I have read it in the newspaper a few days ago that they were planning to go. But they labelled it as a private visit and the royals did not attend the reception afterwards as was the original plan due to the recent death of prince Friso.

My knowledge about protocol and courtesy is fine, thank you... No reason for you becoming arrogant!
I just didn´t realise these people were from the Inauguration committee.

Another change: usually this concert was at Noordeinde Palace, a few days before Queen's Day ánd more high brow. I am not sure if I like the change but I am sure that many people will.

At the time many referred to a tomato, but it looks much better this time around IMO.

Anyway... the biggest stir was caused by Princess Beatrix & her hair: it moved.


An image was immidiately shown in the largest boulevard programme we have and in several newspapers: the message was that the former queen can finally relax a bit.

Although Prince Jaime is not a member of the Royal House, isn't it unusual for a member of the extended royal family to be appointed for a public office ? I thought Dutch ambassadors to foreign countries were generally career diplomats.

HRH Prince Jaime de Bourbon Parma IS a career diplomat employed by the Dutch Foreign Office,ofcourse.
