Just did a search. Nothing but leftist sources drooling over the attendees or a few others treating it like an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

If he doesn’t like the cake he is catching downstream from the engine of free market capitalism... then he should get a better vocation; or maybe invent, build and employ.

In America he has a choice.

Or perhaps he would be happier moving to Cuba hoping to snatch up a few pieces of cake dumped in the gutters and streets by the Castro regime that owns the peasants lives and labor.

In Cuba you don’t have a choice.

that’s the reality of capitalism. It’s better than Communism or any of the rest but it isn’t perfect either because evil and greed have obviously corrupted it

There comes a moment in every good gangster movie when all of the villains come together in a remote hideaway to make nefarious plans.

BARZINI
"Times have changed. It's not like the Old Days when we can do anything we want. A refusal is not the act of a friend. If Don Corleone had all the judges, and the politicians in New York, then he must share them, or let us others use them. He must let us draw the water from the well. Certainly he can present a bill for such services. After all, we are not Communists."

Is that George V or Czar Nicolas, his lookalike cousin?

Georgie in the bottom center, I'm pretty sure. Here's what the History Channel site calls it:

Standing, from left to right: King Haakon VII of Norway, Tsar Ferdinand of the Bulgarians, King Manuel II of Portugal and the Algarve, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Prussia, King George I of the Hellenes and King Albert I of the Belgians.

Seated, from left to right: King Alfonso XIII of Spain, King George V of the United Kingdom, and King Frederick VIII of Denmark.

More kings than a good game of checkers...

LOL! I found this photo of the two of them together, cousins George and Nick:

George looks more like Nick than Nick does.

Victoria’s grandson is good looking there.

I thought he was dumpy looking.
