Princess Maxima is wearing the Swedinsh Order, right?
King Carl Gustav is not wearing a Netherlands order?, it seems to me that they all are wearing Swedish orders.
 
The king and queen of Sweden are both wearing the grand cross in the order of Orange-Nassau. Only due to something the orange seems to have faded into yellow.
 
Oh Thanks Marengo. As all orders are blue, I thought that all were Swedish Orders. My mistake.
 
yes, i thought so too, but then rechecked it and the yellow stripe in the swedish order seems thicker. i think maxima is still wearing the dutch order. it's a shame, i thought for once that she had been given the swedish order. i thought it was common practice to offer orders in such visits. not long ago, mette marit was given a spanish order with ocassion of a big norwegian-spanish meeting.
 
Is Queen Beatrix wearing the collar/necklace of the Seraphine Order ??

" Majesty,

It is with great joy that I welcome you and Queen Silvia here tonight.
This is not your first visit to this country,we already have met many times before both here and (in Sweden-).

It is a pleasure all the more to welcome you again today on this State Visit.

I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate You both,as well as my Godchild,Princess Victoria,with her
engagement and I wish her a very happy future.

What goes for our families,also goes for our countries.We are no strangers to eachother.Quite contrary.Swedes
and Dutch meet one another in many gremia,think the same on many issues and work in good and pleasant cooperation in many fields."

To be honest...it's a bit of a long speech really,at least for now,if you don't mind...:ermm:

Thanks for your work Lucien, :flowers:
Now the Speech is aviable in English
The Dutch Royal House
 
After a lecture , a Belgian Colonel said that King Baudouin was wearing the day of his wedding the Charles III Order of Spain. He confirmed that never Baudouin or Albert II were the collar of the first Order of Belgium :the Leopold's Order.
 
Visit to Mauritshuis in The Hague. The Royals had a lunch at the Trevezaal
