Is there a video or archive footage of the Crown Princess arrival?
No idea. There are photos http://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2015/01/gala-concert-on-january-18-in-bucharest.html
I meant the arrival 25 years ago.
Just photos. It was a daring thing to do, as they were invited and had to leave
