I've never seen sleighes/sleds like that. Beautiful horses though!

I believe they have more of these sledges at the stables of palac het Loo. I remember some other ones when I visited the palace last time, and the one with the gnomes is new to me.

I believe that she had a relatively nice childhood, esp. if you compare it to that of her mother. She had some friends/class mates (carefully selected of course). Queen Juliana always had fond memories of her father, they could be 'naughty' together. But still it must have been somewhat lonely, and two parents who were ill at ease with each other might also have made her childhood more difficult.
