The farewell banquet for Queen Beatrix, the Investiture of the new King, the King's Water Pageant and the banquet/ball afterwards plus the palace brunch on the third day did attract a whole fleet of royals to Amsterdam. From Camilla to Mozah. From Masako of Japan to Sophie of Liechtenstein. From Albert of Monaco to Vajiralongkorn of Thailand. Etc. This was 29 April - 1 May 2013.

I'm tearing up again - amazing speech by Norway's beloved monarch and his Queen.
Edit: The King and Queen are thanking each other and the people.

Warm and fun and the same time. They are indeed a thankful for their lives, family and friends and for the support from the Norwegian people.
I have to say to say that my respect and admiration for the King and Queen have increased a lot during these days.

Following the live broadcast, I see that many of the royals, not the reigning monarchs and spouses, but the other seems to be seated next to their partner, example:
Haakon next to Mette-Marit
Frederik next to Mary
Carl Philip next to Sofia
Not often you see this happen on royal gatherings.

Thanks for all your posts, with translated articles, historical flashbacks and facts, information about the celebrations and the live feed these days.
It has been truly wonderful and invaluable!

A wonderful photo shared by the Danish Royal family
https://scontent.fsan1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...dd&oe=59795B93
"On the royal yacht Dannebrog are H.M. the Queen, Kronprinsparret, D.K.H. Prince Joachim and princess Marie and H.M. Queen Anne-Marie here together before tonight's banquet at the opera house in Oslo."
amazing to see some of the inside of the Dannebrog
