We will be treated to lots of royal to royal state visits this spring, quite rare to have so many in one year.
- The Grand Ducal couple of Luxembourg arrive to pay a state visit to their cousins in Belgium for three days 16 to 18 April. Hopefully we will see several family members attend the banquet, like we did during the last such visit.
- In neighbouring Netherlands, the royal couple will receive the Spanish royal couple for a state visit 17 to 18 April. It has been confirmed the Princess of Orange, Princess Beatrix and Princess Margriet will attend the banquet.
- The following month, the new King and Queen of Denmark will pay state visits to their neighbours in Sweden 6 to 7 May, and to Norway 14 to 15 May.
Also announced is a state visit of the new President of Finland to Sweden from 23 to 24 April.
It's been a while since we had 5 ladies wearing a tiara in the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. I think the last time may have been the state visit of the Belgian King and Queen.
It might be nice to see the two big tiara's of both Queens side by side and im hoping for a new tiara on Amalia. Maybe the aquamarine set?

It all depends on the dresses I am afraid. I am hoping for the diamond bandeau or the laurel wreath on Amalia, the latter would require an updo! Something I look forward to anyway… Beatrix with the Ornate pearl tiara (it has a fleurs de lills motif!) and Margriet with the Ruby Peacock. She really should give it a try once. Please no Emerald and small Sapphire tiara. Too modest. Max smashing it with either the Sapphire tiara but preferably the House Diamonds. I am not asking much 😛

While I find The Princess of Orange lovely to look at, and with gorgeous skin, I suspect she is shy to wear her hair up. Wearing hair down long deemphasizes the full Orange face she inherited. I would love to see her in the Diamond Bandeau as well. Such a treasure!

Yes to maxima with the house diamonmds. And for a change please the full setting with the stuart diamond. As for Amalia i would like to see her in the not much used laurel-wreath tiaras. As for Queen Letizia it would be nice to see her in the loop diamond and pearl tiara but i guess she will wear the fleur-de-lys as that seems to be her to go tiara for State Visits to other monarchies.

Letizia in the large Fleur-de-Lys tiara seems likely and im looking forward to seeing it against Maxima in the full House diamond parure and the tiara with the Stuart diamond. I like John's suggestions of Beatrix wearing the ornate pearl tiara and Margriet wearing the Peacock ruby tiara. For Amalia i just hope she'll wear a tiara she so far has not worn before, i like the aquamarines but the rose cut bandeau or the bandeau a la Grecque would all do just as well. The antique pearl tiara might be another option for her. And if her mother is not wearing the sapphire set the diamond fringe tiara with the trellis necklace all in diamonds also looks good.

Actually we have seen her with an updo albeit tiara-less and she looked much much better! See link.

Only a few days ago it was also announced from the Norwegian Royal Court that the President of Moldova has been invited to Norway for a State Visit by Their Majesties and that the State Visit will take place on 6th - 7th May (so just ahead of the Danish State Visit to Norway). We thus have yet another tiara event to look forward to as a State Banquet will take place at the Royal Palace.Kongetro
It looks like it is going to be a very glittering first day of the Spanish State Visit to the Netherlands. Hopefully the reports are true and that we will see five (!) tiaras at the State Banquet. If only also Princess Laurentien attended with her husband it would have been a "full house!"
As for the tiaras to be worn I agree that it would be nice to see the Princess of Orange in something new for her.
Just as an additional bit of information regarding this State Visit; the King and Queen of the Netherlands will both receive the Spanish Order of Charles III. No additional Spanish Orders have been confirmed as of yet, though it is normal that courtiers, high ranking politicians and Royals attending the State Banquet are also awarded Spanish Orders like the Order of Civil Merit or the Order of Isabel the Catholic.

We could have seen 2 Queen-consorts, 1 former Queen-regnant, a princess of Orange and three princesses of the Netherlands (Alexia, Margriet and Laurentien) attending the State Banquet but i think 5 royal women at a Dutch gala event is just about as big as it gets in the Netherlands.
