I love seeing pictures of Princess Margriet w/her "other home's" Veterans. She just shines and enjoys meeting them as much as they enjoy meeting her.

Sadly, at the rate our WWII Veterans are leaving us, these pictures very well could be the last ones of HRH w/Canadian Veterans of the Holland Liberation.

Princess Margriet has opened the exhibition ''Wilhelmina's Levensavond'' (Wilhelmina's evening of life) at the Palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn today, November 27, 2012. The exhibition shows the period of Queen Wilhelmina after her abdication, her paintings, clothes and other personal possessions.

Queen Wilhelmina had died on November 28, 1962, so I think the opening date of the exhibition was intentionally chosen.
