This is what i expected but i had hoped for more. The new king, his brother and uncle wearing white tie and an order would normally dictate that at least the women of the Royal House wear tiara's. 1980 is the blueprint, but why they opted for the worst inauguration in Dutch history as the blueprint for the next one will always remain a mystery to me.
