I don't normally like much of what she wears, but I really liked her blue gala dress and also the orange outfit. I agree she almost "has" to wear a large tiara because her hair is so big.

Wow! What's happened??? I think this is the best the Queen has looked in quite a while. I know it's not to everyone's taste but I think her style suits her (even her hair) and she has looked good on every occasion. Something tells me she HAS had a peek at this forum...

Oh, almost forgot - is it me, or is there a real radiance about her, as if she REALLY is enjoying this trip?

Well I believe the Queen and the President get along wonderfully, already at the visit of the president to The Netherlands last year. A televisionprogramme stated that the president received the Queen on the airport, which was something exceptional in her case.

She did look fabulous. I liked all of her hats - even the "dead bird" one!!
More importantly, I liked the fact that she really seemed relaxed & to be enjoying herself. I think she represented her country wonderfully.

Yes, that's the one! That photo reminded me of the first pic I'd seen some time ago and thought was rather striking. However, I thought she was smiling but obviously my memory fails me. You're on the ball!

I read in the newspaper that the last visit of the Queen lasted half an hour longer then planned. When she rove away the Queen noticed a remembrance statue for the people who were lost at sea. The Queen decided to get outr of the car and lay her bouquet of flowers at the feet of the monument. The president was moved by this gesture as her father was lost in the sea.
