It was really lovely to see the whole royal family together (excepting Pauline Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb). It was especially beautiful to see the next generation, all the youngsters. Princess Caroline's grandchildren are adorable, and this was the first time we've really seen close ups of little India Casiraghi and Raphael Elmaleh.
