We don't even know who was invited. The Duke of Brabant is twice the age of the bride. Was there any relationship at all between Princess Madeleine, the yongest child of the King, and other royals in the Benelux, Spain or Liechtenstein.
Remember that also on other weddings of junior royals like Prince Constantijn, Prince Laurent, Prince Edward, Infanta Crístina, etc there was also no full representation.
That all royal families are present at all royal weddings is not at all the standard.
