QuoteKing Willem-Alexander will wear the fur robes worn by his mother at her investiture when he is sworn in as monarch on April 30, the Volkskrant reports on Monday.

The ermine mantle itself will undergo restoration before the ceremony, the state information service told the paper.

The garment dates from 1948 and is a 'bad copy' of the original worn by Willem I, founder of the Dutch monarchy, at his coronation in 1815, art historian Dieuwke Grijpma told the paper.

Always be yourself.  Unless you can be a unicorn.  Then always be a unicorn.
