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.
