Those leather gloves are absolutely amazing! The Princess looks so elegant and makes an amazing statement in those gloves!

[leene]

She has beautiful hair!! She looks amazing. Like the dress, don't like the gloves

[Hendrik-Jan77]

Is it just the shape of her dress or could she perhaps be showing the first signs of a pregnancy?
I just looked at several pictures of Princess Mabel at this event and I wouldn't be surprised if we would hear some happy news shortly...
I don't want to start rumours, but I would be delighted if it proved to be true.
I always expected her and Prince Friso to have a third child and the Princess will be 41 in August, so there is not much time left for her...

Somebody can give me more details about this cover? I hope this news will be only gossip.

What else do you think it is?It is absolute nonsense,but it sells and those creeps will do anything to make an extra buck as long as there's a certain breed believing all the crap,no,worse,they thrive on it.Disgusting,I have always strongly disliked that sort of pulp.

Have a nice sunday.

Story = absolutely NOT credible when it comes to the RF. They are the worst gossiprag we have here in H, together with Party.
Story loves writing lies about the RF and know little shame in doing so.

Please excuse my ignorance, but is Nicole the sister of Princess Mabel?

I love Victor's jacket! Fabulous!

This looked like a very lovely event. Do Friso and Mabel plan to visit their families while in Amsterdam?

[JessRulz]

Yes, Nicoline Wisse-Smit is one of Mabel's sisters. I loved Mabel's dress, it was Mabel without being too Mabel, if you get what I mean. I also think that Mabel and Friso annual attendance at this event is excellent, helping to raise awareness for such a worthy cause.

Congratulations to Prince Friso! I must say, I am very impressed with the resume that Lucien has posted. To graduate Cum Laude with a double major, especially one that consists of two of the most difficult subjects, is next to impossible. He must be a very brilliant man.

Not the same year sorry,but the next was when he majored in Economics,he did study both Space Sciences and Economics simultaniously tho.
In 1997 he studied one year at INSEAD,Fontainebleau,the European Institute of Business Administration where he obtained his MBA.

Yes,he is the wizzkid of the family,oh well,here:

The Dutch Royal House

His work,past and present:

The Dutch Royal House

Impressive on all accounts still,indeed.

Thanks, Lucien! You are right. He may not have studied these programs simultaneously, but it still incredibly impressive. Prince Friso seems like a very intelligent person.

[Turkish Delight]

Thanks for the information, lucien.

Oh but he did study both simultaniously,he just graduated in Space Sciences a year before he graduated in Economics.

Air & Space Sciences in Delft from 1988 to 1994.
Economics in Rotterdam from 1990 to 1995.

He had a beautifull house along a canal in the center of Delft at the time,
across the canal from the Old Church where he and Princess Mabel married.

He was THE "talk of the town",the brains everyone envied,
an amazing,and down to earth,talent and,a smart looker at that time.....
