Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s Prime Minister, has confirmed her attendance – likely in the company of her fiancé Clarke Gayford, a radio and television broadcaster (including of the popular fishing documentary, Fish of the Day). Plus, newly appointed Australian PM Anthony Albanese – who may well bring his partner Jodie Haydon, a financial services professional. Then there’s Justin Trudeau, who the Queen was known to be fond of, and who is likely to be accompanied by his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, a former television host. Michelle Bolsonaro, a Brazilian interpreter and the glamorous First Lady of Brazil, may well join her husband President Jair Bonsonaro – we’ll have to wait and see. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will attend ‘if the schedule allows’ and if so, most likely in the presence of his wife, Emine Erdogan.
Additionally: Princess Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert II, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway have all confirmed their attendance – as well as Spain’s King Felipe and Queen Letizia. But, in these royal examples, neither is really a ‘plus one’ as such.
