HM the King
HM the Queen
HRH princess Beatrix
HRH prince Constantijn
HRH princess Margriet
professor Pieter van Vollenhoven
In case these 7 Royals are unable to attend HM has the option of asking:
HH prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven
HH princess Marilene of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven
HH prince Bernhard of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven
HH princess Annette of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven
In case he gets really desperate he could ask his aunts:
TRH princess Irene and princess Christina.
The Dutch monarchy has decided to limit the actual active members of the Royal House even more than in the previous generation. So With his mother, aunt and uncle slowing down a bit his brother Constantijn and his wife Laurentien are less used than Margriet and Pieter were in his mother's reign.
Would the King ask his brother and sister-in-law to step in more often they would certainly do so.

: I remember the Dutch ambassador to South

: I think that hit the nail right on the head.
: Being close relatives of the Dutch king
: obviously prompts a 'turn a blind eye' or
: 'look the other way' reaction from the Dutch
: government when the BP brothers are engaged
: in efforts to undermine the head of State of
: a close friend and fellow EU country.

: However, there appears to be no official
