Early in the evening I got company of Albert of Royal Press Holland and his assistant Albert. Not that much later also Stefan and Verena arrived. While we were talking, around 19:30 Queen Margarita of the Bulgarians passed us wearing jeans, Verena had seen her already earlier that day also making photographs in the park of the castle. It was not until shortly before the first guests arrived that more photographers joined us. Despite of having heard that we would not be allowed to make photos from the guests arriving at the ball, we weren't sent away after all. We again saw a long list of guests arriving, several women wearing splendid diademes, and of course everybody was in evening dress. After the guests had all arrived, it was about time to leave the scene. Stefan, Verena and I drove to Bad Saulgau and had dinner at a restaurant. Then we said goodbye, I went back to my hotel and that was the end of a long and very nice day.
