It is sometimes confusing. The visit of President Chirac indeed was a State Visit. According to etiquette indeed the President, Madame Chirac and the Prince of Orange wore miniatures of their Orders. The Queen and Princess Margriet however wore full Orders, while this is not the use with black tie events. Then another black tie event: a major State Visit by a reigning King from neighbouring Belgium. No white tie but still diadems. No Orders here, in contrary to visit of the Chiracs. Also strange that the Banquet was held in the smaller War Council Chamber of the Royal Palace instead of the imposing Citizens' Hall. With other words: any guess will be okay. White tie or black tie? Diadems or no diadems? Orders or no Orders? We will see...
