Enthronement Ceremony of Dutch Monarchs


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Αmong the guests during queen Beatrix's investiture I could only recognize Albert and Paola de Liege, Prince Charles, Crown Prince Harald with his consort, all in row 4 I believe. Does anyone recognize more personages among the guests? Also who is the older lady sitting to the Queen Juliana's right?

I recognised them all.The Lady at then Princess Juliana's right is Freiin Gosta von Amsberg,mother of the late Prince Claus,spouse of Queen Beatrix.


A dorment thread that needs to be in the spotlights again to give an idea of how previous Investitures went and with great pics and footage!:)

I can't remember which thread posted a video of Queen Beatrix's enthronement, but I found it interesting that as she is reading her prepared speech, the papers are held together with what appears to be a regular paper-clip. I wonder if Willem-Alexander will do something different.

As I said,it was almost impossible to make pics of the dresses and uniforms of previous Monarchs,without any given reason by the less then interested non-Dutch guards..so yes..Come and tell me that....So

Some pics,but bad quality,sorry for that"

Is there an age limite to when a monarch can reign in the Netherlands.

Yes, the monarch must be at least 18 to be invested as Head of State. If he/she succeeds to the throne before reaching that age, the royal prerogative is exercised by a regent.
 
:previous:

There is another crown, made for William I, which is an even cheaper version made of gilded copper. It is thought to be an old funeral crown of the stadholders.
