dear all
remember the massive quantity of diamonds wore by Maxima at Wstminster Abbey on William and Catherin wedding, I would bet that she will not disappoint this board, any case, she will find the way to glitter in diamonds the day she become Queen. Just a thought

: I am looking forward to seeing changes in some

: mantle as it is not very long and was
: re-tailored a few times already - for women.
: I would opt for a uniform and a mantle
: draped on the old throne of Willem II or
: III. As for Maxima? I think she will opt

: full parure would cause a mass hysteria on

: Prinsjesdag, long dresses (not gowns) with

: Willem-Alexander will wear the ermine mantle
: or if it will be draped on the throne like
: King Carl Gustav in Sweden.

: Their will be two ceremonies on april 30th.
: In the morning there will be a ceremony in
: the palace (most likely in the Moseshall)
: where the Queen in the presence of members
: of the Royal House and the ministers and
: underministers will sign her bill of
: abdication.
: This will be followed (if the procedures of
: 1948 and 1980 are an example) by a
: presentation the balcony. Here the abdicated
: monarch will present the Dutch nation their
: new sovereign.
:
: In the afternoon the inauguration will take
: place in Amsterdam (this is required by the
: constitution so no other location is
: possible). By tradition the ceremony will
: take place in the building known as the new
: Church. This former church (now it's no
: longer a house of worship but an exhibition
: hall) has been the location of the
: swearing-in ceremonies of sovereign prince
: Willem I (he was sworn in as King at the
: Royal Square in Brussels), King Willem II,
: King Willem III, Queen Wilhelmina, Queen
: Juliana and Queen Beatrix.
:
: This ceremony is one where the monarch wears
: the ermine line mantle of state. The crown,
: sceptre, orb, sword of state and
: constitution are on a table in front of the
: monarch. Going by the tradition women of the
: family are in long gowns and wear their
: orders. Maxima might be wearing a tiara, but
: it is in no way certain. Other women of the
: Royal House might wear a tiara but could
: also be attending with headpieces or hats
: (as was done in 1980 and 1948).
: In the evening there will be a special
: programm. The contence and the dresscode for
: that event is unknown. Im hoping for a white
: tie event with Queen Maxima wearing the
: Stuart Parure.
