Royal insignia

The royal insignia (Dutch: koninklijk distinctief)[1][2] is the military insignia specially designed for Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands for use on his military uniforms after his investiture as King of the Netherlands in 2013. The insignia depicts a globus cruciger (orb and cross) with the sword of state and a sceptre crossed behind it. The King wears the insignia on his shoulder straps in lieu of the shoulder marks used as rank insignia in the Dutch Armed Forces.[1]
