yes, i understand that, princess robijn.
what i meant is we rarely see the princesses on event on their own.
on queen's day, the focus is usually on the queen, maxima, or the others, and usually the princesses are accompanied by their princes.
i remembered a couple years ago, Marilene, Annete, and Laurentien was present on National Tree Day (Boomplantsdag) or something? and it's fun to see them interact.. and that's what we saw at apeldoorn yesterday..

[magnik]

They're looks like sisters - looks very similar btw.:)

[Princess Robijn]

I agree, srry I didn't realize what you meant..

Princess Margriet is very blessed to have four such down to earth and attractive daughter-in-laws who seem to get along quite well. It is great to see them all out like this. I only wish we could see them more often!
