Did I miss something? Why are princess Christina and Tord Magnuson not attending?

Is this the one who was made from some cufflinks that belonged to Gustav V or is that the other one with multicoloured stones?At SVT:

The looked very blue. Perhaps turqioses.Wow, Sofia seems to have added aquamarines or blus topaz to her tiara.
You might be right about turquoise. We'll soon have better close up pictures to determine whether the stones are transparent or not.The looked very blue. Perhaps turqioses.
I think that the epaulette earrings are part of the Bernadotte collection, so they're not Victoria's. But they do look stunning on Madeleine.Typical Silvia with her quite-new gorgeous ES gown.
Victoria is quite dramatic today but I think it's not bad?
Madeleine borrowed her sister's stunning diamond earrings!
Sofia did get a new set of gemstones (and earrings) and unfortunately it's turquoise. Doesn't look good to me.
Does anybody else think that Victoria's gown is just too much? But I love the Queen's gown, even though it is not standing out that much. It's very elegant and flattering, though.
Victoria's gorgeous dress
At least it's warm enough for winter night...Unfortunately, the dress really and truly looks like it's made out of a quilt (duvet).
I'm laughing at the idea of someone pulling it off their bed and stitching it into this mess for Victoria.

The Dailymail has an article about today's ceremony and banquet:

Well! Another Nobel ceremony in the books.
Victoria’s gown has grown on me throughout the day and the Baden Fringe really shines on her here. I, for one, have no problem with turquoise and am happy to see them on Sofia’s tiara. I’m not crazy about the earring pairing though. And Madde’s dress is very pretty but this is not her best showing of the aquamarine tiara - it doesn’t match well with the dress and is titled back more than she usually wears it. The epaulette earrings are always great though.
I’m curious - why are Countess Bettina and her husband invited to this event each year? Are they involved with the Nobels in some way or particularly close to the royal family? It seems there a many Bernadottes or other distant family but we never see them for Nobel Season. Not that I mind. The more tiaras the better!
Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!
As Gerry wrote, Countess Bettina host the Lindau meeting each year bringing together Nobel laureates, other scientists and students to foster scientific exchange between different generations and cultures. The meetings mainly takes place in Lindau but parts of the event are held at Mainau. The idea was originally thought of by physicians Franz Karl Heintz & Gustav Parade who asked Count Lennart Bernadotte to help them convince the Nobel Committee to support them. The first meeting was held in 1951 and the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings was founded in 1954 to organise the fast growing event. The first president was Count Lennart Bernadotte and he's been followed on the post by his widow Countess Sonja and his daughter Countess Bettina.I’m curious - why are Countess Bettina and her husband invited to this event each year?
