State Visit from France to the Netherlands: April 11-12, 2023

In April the President of the French Republic, M Emmanuel Macron will bring a State Visit to the Netherlands. The President will be joined by Mme Brigitte Macron-Trogneux.

Yesterday the President was in The Hague to visit Prime Minister Mark Rutte and was happy to announce that he was "honoured" with the invitation by the King. The cooperation between the two countries is strong. It is visible in companies as Air France-KLM (550 airplanes and 70 million passengers a year) in which both countries hold 15% of the share each. Or in Stellantis, established in Amsterdam, the mother company of Peugeot, Citroën and more (280.000 workforce worldwide), in purchasing artworks together to be owned 50/50 by France and the Netherlands and to roulate between French and Dutch museums.

Both countries directly share a border on the island of Sint Maarten / Saint-Martin in the Caribbean. And of course until 1975 between the Dutch colony of Suriname and Guyane-française, until 1890 between Luxembourg and France, until 1839 directly between the Netherlands and France (today's franco-belgian border) .

State Visit from France to the Netherlands: April 11-12, 2023

At the invitation of His Majesty the King, the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, will pay a state visit to the Netherlands on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 April 2023. The President will be accompanied by his wife Brigitte Macron.

During the state visit government consultations will be held between members of the Dutch and French governments. Consultations of this kind were first held with France in March 2022 in Paris, and are intended for countries with which the Netherlands has the closest ties. During such consultations the Netherlands and France make plans for closer collaboration in the years ahead.

The French President’s visit to the Netherlands will reaffirm the excellent ties between the two counties. The state visit will help to further deepen their cooperation, including joint efforts by France and the Netherlands to make Europe stronger, greener and safer.

In 2016 the King and Queen paid a state visit to France.

I hope they will improve the dais for the cérémonie protocollaire.

When the ceremony is held in the backyard of Noordeinde Palace, the canopy over the stairs is used for the dais, like it was done for the President of France, introducing himself to the King: picture.

When it is at Dam Square, an open dais is used, when the weather is good: picture.

But last time, in rainy weather, a horrible canopy was placed on Dam Square. I really hope they find a more avantgarde solution than this: picture.

The King already has the Légion d'Honneur and Queen Máxima has the Ordre National du Mérite. It depends on the dresscode for the State Banquet if the grand decorations will be worn. The latest State Visit to Président Hollande only saw simple suit-and-tie during the Banquet at the Palais de l'Élysée.

When President Chirac visited Queen Beatrix, it was black tie on request of the French. Before Chirac, President Mitterrand wore white tie with grand decorations.

I wonder if we will see the Princess of Orange in attendance at the Gala?

My guess: - as long as the Princess of Orange is a student - we will see her attending incoming royal State Visits.

When the Princess is a "fulltime royal", we will see her at all incoming State Visits and probably joining her parents during outgoing royal State Vists.
