The Narzissen Festival Majesties and their Duties
The most exciting days are certainly those during the Narzissen Festival. Photo shoots are on the agenda at the beginning. Shortly before the festival weekend, one appointment follows the next. A photo here, an interview there. The Royals meet many nice people: from visitors to parade participants, whose preparations for parade Sunday are in full swing. During this stressful time, the Queen and Princesses are accompanied by attendants who chauffeur the Royals and look after their well-being, even carrying them on their hands if necessary. During the Narzissen Festival, the Royals stay overnight at the 4* Hotel Erzherzog Johann. Furthermore, the Royals are fully dressed and styled. The outfit, valued at approximately €2,500, is provided each year by other companies in the Ausseerland region. After the Festival, the Royal Highnesses can look forward to appearances as guests of honor at various events, such as:
- the Altaussee Kirtag
- tourism fairs at home and abroad
- meetings with other Royal Highnesses
- the Styrian Spring Festival in Vienna
- as well as TV and radio invitations.
The Royal Highnesses will, of course, also be financially rewarded for their 10 to 15 appearances throughout the year.
