Morning dress is perfectly allright for the occasion, but like you I don't understand why the Queen wears the grand cordon of the Dutch Lion, while the King, as the most important person in the room, just uses a buttonhole. Besides that, I feel it a bit awkward that the Queen shouts "long live the King", together with all present....
