I think all the royals should come, ALL of them - kids, parents, aunts, uncles, a few tag-a-longs. Their pets, too. Hey, they got the cash.
They can have a barbecue, with orange and white themed cutlery, paper tablecloths, etc. Saves on all the cleanup. Little windmill souvenirs at every table. All under orange and white tents. Big moonwalks and air slides for the little royals.
Pippa does party planning know - she's a famous authoress on the subject. They can have her do up the whole thing.
And everyone in Holland is going, who's Pippa? You are a hoot and a half.
I think Charles and Camilla will come.I wonder who, if the UK does get invited, will they send. I would think it would be Charles and Camilla but Sophie and Edward went to Albert's enthronement in 2005.
You don't know who Pippa is?
Says GracieGiraffe with tongue firmly planted in cheek!
Enthronements/coronations etc. are tradionally not attended by other heads of state. Though there has been exceptions, the most recent one in Luxembourg where King Albert II and Queen Beatrix attended the investure of Grand Duke Henri.

Didn't Albert & Beatrix only witness Jean's abdication, and not the actual installation of Henri?
I think Queen Juliana was technically known as Princess Juliana after her abdication, and Queen Wilhelmina became Princess Wilhelmina, so I assume they'll do the same.
the ones that have been only reserved for Queen Beatrix, so i believe Maxima will now have the chance to wear them once shes Queen.Are there any spectacular tiaras we haven't seen for a long while that Queen Maxima can delight us with?
Queen Wilhelmina became Princess Wilhelmina through her abdication because as she was born a Princess, she wanted to die as such. Queen Juliana just followed her mother steps, but this is not mandatory, Queen Beatrix might not want to be a princess again and be known as the Queen Mother. we shall wait and see...Alison H said:I think Queen Juliana was technically known as Princess Juliana after her abdication, and Queen Wilhelmina became Princess Wilhelmina, so I assume they'll do the same.

Likely some of the foreign heirs will attend on April 30th as they did in 1980 but the dress code did not include tiaras for the guests. For the ladies it was gowns and hats, for the men it was uniforms or white tie with decorations. Only Beatrix wore a tiara. This is a civil installation ceremony not a coronation.
I really hope Charles goes, particularly if he attended Beatrix's.
I expect most heirs + spouses will attend, apart from the UK perhaps. As it is a state event I do not expect we will see multiple people representing one family. So no Astrid, ánd Laurent, ánd Philippe + spouses, but just Philippe and Mathilde. I am also not convinced that much non-reigning royals will be invited.
That's what I was thinking too Marengo.
