Princess Irene having a tour through a forest close to Breda. I believe she is acting as a tour guide to highlight her initiative to get more people into nature. In the interview she says that more than 70% of the Dutch chidren spen less tan ONE day per year in 'nature' (!):

Blogger Anna Walraven had an interview with princess Irene, who confesses that she still gets nervous when she has to speak in public. The interview is mainly on sustainability and such.

Apparently it was commemorated that it was 70 years ago that The Hague was liberated. The princess looked lovely in red:

So she now joins Margarita and Floris along with their families on the Wassenaar estate. Is there anyone else from the Dutch royal family who is living there besides the King and his family?

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

I did not know the Duke of Parma and his family live in The Hague, in the Archipel (or East-Indies) District. It is a 19th C district with lots of large mansions, often housing Embassies and offices. In which street does the Duke live?

This is Princess Irene's house in Wijk bij Duurstede, here a picture from the garden. She now has a new house near the royal domain De Horsten in Wassenaar. No picture yet. The Princess also owns houses in South Africa and in Switzerland, by the way.

I remember an interview with Princess Irene in (I think) Hello! Magazine years ago and she was living in a bungalow somewhere - she was photographed in a room with white book cases and lots of books - does anyone remember this?

 

[Marengo]

Are you sure that was an interview with Irene? Margriet's house used to be a bungalow until she had it changed a few years ago. But perhaps Irene lived in one before she moved to Wijk bij Duurstede.

Oh yes it was definitely Princess Irene as it was the first time I had read about her and I was struck how she was so casually dressed and she didn't look at all as I imagine a sister of Beatirx to look! Now I think of it, the house was like a chalet bungalow.

Just after her return to the Netherlands she lived in in Laren for a while in a bungalow.
