Henri M., I dearly hope that you are right. But my fear is that slowly, step by step, they (meaning most royal families) are reducing white tie events by changing them into black tie. --Previous Message-- : No, you don't understand, it is the other way : round: usually there are no diadems worn : with black tie. It happens more and more, : but in fact it is the Queen whom now decided : to wear a diadem while Princess Margriet is : simply correctly dressed. : : Look at all these second day events on state : visits: almost always in black tie and no : diadem. Remember the Grand Duchess once wore : a diadem during a black tie banquet and : found out she was the only one. She quickly : removed the diadem... I believe it was for a : Swedish State Visit. : : I think when the original date of this Visit : was kept, in Amsterdam and with a full three : day program, then it was in all tralala and : with Maxima. This is just a shortened and : more sober version of the originally delayed : visit. For the rest all the ceremonials at : the palace looked perfect as always, for so : far to see on pics and the news. : : --Previous Message-- : Oh Henri I now understand: : Well the president wíll feel much better now : Margriet hasn't worn a tiara....poor : President, imagine with his age and than : having to cope with two tiaras at once! : : --Previous Message-- : I'm on a smartphone now, so typing is not so : easy, I'm sure Princess Margriet wore one of : the links from the necklace of the Stuart : parure as a broche. When I'm home I will try : to find out. I'm not surprised by the low : key because the whole visit, which has been : delayed once, is adapyed to the poor health : of the old and frail president. For an : example: after the arrival ceremony on the : inner cour at the backside of Noordeinde : palace the president took a few hours of : rest until the banquet. : : : : :
