Wasn't he picked up or helped by a palace guard, or at least a guard in a sort white tropical uniform?

According to Wikipedia:

Fight with Amedeo (2004)

On 21 May 2004, following a dinner held by King Juan Carlos I of Spain held at the Zarzuela Palace on the eve of the wedding of his son Felipe, Prince of Asturias, Vittorio Emanuele punched his third cousin and arch-rival Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, twice in the face, causing him to fall down the steps.[33][34] Former Queen Anne-Marie of Greece caught Amedeo to prevent him further injuring himself and helped him indoors, stanching his bleeding face until first aid could be administered. Upon learning of the incident, Juan Carlos, a cousin of both men, reportedly declared that "never again" would an opportunity to abuse his hospitality be afforded to the competing pretenders.[34]

Ernst August also became ill at the Pedro de Osma Museum in Peru, where his younger son's Prince Christian's post-wedding party was being held.

Isn't Sybilla that larger lady on the left in the picture? I already thought so, but didn't know if it was possible age wise

[Celia]

Yes, the first grown-up on the left.  Ingrid is on the right, and Alice is at Ingrid's right elbow (behind Elizabeth).

I love the Queen of Jordan’s little wedding jacket. Very stylish. Dismayed at that one of the Spencer sisters took brides”maid” literally and had her bridesmaids wear aprons.

[Principessa]

Among others Grand Duchess Kira of Russia was part of the bridal staff at the wedding of Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands and Prince Bernhard of Lippe Biesterfeld.

It's interesting to note that until the 1960ies/1970ies etc. royals usually had bridesmaids aged around 20-25, while nowadays they rather have they bridal children including boys and girls.

Would be interesting to know why that changed.
