gudinde Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks to Stig at SRMB who posted this link to information about the schedule for the Memorial Service: http://wittgenstein-berleburg.net/2017/03/18/further-information-and-schedule-for-the-memorial-service-of-prince-richard-zu-sayn-wittgenstein-berleburg/ The castle chapel has been open over the weekend so that people could come and mourn the passing of Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. For logistical and security reasons access to the church will be limited on Tuesday to close relatives and friends and invited guests. Over 400 national and international guests and high-level representatives are expected to attend the service. http://wittgenstein-berleburg.net/2017/03/18/police-limits-access-to-church-in-bad-berleburg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mls Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Lots of royals attending: The entire DRF, Queen Silvia and Princess Madeleine (PB's goddaughter), Princess Märtha-Louise for Norway. Who else? The Dutch are represented but I'm not sure who is attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudinde Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 There is speculation that Princess (retired Queen) Beatrix of the Netherlands will be there, as well as King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, but that's not confirmed. Queen Margethe & Princess Benedikte's younger sister Queen Anne Marie will be there of course, presumably with some of her family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's already out there and it's not the first one. But I think BB could have let them be. There will be enough of more "official" photos for them to print of guests and royals arriving to and from church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudinde Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 A clarification. The photos of the coffin I posted above were taken in the castle chapel, before it was moved this morning to the church. The following are taken in the Evagelist State Church this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudinde Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The wreaths around the coffin can be seen more clearly in high res. The heart at the base of the coffin has Benedikte on the ribbon. The purple and gold wreath is from Gustav and Carina. The soft blue floral wreath is from Alexandra and Jefferson The pink floral wreath is from Nathalie and Alexander. The red heart below those two has the names of all Richard and Benedikte's grandchildren: Richard, Ingrid, Constantine and Louisa. Wreaths from the Prince's sisters-in-law and their families are named with the named used privately within the family: Daisy & Henri Anne Marie & Tino (King Constantine) Frederik & Mary Joachim & Marie Alexia & Carlos, Palo & Marie-Chantal, Nikolaos & Tatiana, Theodora, Philippos. I can see a wreath with King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden's monogram, the wreath beside it in the same colours appears to be another from Sweden (Madeleine?) . Beside that is a green and white floral tribute from "the family in Norway" Then a wreath of white roses with a "B" on one ribbon and something else on the other - Beatrix, Willem-Alexander & Maxima? I can't decipher any others, but I think I see the Belgian and Spanish colours on sashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
