Thanks you so much for pics.

According to the Benelux Royals MB Constantijn and Laurentien will go to the wedding of Charles & Camilla.

CP Willem Alexander and Maxima aren´t invited...I´ve to say this is getting really weird. Willem is not invited, Haakon is and will go, and Frederik is too, but won´t go. Whoever has planned the wedding...he/she isn´t the smartest person

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

I think it'd be better if Prince WA and Princess Maxima attend the Wedding.

the RVD states that the POO is not ivited to the wedding of the POW. St. James Palace states that the POO IS invited :S
Victoria is invited but declined as well.

Laurentien's dress really does resemble Letizia's red dress worn at Frederick and Mary's wedding. Hmm ... both events took place in Denmark. Maybe red is the colour of choice in Denmark?

I wonder who designed Laurentien's red dress? Does anyone know?

the RVD states that the POO is not ivited to the wedding of the POW. St. James Palace states that the POO IS invited :S
Victoria is invited but declined as well.

Pfffft, what a terrible acronym. POO. POW sounds so powerful.

Anyways, I think it's interesting that even royal houses get confused regarding mail. I can't imagine where that little wedding invitation may be...maybe floating around in Europe.

I doubt Charles neglected to invite the crown prince couple of the Netherlands- they're more important than Constantijn-the little brother of the CP. Although, it's too late now. Isn't his wedding April 8th?

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK - APRIL 02: HRH Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands and HRH Princess Laurentien arrive at the Once Upon A Time gala performance, the main event of the Hans Christian Andersen Bicentenary Celebrations, at the Parken Football Stadium on April 2, 2005 in Copenhagen, Denmark. To celebrate 200 years since the Danish storyteller's birth, the Danish national soccer stadium is transformed into a fairytale universe featuiring a choir, ballet dancers, acrobats and singers. The series of celebratory events includes exhibitions, ballets, music, film, television and theatre to mark the anniversary.


Isn´t the "frog king" a fairy tale of the brothers Grimm? Well, with a little fantasy you can also interpret "the little Mermaid" into Laurentien´s style

Yes, "The Frog Prince", is a Brothers Grimm tale. While I like Laurentien, I think this design is reminiscent of Olivia Newton John's famous black outfit in Grease. I think green suits her though (maybe not exactly this type), and she looks happy, so that is the main thing.

Thanks lots for pics.So lovely Princess Laurentien.

Thanks for posting GrandDuchess! I was looking at a few other photos of the two of them at the wedding, and I think she looked fabulous today.

Love the heels...

 

[Marengo]

A nice outfit but as coco chanel said: cover up those knees. It would have made the outfit more elegant I think. Longer gloves/sleeve as well I think.
