Queen Paula.... sigh... One would think that after almost 50 years ANP would get her name right at least.

I wish that she would dreses with a bit more color. Oh well. She seems like a nice enough person, but a bit plain on many occasions I guess. A Queen should stand out in a crowd. Not blend into the backgrond.

The dress is wrinkled too, sadly. I never had the impression that Paola actually likes her 'job'. I think she would prefer to be at home gardening or baby sitting her grand children. Can't blame her actually for that actually.

Happy Birthday King Albert II. By the way I read that there will be a concert with all? of the members of the family attending, I'm guessing that includes Prince Laurent + family as well as Princess Astrid + kids.
