This really isn't a surprise given the fragility of his constitution given his illness and age, though it is still very unfortunate. Are Nicholas and Elisabeta the only grandchildren attending, or are others not listed because they're not considered a part of the Royal House?
Nicholas is not a part of the royal house. The American grandchildren have chosen not to go. Don;t know why Karina is not attending. She remains in succession/
The announcement from the Royal House said Michael would be with friends and family, so perhaps some of his grandchildren might be with him in Switzerland?
The only unaccounted grandchild is Karina. Irina's two children are not going to Europe.
So sad he can't attend!
