escort by the Cavalry,everything taken into account.

And,there was a mini Prinsjesdag last week,children came up with their wishes and one was proclaimed "Queen" for a short while and sat in the Hall of Knights,reading out aloud the childrens speech from the " Throne"...,actually,the Mini Queen had a chair,but...In front of the real Throne.Look what fun it was.The Children sort of wished,demand,a official council consisting of children and wish to be heard on matters regarding kids.Great!!

HM will leave the Palace at 13.00 PM local time,GMT+1

[lucien]

There was a delay due to an incident.Someone threw a glass candleholder at the Golden Coach.Therefore HM will leave the Palace later as a short investigation was carried out first.The perpetrator was arrested,a 29 year old guy from the town of Winterswijk.Infuriating,a good beating and rearranging his clockwork would be in place,I am fet up with the way too slumpy judicial system that leave others in the misconception they can do what they like especially during official events,we saw it on may 4th,Queensday last year and now this again.Enough!.They can´t,and if the Law doesn´t do enough,citizens should get together and act and pay this creeps a visit they won´t forget. I´m furious really.

HM and TRH just arrived at the Hall of Knights.

I'm hate this for the Queen's security having to deal with this creep. Here all this work goes to create this magical event,all these excited people waiting and someone has to ruin it. I'm sure everything will be alright but it must be so unnerving to the RF!!

I Love the Queen and Maxima's dresses! They look perfect for the occasion!

Oh but it is.And to all of us,god forbid but it´s almost becoming a `trend` to disrupt these occasions.Sad.

On a lighter note,during the balcony scne as we call it,people from the Twente region let a bunch of balloons up with a message attached to it reading something like `Our turn in 2011` pointing at their wish to host the HM and the Royal Family
on Queensday next year.HM and her Family were in stitchess and clearly appreciated the whole thing.Good for them!And as we say here±

Leve de Koningin!

Beautiful outfit on Princess Màxima!
It reminds me a bit of the purple outfit she wore a few years ago on Prinsjesdag, a bit 20's-30's Queen Astrid like style.
