Controversial Safari Trip
Corina invites the entire family, including her ex-boyfriend, Juan Carlos, and her ex-husband, Philip, to her home in Switzerland for her son Alexander's birthday party. The surprise gift from Juan Carlos is a safari trip in Africa, organized and paid for by a Syrian businessman who is a close friend of the current king of Saudi Arabia.
