Princely House of Lippe

[Marengo]

700 people attended the funeral. The article shows a picture of Princesss Traute, the widow of Prince Armin, escorted by her son:

The former prime minister of Nordrhein-Westfalen said: "we pay tribute to a great man".

The Dutch royal family was not represented:

How shabby.

Princess Traute ist still alive. Only her husband Pricne Armin has died in 2015. Prince Armin and Princess Traute where also invited to the funeral of Prince Bernhard. Don't remember if also Prince Stephan and Princess Maria. At that time Prince Armin also gave an Interview to german TV sharing his memories from the Wedding of Juliana and Bernhard where was a Pageboy.

Yes the dates with Traute are my wrong ctrl+v.

I will never understand why four Dutch royals went to the memorial mass for Prince Kardam of Tirnovo in Madrid but that no single one of the four born Princesses zur Lippe-Biesterfeld in the Dutch royal family travelled to Detmold to attend the funeral of the Chef from their genealogical fürstliche Haus....

Is it known why they have received the order of merit? Conservation of Detmold castle perhaps?

Edit:

They received the order due to their engagement with the Red Cross.
