This thread has now been cleaned up.

Beatrix was a very exuberant looking princess!

It would be great to see new additions to this thread as Queen Beatrix is marking 25 years as Queen this month.

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Thanks lots for these lovely pics.

[Marengo]

Wow, I really like that first sideportrait of Beatrix! She was an attractive woman IMO... Thanks for posting them PrincessBeatrix!

[Maxie]

Yes, she really was lovely (she still is, but in another way).
Sometimes Victoria of Sweden reminds me of the young Beatrix (in the last pic, for instance). I think it has something to do with the smile. :) Let's just hope that Vicken won't develop a helmet the next few years.

[Princess_Beatrix]

Gosh the Helmet on Viktoria! Never!
But I really cannot imagine Beatrix without the Helmet anymore.
Beatrix used to look really "girly" in the 60s.

She looks SO different! But i like this "without-helmet" air
Thanks, Marengo and Her_Majesty!

[Sister Morphine]

She is a lovely, lovely woman but she could do with a hair makeover.

[*SofiaM*]

I wonder why she doesn't have her hair like in the pic posted by marengo? I think it looks much better. Then again, it would be strange to see her like that.
Great pics btw, Beatrix has always looked younger than she is IMO
