Mr. and Mrs. James Bond

Looking back at the wedding of Bond and Tracy in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, I’ve always been curious about the guest list and the overall scale of the event. The film provides very little concrete information, but the toast that addresses “royal highnesses, my lords, ladies and gentlemen” suggests that the gathering included members of the aristocracy and possibly even minor royals (the Queen was probably at least invited, right?).

Most of the attendees likely came through Tracy and her father, Marc-Ange Draco, whose wealth and influence would naturally draw a large European social circle.
