The visit of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola was also an official visit, not a state visit. --Previous Message-- : 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... : : : : :
