[Pre-wedding Dinner] The Men of the Hour #royalwedding

Prince Albert II of Monaco. He is getting thinner, isn't he? Pre-Wedding fever for him!

I wish I knew how to make a joke about the Prince of Asturias, but I can't. Felipe is just THE handsome of the bunch.

Crown Prince Pavlos - wearing a power balance wristband! - in a hurry

The Duke of York catching an imaginary ball.

The Grand Duke felt a little something something in his belly. But recomposed.

Crown Prince Alexander II of Yugoslavia left the building singing.

Prince of Wales. No joke.

Duke of Västergötland has a pocket full of sunshine.

[Pre-wedding Dinner] Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall

Duchess Camilla was looking good! Simple yet classy.

They left the Gala early and had supper with Prince William and Prince Harry back at Clarence House.

I could not find a picture of her daughter and fiancé, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall. If I do, I will update the post.

[Pre-wedding Dinner] The Yorks: Andrew, Eugenie and Beatrice

I love Eugenie's dress - a Vivienne Westwood black gown - it flatters her figure tremendously. This was a terrific choice!

I also liked Beatrice's dress. It was a breath of fresh (and young) air given to the party.

Now, onto the family of the groom: Prince Edward and Countess Sophie, the super trooper!

The Countess of Wessex was a real trooper: she broke her rib on Monday, while horseback riding. I do not know how many painkillers she had to take, but she still attended the Pre-Wedding Dinner with her husband, Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex. Sophie had a bit of a hard time while walking but she had her Edward's arm to hold on to. And she sure did not forget to smile!

The happy meeting of Prince and Princess of Kent, Lady Gabriella Windsor and the Greek Royal Family

Now here are two families that are really close: the Kents, their daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor and the Greek royal family. They all greeted and cheered with each other as they arrived to the Pre-Wedding Gala.

Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece and his wife, Princess Marie-Chantal squeezing each others' hands. For more photos of the couple, click here.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, looking quite different from her sister, Queen Margrethe of Sweden.

When I first saw Princess Tatiana's dress, I was afraid it was too revealing cleavage-wise and did not like it as much as I usually enjoy her fashion choices. And then I saw the back...
