The Dutch Royal Family hosted Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik of Denmark on their first, and last, State Visit to The Netherlands on this day in 1975, 50 years ago, which followed the Danish State Visit to The Netherlands in 1954.

Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik of Denmark were received by Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands at the Central Station in Amsterdam before a series of Welcome ceremonies outside the Royal Palace of Amsterdam.

In the evening, Queen Juliana and the Dutch Royal Family held a State Banquet for Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik at the Royal Palace of Amsterdam.

Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
