Behind Beatrix is Martine van Loon-Labouchere, former grand mistress of the court.

A picture report from the NRC:

It seems that the king and queen arrived at the Hall of Knights in the pouring rain.

The King is expected to visit the UN soon. He will be the first Dutch monarch who will adress the assembly.

It seems that Marianne Thieme is using her outfit to protest against TTIP, the trade agreement with the Us which will force us to import chloride chickens and other poisoned foods.The outfit of the minister of education was a 'high tech outfit' designed by the University of Eindhoven. Her shoes come from a 3D printer.

Queen Maxima looked great. Jan Taminiau makes amazing gowns for her. The dress is exquisitely feminine.

She wears same hair decoration at the back of her hairdo. She has done the same also in previouis years. I find it more a pity that the King can not wear his Uniform anymore like he did as Prince of Orange.

He can wear his uniform, no one stops him. The King seems to have made a deliberate distinction in civil and military events. This one, an address to the Parliament, of course is purely civil.
 
I do miss the presence of Beatrix and Margriet at the Prinsjesdag event.

Only strange that as Prince of Orange he wore his Uniform also to this civil Event. And it looks strange with the Queen wearing her Order sash but not the King as Head of State.
 
I agree but he is there as member of the Government and most likely he wants to stress that constitutional aspect. An uniform adds colour and decorum, I agree: see picture.

Is the King of the Netherlands not Head of the Armed Forces vis a vis the Queen of the United Kingdom et al, the King of Spain and the King of Norway? I can't think of any other reason why we never seem to see the Willem-Alexander in uniform anymore.

Article 42 of the Constitution:
The Government comprises of the King and the ministers.

Article 97 of the Constitution:
The Government has the supreme authority over the armed forces.

In contrary to many of his colleagues, the King is an integral part of Government (art 42). The same Government which holds the supreme authority over the armed forces (art 97). In Dutch eyes it is not possible to be a member of Government ánd to be in the armed forces which is subjected to that Government.

Any Dutch military whom wants to become a member of Government has to lay down all military commissions. That does however not mean that these retired military do not have the right to wear an uniform. The King can wear an uniform if he likes but he clearly makes a difference in events with a military character or a civil event (like Prinsjesdag).

Here King Willem-Alexander wears a naval uniform: the golden galon stripes indicate the rank of an admiral, the royal insignia (an orb crossed with a sceptre and the sword-of-state) shows it is His Majesty The King. See picture.

The last time the carriage was used was in 1923. The steps are narrow, the king and queen have practiced getting in and out of the carriage. They will use Frisian horses for the glass carriage and Groningen horses for the other carriages.

The route is slightly different due to the construction of an underground parking garage. This means that the carriage will not pass the cabinet of the King, where Princess Beatrix usually looks from the window. She is now standing on the steps of the Mauritshuis.

**
1st carriage: the master of ceremonies of the court and the chaimberlain of the province of Flevoland.

2nd carriage: Grand Master and Grand Mistress.

3rd carriage (Gala glass Berliner): Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien. The princess is wearing a trash bag coloured outfit from head to toe. Knitted metallic jersey is the fabric, according to the NOS. She is wearing Queen Máxima's chandelier earrings and an insect brooch.

Edit: according to modekoninginmaxima.nl, the dress is made by Hardies (The Hague) and Talbot Rumhof. The inspiration was a coat of mail. The hat was made by Evelien Gentis of Eudia.

4th carriage (Glass carriage): the King and Queen. Queen Máxima is wearing a dress that has a night blue armure top and a golden silk & satin double garbardine skirt with blue guipire lace and small sequins. The dress has been made by Claes Iversen.

HM is also wearing a wide brimmed golden Parabuntal hat by Fabienne Delvigne. She is wearing Queen Beatrix' sapphire earrnings and a diamond-sapphire bow brooch of the dismantled Amsterdam parure.

Does anyone know who is that with Geert Wilders :previous: ?
 
That is his 2nd wife Krisztina Marfai. I believe she is from Hungary, which is ironic as he is usually ranting about Eastern Europeans in The Netherlands.

The female politicians mostly look horrendous as usual. Marianne Thieme, leader of the 'Party of the Animals' is dressed as a circus director it seems.

BTW Apart from the good news from the throne, there is more good news for at least the queen today: Natan opens a shop in Amsterdam :bang:. http://www.parool.nl/amsterdam/modehuis-natan~a4380287/
