O my, hats after all: horrible! I do remember Margriet with that immense hat at her sisters 1980-Inauguration: like an UFO had landed on the back of her head... I never expected the female royal guests to wear a tiara at the investiture though. Dresscodes tend to "never go up" through the decades. I will already be glad when royal woman will still be wearing floorlong dresses (as done in 1980)... But I fear that also this custom might be abandoned. The Dutch Royal family being the only royal family in the world still familiar with this concept (Dresscode-Prinsjesdag). I realy will be surprised (and ofcourse over the moon) when Maxima will be wearing a (substantial) Tiara. I even fear we might not see tiaras at all... Certainly not on that little boat on Het IJ so neither for the reception in het Muziekgebouw. Maybe, just maybe (very small change and not like Beatrix at all) we might see some glitter at the 29th for her farewell-diner in Het RijksMuseum, but don't count on it... I think the images in the coming weeks from Britain will certainly outshine the images from Amsterdam! With in London a fullblown statevisit (with the beautiful carriages and the mounted horse guards) and the Statediner at Buckingham Palace, the State-Opening of Parliament with again carriages and the regalia, the bejewelled Queen and also Charles and Camilla in attendance... I mean more royal then that, things will certainly never be in Holland
