According to royalblog.nl these pictures were meant to be released in the autumn, but due to the pedophelia upheaval the RF decided to postpone it a few months.

The pictures were taken in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam.

And more information, Boulevard magazine 'Weekend' has Marilene on the cover this week and an article about her 'untold sorrow'. According to the magazine a few years ago an unknown man rang the door and later refused to leave the house of Marilene and Maurits, while the Princess was home alone with her children. She wasn't able to call the police and the man stayed for several minutes. After this episode the security has been tightened (slightly, they aren't guarded that much I think) and when the family moved and asked the press not to publish photographs of their new house. Pictures of their old house (and that of Bernhard and Annette) appeard often in the boulevard press.

The magazine makes it sound that the couple moved because of the incident, but I don't know if that is true. My suggestion would be to move away from msterdam Zuid or Oud-ZUid because at the moment they are just asking for it (the few paparazzi we have usually camp out in Amsterdam Zuid and Oud-Zuid because a lot of well known people from television are living there).

Royalblog and GDP newspapers featured the interview with HH Princess Marilene. The Princess was present at the stand of the Rijksmuseum at TEFAF in Maastricht. She says that the 'friends of the Rijksmuseum' programme is going well, 1300 people already enrolled (and payed

). The members have to have 'heart' for the Rijksmuseum and in exchange for their donation they get 'extra' service like the magazine 'Oog' of the museum and a private tour. The princess says she is limited in the things she can do because the restauration of the museum will last 4 (!) years longer, until 2013. For now she can use the Philips wing.

The Princess says that in Maastricht more people stop and take an intensive look at her. In Amsterdam that seldom happens. She says her son Lucas is usually surprised when people recognise him, he thinks 'why do you know me but I do not know you?'.

Marilene says that she expects that Maurits and she will do something special for their 10th weddinganniversery. The couple has little public functions, the Princess doesn't regret it too much, she says she is busy enough as it is, with her job and her children.

He had me laughing there, talking about pictures of Maurits and family and showing just the monkeys

. Strange that the normal press wasn't invited but only the more popular press, RTL, SBS and the gossip mags. I am looking forward to the pictures though.
