Incoming state visit from Portugal to the Netherlands
Posted by Johan on December 9, 2024, 4:25 am
Tomorrow the President of Portugal will start his state visit to The Netherlands. On the first night the King and Queen will host the state banquet. HRH the Princess of Orange will also attend. Any tiara guesses?
I'd love to see Queen Maxima with queen Emma's floral tiara with the stars on top. Princess Amalia has worn other pieces of the aquamarine set of her great grandmother but so far not the tiara. It would be nice to see her in it.
The official website of the Royal House does not state the attendance of any other member of the Royal House. It seems Beatrix, Laurentien and Margriet are otherwise occupied or are simply not invited.

I hope to see the princess of Orange with the emerald tiara (of something with pearls).
Queen Maxima could be wearing the Mellerio ruby tiara or Queen Emma's diamond tiara with 3 rubies.

Of the flag the colours are red and green but the ribbon of the order is in blue, white and black so that could be another option to match with those colours.

Mellerio Ruby tiara for Maxima and diamond star tiara for Amalia
Queen Maxima opted to only wear the chain of her Portugese order and that made her red dress work with the Mellerio Ruby tiara and necklace. The Princess of Orange and her father both are wearing a red order and the princess is wearing her mother's wedding tiara. With her hair done up in a very nice way this tiara looks much better on her than the first time she wore it. She combined it with diamond earrings and a riviere.

I must admit I have never understood the rules about the bestowing of Portuguese orders to foreign heads of State and foreign State officials. I mean that, from one State visit to another, the foreign head of State, his consort and family may receive different orders: either the Order of Christ, as it is the case here (red sash), or the Order of Aviz (green sash), or the Order of St James of the Sword (purple sash), or the Order of Prince Henry the Navigator (sash with three blue, white and black stripes), or the Order of Merit (Black sash with a wide yellow central stripe)...

I agree. The Honours' system in Portugal is rather confusing. It seems like every time their President go on a State Visit they feel like they have to give the host a new Order, no matter what they have received in the past. And there doesn't seem to be a fixed rank among all the Orders either like in so many other countries. So when the host receives an Order that is supposedly of a lower rank he or she still feels they need to wear it even though they already had one of a higher rank.
What I also found interesting at last night's banquet is that the Portuguese president has also been given a second Order. During the King and Queen's State Visit to Portugal he received the Order of the Netherlands Lion, but yesterday he seems to have received the Order of the Crown which he wore to the banquet.Kongetro
