This year's ball contains an impressive guest list. Chief among them would be Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duchess of Calabria and Palermo: Maria Carolina (b.2003) is the eldest daughter and heiress of Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro. Another member of the larger Bourbon family will be there: Princess Louise d'Orléans (b.1999), the eldest daughter of Prince Charles-Louis d'Orléans, Duke de Chartres, and his wife Princess Illéana (née Manos; a cousin of Queen Alexandra of Yugoslavia [née Greece; Alexandra's mother was born Aspasia Manos]). Louise d'Orléans will be escorted to the ball by Prince Philippe Emmanuel de Croÿ-Solre (b.1997). Another attendee will be Louise's maternal cousin, Athina Manos (herself related to both the French and Serbian royal families). A final notable debutante will be Elvire de Clermont-Tonnerre (b.2002), the niece of the 12th Duc de Clermont-Tonnerre.
