Monochrome and technicolour

The Dutch royal family and the Swedish royals are now at the state openings of their respective parliaments.  And their grand entrances constrasted sharply.  The new king and queen of the Netherlands arrived amidst a sea of colour while the Swedish monarchs and their children, in keeping with tradition, wore black and white.
