I was reading the news today and I suddenly saw this. I post it here as a curiosity, since it has surprised me a lot:

MADRID
Orange light on the fountain and the Palace of Cibeles in honour to the Netherlands.
They will be "dyed" this way because of the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander in the Netherlands, which will be held on April 30th in Amsterdam.

Those who doesn´t know about Madrid, Cibeles´square and its famous fountain are one of the most known city´s symbols ;)

You know, while I knew this was happening, seeing this thread started and up now makes it all *real*. If that makes any sense and I hope it does. Anyway...

That's a lovely thing that's being done in Spain. Thanks for letting us know Annie. :)
 
HM The King appointed his cousin His Highness Prince Maurits as his Adjutant extraordinair while Prince Maurits also was elevated to the rank of Captain-Lt of the Royal Navy.

They will move to Huis trn Bosch on a later date. But it isn't that far from Eikenhorst, perhaps 10 minutes by car.

The new king will leave 'his house' the way it is. Meaning no new appointments for courtiers.
 
King Willem-Alexander will become patron of the Dutch Biblical Society.

Yes it is :flowers:

Since king Willem II, every Dutch monarch has been patron of the biblical society.
 
I thought he was giving up all patronages in order to be seen as King of all the Dutch.

No,he will keep some,some are under review,others ditched,and some new.All in tradition and accordance of His new role.:flowers:

The events that WA and Maxima attended as CP and CPS....how will this be handled now or who will attend? They will attend functions as King and Queen with other Monarchs, so who will attend on their behalf when the functions are for the CP and CPS? Perhaps one of his brothers and their wives? My apologies if this has been addressed previously.

Some functions they will be represented by either Princess Beatrix or Princess Margriet and / or her husband,Pieter van Vollenhoven.And since Prince Maurits was appointed his Adjutant on wednesday it is expected he too will be in attendance on behalve of the King at various occasions.Constantijn and Laurentien won't do a second Margriet & Pieter in terms of assistance,they prefer to keep their life as it is,only with exceptions being made and under review as they occur.Eventually Maurits and Marilène might represent more while the older generation retires more and more...all being in their 70's at present.And it will take at least another 9 years,as we all know,before any of the three Princesses are availeble for solo representation.For all the Obvious reasons Friso and Mabel will not represent.

He has a lot of family photos on his desk, and one with Nelon Mandela. I wonder what the flag with autographs is all about. It seems that this is still his old office. On one of the walls is a famous painting of Queen Beatrix by Märthe Röling.

Edit: the flag is a gift from Astronaut André Kuipers who took it with him in space. The signatures are of Kuipers and the rest of his team.

Nice to see that former PM Piet de Jong attended too! Let's hope that the megalomanic lion was only there for the opening.
