The ambassadors will be greeted by a chamberlain of the King. The King provides each ambassador with a gala coach and, if applicable, a so-called blue carriage for the embassy staff. The carriages are pulled by two horses, and the gala carriage is led by two co-drivers in dress uniform. Two riders from the Mounted Constabulary accompany the carriages in full ceremonial dress. The dress code for the ambassadors is jacquet or national costume.
At Noordeinde Palace stands a guard of honour and a military chapel. The guard of honour consists of the 43 Mechanized Brigade. The music is provided by the Royal Netherlands Army Band Johan Willem Friso.
At the entrance of the Palace stand two honour posts of the Royal Military Police Brigade The Hague. After a salute of four drum-rolls and the national anthem of the country’s ambassador, there is an inspection of the guard of honour, after which the ambassador enters the Palace. Upon his or her departure, the ambassador receives again four honour drum-rolls.
