@mikkim11 Please don't speak of the Queen like that :(

@mikkim11 However this jubilee celebration was intended only for Scandinavian Royals/Presidents,we ll have to wait for the Golden Jubilee for a big bunch of royal guests i think.

@mikkim11 She does show up at events hosted by foreign royals in the UK like the wedding of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece or birthday party of Crown Prince of Yugoslavia in 1995. In the old days Queen Mother or Prince Charles represented the Queen on important occasions but now it s mostly the Wessexs which is rather odd as they r the most junior iwithin the Queens immediate family. it s too bad the Queen herself doesnt attend,sending her youngest son is almost a bit rude.

@mikkim11 I guess she finds her everyday tasks too important to be disturbed by such mondain events. This was true of most reigning British sovereigns with the exception of Queen Victoria and Edward VII. If I am not wrong the last time George V went abroad for a royal wedding was in 1913. The only time EIIR attended a funeral of a brother Sovereign was that of King Baudouin in 1993.

I also wonder why some younger member of the Brit royal family wasn't in attendance. Prince Edward perhaps. Maybe they weren't invited? Would love to see more of the church service as well.

I think she is actually way too busy after all her common wealth is bigger and therefore she has more events to do with her common wealth. She also the oldest too and from I understand has cut back from doing long travels and travels to places that concern her commonwealth and will be cutting down on that too as Prince Phillip (longest consort serving) and he is 90 and if I am accurate most of the other monarchs are in her succession line, I know both Frederick and Queen of Denmark are.

@jorgemir27 I have always wondered the same, because Kings and Queens from other countries attend to British events but not Lizzy II maybe she's just way too stuck-up and egotistical.

why do i never see the queen of england in these events? not there for weddings or anything
