Dutch State Visit to Argentina: March 30-April 1, 2006

[Squidgy]

In defence of the Queen, her hats are like her hair: a trademark of sorts; even if you see a siolhouette of her, you know it's the Queen. They tend to command a certain air about her...a regal presence, if not a dominating one. I think they are ideal for a female sovereign in a (still pretty much) male-dominated world: strong, bold and eye-catching (and holding, really...)!

Besides, they seem to be very aerodynamic a well (some of them almost UFO-like) - when last did ANYONE see her losing her hat in the wind???

Well said Fraxales! I'm glad to see that there is yet another person who appreciates the artistry of Queen's hats!

Yes, I'm totally with you! Earlier this state visit I even stated they were art and thus not understood by most people!

Well, I just have to say: Maxima looked smashing! Wow! What a great dress! And the necklace of the Mellerio ruby parure also looked great on her.

any fotos of Amalia and Alexia?

This is an official trip and even though Amalia and Alexia are also in Argentina, they won't be part of any of the pictures or activities the Queen, Willem and Maxima go on.

I have loved every one of Maxima's outfits and hats! My favorite one being the opera gown...just lovely!!

 

[Amber26]

Are there any pic's without mark's

When Amalia and Alexia stay at their grandparents' house in Argentina do they have a number of bodyguards that stay there also? What about a nanny?

 

[EmmieLou]

^ I would say they have a nanny stay and a few bodyguards.

Maxima has looked truly wonderful throughout this trip. The outifts, jewels hat, the smile! I have to agree with Popy though, I'm not a fan of her shoes with that dress.

 

[crisiñaki]

I absolutely loved Maxima look on the gala in the Colon theather, she looked amazing from head to toe and her necklace was exquisite

a question about protocol

Anybody knows why Maxima didn´t sign the argentinian hymn at the Colon Theatre last night? I was there with many dutch people who live in Argentina and we were all surprised when she only sang the dutch hymn. I believe she did it on purpose but I don´t know why.

gracious! beatrix's magenta outfit is awful. its so dumpy and matronly. she has been sporting such great looks the past few years. i thought she had left her fuddy duddy style of the 90's behind her.

oh well. does anyone think she hasnt been looking so happy this tour? a little tired and stressed out.

maxima looks great in this outfit. its very audrey hepburn. the hat could be a little smaller imo but its not bad. and her makeup is well done too.

She was there in her capacity as a member of the Dutch royal family, not as an Argentine.
