I wonder how Irene got on with her formidable mother in law,Princess Madeleine de Bourbon-Busset,she sounds like an 'interesting' read!

The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Wedding Wednesday: Princess Irene's Gown

At first I thought this gown was boring, however I now think it's a very lovely wedding dress. Love the lace details on the top. Not one of my favorites but still, it's a very beautiful and elegant wedding gown.

It really was a beautifull wedding gown...and remained so even after it got ripped by the crowds upon leaving the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore on their way to an Audience with HH Pope Paul VI.

The lace was from the Royal House Collection and attributed to Queen Mother Emma,her great-grandmother.

In a six hour exchange at the Soestdijk Palace, Princess Irene and Prince Carlos Hugo made it plain that they expected a lavish Roman Catholic wedding in the Protestant Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam.
They wanted all members of Europe's royal families invited.
Queen Juliana would not sanction the wedding.

An Ard Ri, This statement came from A Dark History: The Kings & Queens of Europe written by Brenda Ralph Lewis.

I do not know where you get this information from (an old newspaper perhaps), but I fear that it is incorrect. Esp. the part about the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, the last Orange-princess of the main line to marry away from The Hague was princess Amalia of Orange-Nassau, who married the hereditary margrave of Baden-Durlach in Leeuwarden (Frisia) in 1727. Beatrix was the first member of the family that got married in Amsterdam (in the Wester church, not the New church btw).

I've never heard that before,if they were to marry in Amsterdam my choice would be the Catholic Basilica of Saint Nicholas,which is the largest RC church in Amsterdam.

Wouldn't put too much trust in a book that is advertised with the phrase "beneath the splendor and sophistication of the monarchies of continental Europe are tales of scandal, mystery, and skullduggery."
Maybe you should start to add the source to all the little quotes you post on these forums, because imo it makes a world of difference were a quote originates from..

Empress Zita was there. But the reigning houses did not send representatives as far as I know. The page boys were the sons of the groom's eldest sister and Pss Diane de Merode helped the princess with her veil. Diane's maternal grandmother was Css Gabriëlle Gontaut-Biron, née Css Bourbon-Busset - a sister of Dss Madeleine.

Among the other guests were the duke and duchess of Bragança, Archduke and Archduchess Robert, count and countess Charles Louis de Cossé-Brissac, a prince and princess [newspapers refer to 'the' Prince and Princess] of Liechtenstein, the Duchess Medina-Sidonia and the Duchess of Osuna. Various other French nobles were mentioned, some of them relatives of Dss Madeleine.

The newspapers reported that the Belgian court said they were absent to respect the wishes of the couple and the private character of the ceremony. Though another newspaper reports that Prince Xavier had moved heaven and earth to settle King Baudouin's attention on one of his daughters, which lead to the family not being very much appreciated at the Belgian court. The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg and her family were reportedly absent out of solidarity with Queen Juliana. Though one newspaper mentions that Prince Felix wanted to go but the Lux. government fully supported his wife on the matter. Other reigning houses were not mentioned in the papers.

Outside of the immediate family and Empress Zita other members of the extended Parma clan were not mentioned. I suppose the Duke and Duchess of Calabria were not there for example.
