Maxima) wear the same dress? They look very alike to me.
Ha ha! They do look the same! That would have been awkward, especially as it was one of Maxima’s first royal events, months before her own wedding!
I Think Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby was a extraordinary bride
