As lucien kindly mentioned above, the main purpose of the visit is the opening of the exhibition at the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum. It's great that the visit is combined with a meeting with the President - looks like Queen Beatrix being on a state visit...

Bunte claims to have a photo of the two in their paper edition, but failed to note the family connection. Let's assume that they are eager to see the princess happy - as are we all.

Tomorrow evening HRH will open the exhibition of works by Rembrandt at the Vatican Museum,Vatican:" Images from Heaven and Earth".

HM Queen Silvia of Sweden will speech at the opening which should be seen in the light of the reformation.

Rembrandt was protestant as was his father,but his mother was Roman Catholic,resulting Rembrandt had his very own interpretation of Biblical stories.

Netherlands's Former Queen Beatrix: 5 Things to Know

Nice to see Beatrix with all her grandkids. Just a sign that all the boys last generation was a fluke, reverted back to girls pretty quickly. Poor Claus, the only boy with two dusters and five girl cousins.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

It looks like such a sweet and warming card. Friso and Constantijn's children have grown up a lot. Claus-Casimir really does look outnumbered though amongst all the girls!

Bea is looking good. Her coloring is so like my mother's, who got all beige colored and washed out sort of. I think she'd do well to go a tad darker on the hair - not much, but just so she's not beige from head to toe. lol I usually never give a critique like this, but it worked well for my mother.
