I wonder if the çeremonial occassions where WA will wear these uniforms will only be related to the military or also at events like Prinsjesdag and state visits. We will see that soon enough I guess.

Yes it is nice as I had also thought he could not wear a military uniform since he became King,many thanks for Tommy100 for clarifying and looking up the information.
