I really like it that King Willem-Alexander ("I am no protocol fetishist") has actually stepped up the protocol and now Ambassadors, King's Commissioners, Governors, etc. appear in jacquet.
I agree. The King is free to wear an uniform anyway but he seems to have made a strict separation in civil and military activities. Apparently he considered (considers) his Investiture, the annual Address from the Throne, the audiences to Ambassadors, etc. as a civil activity. I can follow that logic.

King Willem-Alexander received the ambassadors from Belgium, Ireland and France at Noordeinde Palace in Den Haag, today, October 1st.
