In answer on your question: Professor Pieter van Vollenhoven has two Dutch Orders: Grootkruis Huisorde van Oranje In 2004, on his 65th birthday, the Queen promoted her brother-in-law with the Grootkruis in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw.
Pic: Princess Beatrix with the Grootkruis in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw. Princess Laurentien with the Grootkruis in de Huisorde van Oranje. Pieter van Vollenhoven has both Orders. (Look at the Princess of Orange seeing the Crown... what would she think at that moment? And... then her regal look into the middle of the Church...)
