There are more weird things: - the combination of eh... hippie-jewels with stunning old large natural pearls - the unknown breast star which is not corresponding with the sash This was the first Prinsjesdag after the so-called 'Lockheed Affair' (the Prince of the Netherlands was blamed for making himself accessible for gifts and favours in return for his influence in the purchase of new fighter jets from the firm Lockheed). The Prince ended all his military commissions and appeared in jacquet for the first time. Maybe the breast star worn by Queen Juliana is belonging to an Order of the House Lippe? A sort of demonstrative support to her spouse (a Prince of Lippe).
