[An Ard Ri]

I just saw a short clip of the water pageant on Euronews,little Princess Catharina-Amalia was waving very enthusiastically from the barge!

ZDF has started its broadcast. I wish these experts would just shut up and we were given proper footage.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! (although the sound seems missing, doesn't matter)

 

[soomi]

No, I think she's the host of the evening event

She is the wife of the Mayor of Amsterdam.

 

[Rebafan81]

What a thrill for the new King and Queen, to see the love of the people for them and the love of the country. W-A and Maxima look so happy, I prefer the Dutch way of ceremony/inauguration. I am so thankful for the internet and for NOS broadcasting on youtube!!!!!

Are we expecting any royals tonight?

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Yes, Lumutqueen. Although Victoria and Daniel have left, the rest of them are expected to attend. For example Casa Real already confirmed.

[Lee-Z]

Aw, how cute mom and dad are with their kids

 

[princess carmen]

It sure is.
I understand from a recent interview that Amalia is very much aware that she is eventually going to be queen. And also that she has asked her dad when he is going to abdicate. - It's nice to know these things an advance I guess, in case you happen to have other plans that day....

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Why are they getting off the boat?

 

[Kataryn]

I think it is perfectly normal that she asked this. I guess she had a talk with her grandmother and father and the whole abdictaion business and her role in it was explained. So of course that would be a question any cute child in her position would ask. Probably her father convinced her that she will have all the time in the world to grow-up and find the right prince for her, then going to have kids of her own before she must take over from her father. And that he will be a loving grandfather then... Just like it happens now withher granny.

The song is so beautiful, is that the song for the King? It was really amazing, but I heard the song received very bad criticism, or this is the newly made one?

No it is the same one allright..it got popular after all...who knew...!

They left the boat and greeted Armin van Buren and the Orchestra,the beautifull RCO they both are huge fans of both Armin and the RCO!!Unexpected fantastic!!!

Princess Beatrix was on a boat with the Royal Guests and arrived a little earlyer then TM at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ where there's a party...but without camera's...sorry...Still,what a day it was...A Dutch treat of sorts,THAT's how we do it here!!

 

[samitude]

Who's doing the concert this evening and what time is it to be? I read something earlier about Andre Rieu. Is his orchestra doing the concert? I love their music!

 

[Valberg R]

Who's doing the concert this evening and what time is it to be?

André Rieu and I think it's in 20 minutes!

 

[Roskilde]

Yes, Lumutqueen. Although Victoria and Daniel have left, the rest of them are expected to attend. For example Casa Real already confirmed.

[Charlotte_Aster]

They didn't? NOS is really doing a great job with all the misinformation...

 

[Lumutqueen]

It's the Luxembourg wedding dress!

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Is it me or is Mary wearing the red dress she wore at Guillame and Stephanie's pre-wedding dinner? Also has Letizia recycled her blue dress? Btw, Letizia is braving the cold, considering all the Nordic princesses are wrapped up.
