Somehow king Felipe's beard (visually) makes him more of a statesman while I would argue the opposite for king Willem-Alexander.

I have the same feeling, for some reason to me K.Felipe's looks distnguished, K.W-A's looks scruffy

I like it that the King maintains the dresscode, even when it is just an in-between investiture. He himself changes in jacquet and the Court expects the same from the male authorities. You do not see that anymore in other European monarchies. Only in Japan the ministers change in jacquet as well.
