Again, I'm not really on the royal "in crowd" (I was just a lucky bystander really) so I can't say with absolute certainty. Though, I do believe that the Romanovs still have money. HRH Prince Dimitri Romanov and his wife, Dorrit, were the grand guests as this event. The reception and dinner were meant to be a fundraiser for the Romanov Fund for Russia which provides assistance to underpriviliedged children [in Russia]. Anyway, the Romanovs were all wearing expensive gowns and jewlery. Princess Dorritt was even wearing a real tiara!
This particular event was being co-presented by the Almanach de Gotha and the London Debutante Season. Of course, midway through the reception, conversations were halted for the presentation of the debutantes, about 12 in all. Woah! I was not expecting that at all! They're definitely not like the American style deb presentations. Being an event put on by the Alamanch de Gotha *and* the London Debutante Season it stands to reason that there were guests with a lot of money in the room.
I was not one of them.
Well hey, if you or anyone else has anymore questions, feel free to PM me!
