In my view what Maxima will wear also depends on the dresscode for the other members of the Royal House, the Royal Family and Royal guests. For now we know that the female MP's will appear in afternoondresses (meaning short dresses) without hats and that the new king will wear a white tie (possibly to make clear he doesn't become supreme commander of the armed forces but i cannot get the idea out of my head that it has to do with the ermine robe and it not fitting over his shoulders if he was in uniform with epaulettes). Scenario 1: The most sobre scenario will be Maxima with nothing or a headpiece (the aigrette) and some jewels while the rest of the ladies wear outfits that resemble normal prinsjesdag-dress code. scenario 2: One step up would be for Maxima to wear a small tiara (my personal favorite would be the ears of wheat as they stand for prosperity and depending on the colour of her dress she could match or create the colours of the flag with the rest of her jewels. All other Royal ladies in prinsjesdag-dresscode. scenario 3: Maxima and the women of the Royal House all wear tiara's. In that scenario the new queen would have to wear something bigger that the now princess Beatrix and the princessess Laurentien and Margriet. In that case she could wear one of the larger pearl tiara's or maybe the full Ruby parure with a white dress and the blue and orange ribbon of the Order of the Dutch lion. Scenario 4: All Royal men are in white tie and the ladies jeweled accordingly. In this case i could see Maxima wear the Stuart Parure to stand out among all those women as the highest ranking one. So far i haven't heard any plans for the eve of the event or what will happen in the evening. If there is a Thank-you event for Beatrix on the 29th it will most likely be black tie at best. The evening of the inauguration might see a white tie event for the Royals and their Royal guests. That would leave open the option for a less glittering setting during the day. --Previous Message-- : I so agree with you for Sal, since, and : nevetheless the legal considerations, : QBeatrix herself did especific mention of : Maxima in her abdications spech, they are a : team....... : : --Previous Message-- : Your focus maybe but I don't think that the : couple regard their new function as such. : They see themselves as a team so I think : that the only visible difference of who is : the real king will be the ermine mantle : : --Previous Message-- : I think it is too much for 12.00 o'clock. : The : pearl spikes diadem as shown above, without : the pearls, looks perfect to me.
