There have been discussions about what alternative location will be used when they cannot use the Binnenhof but so far no decision has been made. It could be the Royal Theatre or the st James Church and possibly some other locations. Pity that the gothic hall and ballroom of Kneuterdijk Palace cannot seat the about 1000 people that will be present tomorrow.
Is it still in the Hall of Knights?. Thaought the renovation of the Binnenhof Complex has alread started.
Prinsjesdag – the third Tuesday in September – is the State Opening of Parliament.
The King travels in the Glass Coach from Noordeinde Palace to het Binnenhof. On his arrival, he is welcomed to a joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives. He delivers the annual Speech from the Throne, in which the government outlines the current state of affairs in the Netherlands and its main plans for the coming year.
After the Speech, the King returns to Noordeinde Palace in the Glass Coach. The day’s events are surrounded by pomp and ceremony.
