I was surprised to see that there was no one there from Britain -actually I was really, really surprised at that. HM the Queen is CP Aleksander II god mother and both families seem pretty close. So I am surprised that a representative from the family of any kind was not present.
I was sad to see that Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the other more prominent houses did not send anyone. I find it hard to believe the HRH just refused to send an invite. These were reigning monarchs!
I was surprised that the US didn't send an ambassador or a higher representative as well. Just my thoughts.
It was a beautiful service for a good king and queen as well as a queen beloved by her people and her sons.
