Scenario 1 (Queen Máxima and the other ladies of the Royal House in long daywear with hats) and scenario 2 (Queen Máxima with a diadem and the other ladies of the Royal House in long daywear with hats) seem the most obvious to me. I would not mind the new Queen to follow the Norwegian example and wear a sort of textile kokoshnik. That would also be a nice hint to the last Queen-Consort when a King of the Netherlands was invested (Sophie von Württemberg) who had a Russian Grand Duchess as a mother, like her spouse King Willem III (both mother and mother-in-law for Willem III as wel Sophie were sisters). By the way, now I am writing this, in my mind goes the flash that the Prince did not opt for King Willem IV because his names are a combination of the last two Princes of Orange (Prince Willem and his younger brother Prince Alexander) who both died before their father Willem III. In this way the present Prince of Orange includes his two last forebeares with that title in his regnal name Willem-Alexander (instead of Willem IV).
