The idea for showing this movie came from
The Cross of Laeken who showed the funeral of King Umberto II of Italy, husband of Princess Marie-Jose of Belgium. They show the royal figures of around the world who came to the funeral of King Baudouin. I saw the Crown Prince of Italy though I don't think they point him out and I think they made a mistake confusing the Crown Princess of Sweden with the Queen of Sweden.
The Queen was there?! I'm shocked. I thought the Queen never attended royal weddings or funerals on the continent. Glad to see it but, wow, that's rare. She must have had a great deal of respect for King Baudouin because I've never heard of another such case. Usually the Prince of Wales or Prince Edward is sent to such occasions.
