Yeah, lets get this party started.
LOTS or criticism on the 'Koningslied' (King's song) which was presented this morning.
Please, is there already an Internet link to watch the live event next April 30???
Please read post 406 above.
I was just going to ask the exact same question, the thing that makes me wonder about Monaco is would it be Princess Caroline as usually the hereditary is the one that attends or would it be Albert and Charlene since they're prince and princess and not king and queen!Is it announced whose Liechtenstein and Monaco-Royals will attend the inauguration?

In 2006, Queen Beatrix invited Naruhito, Masako and their daughter, Princess Aiko, to the Netherlands, where they spent two weeks at a retreat, in part to provide rest for Masako.
According to sources, Princess Maxima of the Netherlands contacted Masako directly to issue the invitation.
Masako is said to be keen to go so she can express her appreciation for the 2006 visit.
I'm sure the fact that her father is nearby in Brussels had something to do with her accompanying the CP.
The prince and princess met with 20 royalty reporters at theministery of the prime minister in The Hague to discuss the upcoming enthronement in an informal way.. Some info from RTL Boulevard:
Kings song: WA didn't give an opinion but he hopes that everybody willy sing along. He regretted the negativity.
Marc van der Linden says that he heard from a reliable source that Máxima will wear something with yellow and gold.
Somebody asked WA how impressed he was by the riots during the enthronement of his mother. He said that he did hear the helicopters that day but was not afraid, as they were prepared for it.
Máxima studied the paintings of previous enthronements with a magnifying glass to see how things were done for the previous kings.
Máxima didn't want to say where her parents would be during the event. But her family decided to be together that day to watch the event.
The throne that will be used for the enthronement is from Amsterdam, donated to Queen Wilhelmina. They won't use the seat of Claus and Beatrix as they were too small.
When asked what they would miss after the abdication, princess Maxima awnsered: my mother-in-law's company during state visits.
WA doesn't know yet when exactly they will move to Huis ten Bosch palace.
Oh that's great news! The Dutch deserve such a high profile representation from Great Britain! This really is turning out to be the greatest royal event for a long time!

Isnt he still a Justice with the International Court in The Hague?
Due to all the ciritcism, the composer withdrew the King's song and the thing will not be played on 30 April. He wrote an open letter, explaining his decision.
Apparently over 40.000 people signed the online petition against the song.

Added: apparently that was yesterday's news.... the comitee has decided to keep the song.
Deserve such high representation?It's not like we won a lottery or something,it's only natural the Heirs pop-up during these ceremonies.Nothing out of the ordinary or that special at all nor that GB is.All Monarchies are represented by their Heirs and spares & spouses.
