With Princess Mabel!

[Marengo]

Sadly she wasn't able to borrow an iron from Mabel.

But good to see them together, and it must be nice for Mabel to have some disctraction.

[Artemisia]

It's really wonderful to see Mabel again.
I will always appreciate how the entire family closed their ranks to support Mabel and the girls in these difficult times.

[countess felicitas]

I know this might not be exactly the right thread here - but nevertheless.
Just saw the pictures of Pr. Maxima attending the Royal Concertgebouw orchestra in London - and Pr. Mabel was there too.

I have to confess i was almost shocked when I saw Mabel - she looks extremely thin and really frail. I am so sorry for her and the family and would like to express my symphathy in this difficult situation.

[Marika86]

I'm glad to see Mabel and Maxima attending an event together after what Mabel is going through in these months.
