The Queen and Prince Philip have welcomed royal families from all
over the world to a lunch in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee at
Windsor Castle.
The event was supposed to be a rare meeting of monarchs to celebrate the
60-year milestone, but it has been overshadowed by strong criticism from
campaigners about those invited to the Windsor Castle event, including the
King of Bahrain, King Hamad Al-Khalifa.
Guests from controversial regimes include Swaziland's King Mswati III, the
former Prime Minister of Kuwait Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Sabah, who stepped
down over a corruption row, and Prince Mohammed Bin Nawaf Bin Abdulaziz Al
Saud, Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to Britain.
The Queen
and Duke
of Edinburgh greeted their guests when they arrived, patiently
waiting outside the Castle's Waterloo chamber where the pre-lunch reception
was held.
Members of the British royal family attending the lunch included the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke of York and Princesses Beatrice
and Eugenie and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
The Queen was hosting 98 guests for lunch in Windsor Castle's St George' Hall.
