Queen Maxima & State Visits Archived Message

I do beg to differ here! Even though I think this discussion is heading towards an exchange as we use to see on other Boards and not totally "Jewelry bound" and I am very sorry that some members of this Board don't use other Boards for more informal exchanges! Anyway, jewel-wise I think the new Dutch Royal Couple has already shown much more glitter than what we saw at the Dutch Court, in previous years. That said I don't hold my breathe for a State Visit by a Chinese President who is only visiting due to a larger International Summit (NSS) .... Queen Maxima - no doubt about that - will surely make the best possible effort to use the O-N baubles but I'd rather await the State Visit by another (reigning) Monarch before we can draw our conclusions about the new rules at Noordeinde ....
