The pictures are absolutely lovely. Has anyone seen any pictures from Maxima and Willem-Alexander on the ice?
I sure do love Maurits, he's so enthausiastic, just great. Everybody seems to be having a lovely time!

WA, Máxima, Margriet and Pieter

Several princesses

Mabel and Friso

The Queen has a small speech in Franeker, she called it heartwarming. She ended in Frisian with 'many thanks'.

--

I suppose the pictures of Máxima on the ice weren't uploaded on the various websites of the photo agencies, they will folow within an hour no doubt.

Fashionwise it was horrible IMO but it isn't a fashionshow of course. Very nice to see how the royals interact with the public and to see how many people turned up (esp. in Franeker).

Neon-colores-Koninginnedag 2008.

Well, first of all: Nice to see them all out and about together.
They all looked like they simply enjoyed it.

Máxima's and Laurentien's outfits make me want to protect my eyes.
It's something I'd expect the Queen of Norway to wear... but not them!
The neon-pink is way too shiny. It makes them look liek barbie-dolls.

Pictures are great. This is one of the best days of the family. They all seem to be very relaxed & shows how fun they are.
All Ladies outfits looked good.
It was great to see Maxima trying to skate in a skirt, I wonder how she managed

Well, the whole country has the day of, so the kids are not in school. But they never accompany their parents on this event. Possibly (whichful thinking) in a few years when they're a bit older, but now this would be too much for them. Maybe they have their own little party at home

What is Maxima wearing. That style of jacket does nothing at all for that dress. Good grief! And let's not talk about the brown shoes.

And the back of the Queens hat... oh my.

zarat · #58 04-30-2008, 10:47 AM

Judging by the colour of dress of 3 royal ladies (the Queen, princess Maxima and Laurentien) one could say that it's "Rose dynasty" not "Orange" ! And this time it's Mabel who's the most elegant I wouldsay....

hahaha, yes the back of the Queens had is marvelous isn't it! I was quite shocked when I saw it, while the front looks quite nice! I have to agree with you on Maxima's jacket as well, it seems to be made for somebody with much more weight, it does absolutely nothing for her figure! The skirt is really nice though!
I think of everyone I've seen I like Aimee's outfit best, she looks incredibly elegent. Margriet looks elegent as always, and Mabel looks ok for a change although the skirt is a bit too short IMO.
