I would love to see pictures from this event
Gifset of the investiture.
I think she was absolutely stunning that day.
One of Juliana's hobbies was amateur acting. And in this case it came in handy as she acted all surprised by Beatrix' announcement, but she actually signed the royal decree about it herself, a few days earlier. So it shouldn't have been all that surprising...
Haha, okay I see.One of Juliana's hobbies was amateur acting. And in this case it came in handy as she acted all surprised by Beatrix' announcement, but she actually signed the royal decree about it herself, a few days earlier. So it shouldn't have been all that surprising...

What tiara did Queen Beatrix wear at her investure?

The then prime minister Dries van Agt thinks that the issues during this day might permanently have damaged his relationship with queen Beatrix. In an interview that was taped 7 years ago but only released today after his death (by euthanasia together with his wife) he explains that he had a somewhat difficult relationship; he thinks that is mostly due to how the inauguration day went and speculates that because of this he never was made 'Minister of State' (an honorary title with the style of Excellency granted by Royal Decree to former politicians with an impressive state of service) - normally former prime ministers do receive this title at some point (but for example also princess Marilene's father -as former Minister of Foreign Affairs and former European Commissioner- is a Minister of State).
What exactly happened during inauguration day? Thanks in advance.
