Their
Hi,
"Earlier in the day, the rather less controversial Beirut born and based designer, Elie Saab, showed his spring/summer haute couture collection which was, conversely, as pretty as the proverbial picture. Saab has a booming couture business and that was clear as guests arrived: there appeared to be almost as many princesses front row as their were members of the press." [From The Independent.]
Whom does the pronoun "their" refer to in the context?
Thank you.

It's a typo. It's 'there' instead of 'their'.
