SAUNDERS: Yes. We have actually had one confirmation. Apparently, the queen
sent an invite to Emperor Akihito of Japan, and he is elderly and has passed the invite
down to his son, Naruhito and his wife, who is the -- the crown princess, Masako, and
she's pretty much the Princess Diana of Japan. She's had some problems.
She hasn't done a foreign trip now in eight years, but the royal household have
confirmed they have received an invite, surprisingly before anybody else, and those two
will be going. As far as the other guest lists goes, we're still pretty much assuming
that the various heads of states of Europe will all be attending.
