Koningsmantel (Netherlands)



The royal mantle (Koningsmantel) of the Netherlands is worn only by the Dutch monarch at their inauguration. As the Dutch monarch is never crowned but inaugurated, its more appropriate to speak of a royal mantle than a coronation mantle.

The royal mantle of Netherlands is a red velvet trimmed coat lined with white ermine and 83 Dutch lions embroidered with gold threads.

It was last worn at the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander.
