I believe that AD Michael (of the Hungarian branch) is a friend of the princess. He is the godfather of her son Pieter Christiaan while his wife Christiane of Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg is godmother of Prince Floris.

The man in the grey suit next to Princess Margriet doesn't resemble the Archduke though. So perhaps it is Archduke Michael of Austria-Tuscany (youngest brother of the Margravine of Baden), a descendant of Sisi through ADss Marie Valerie. I have never seen a picture of him but it is the only other Michael I could find.

They have been selling out the national museum/palace as they need to attract more visitors due to budget cuts. This museum recently had an exhibition about Grace of Monaco and now this. Both having nothing to do with Palace Het Loo, the Dutch RF or The Netherlands. I suppose Pss. Diana will be next... after that maybe they can do Cleopatra.

Pieter van Vollenhoven, chairman of the 'Foundation Society and Safety' says that the Dutch policy towards soft drugs needs to change. He says that the government has to show guts and make a choice to get out of the present status quo.

There are two options to stop the present construction of tolerating the sale of soft drugs but forbid the sale to shops.
1) forbid both
2) allow both

It seems that the eldest two children of Prince Maurits also attended the event with their grandparents.

Anastasia and Lucas were both in attendance yes!Wonderfull,to pass on the tradition and warmth we here,and their grandparents, hold in such high esteem towards those that sacrificed so much during WW II.Sometimes gratefulness lasts an eternity,and it should be past on to all generations after us as Princess Margriet and our Pieter understand completely!:).
