Tiranos num almoço em Windsor

Kings and queens from around the world have arrived today in Windsor for a lunch to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Twelve members of the British royal family are joining the Queen to welcome the sovereigns of 26 countries. Among the guests is King Hamad al-Khalifa of Bahrain, whose attendance has been criticised by human rights campaigners. Buckingham Palace has said that the Foreign Office approved the invitation of King Hamad. Another invitation proving to be controversial is that of King Mswati III of Swaziland, who is accused of living a lavish lifestyle while his people go hungry. Campaigner Peter Tatchell criticised the Queen for inviting "royal tyrants to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee". The Foreign Office said it was having "a full and frank discussion on a range of issues" with Bahrain's government. The lunch will be followed by an evening banquet, hosted by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. BBC
