Reading John R's post reminded me that the ermine mantle was customized for Queen Beatrix, and was not very long to begin with, only barely touching HM's shoes. I think it will not look correct on a tallish king, so either they will make a new one (perhaps re-using the gold lions and white miniver and tails on the current one), else drape the current one on the chair he will be seated. Else, discard the custom altogether. Here is an idea, drape it on the credenza and have the regalia resting on top of it. No uniform? I'm in shock, that won't look very regal :-( --Previous Message-- : I can not make the combination of a rokkostuum : (white tie & tails) with the ermine : mantle. The Prince has nice uniforms, like : the gala uniform of the Grenadiers he wore : last Prinsjesdag. Anyway, plans can always : change. "Rokkostuum" is the usual : dresscode for royal guests, like in 1980 and : was also worn by Prince Claus, maybe there : is an confusion with that. Princess Máxima : will most likely wear a hat, like on : Prinsjesdag, since the event takes place : around Noon. : : : : : : :
