Not sure where exactly to post this, so I will put it here and hope no-one if offended if i am wrong!! Does anyone know how many staff the Prince and Princess have working for them? Part of me things thye wouldn't have very many at all but then Princess Astrid is the daughter of a King so I imagine she must have a few?
