Not. They have to go to school this week, next saturday there will be a photosession in Lech with the family.

Thanks for the info! It's a little sad for the girls don't spend a week with their family but school duties must to be doing.
They will have next weekend to have fun in the snow with the family :flowers:

School duties are such they can skip classes,Amalia did bright as she is,bright kids get dispensation easily so they could as well
move to Austria already,the schedule is totally empty already.

I recall in Juliana's days the girls kept following lessons even while on holiday,and to not distract them then they had the lessons in the Royal train,not a fancy place I tell you,a bit of an austere sort of transportation,2nd class nowadays is more comfortable then many a Royal train.

Absolutely terrible, this shooting. It makes you wonder how on earth a person who was known to be mentally unstable is allowed to be a member of a shooting association. Apparently it was his father who was a member first, and who took his son later on.

I am afraid we will see more and more of these kind of things in the future :(.

I hope that this memorial service can help in small way to heal those affected by the tragedy. Sadly it appears that this is becoming an all too common event around the world.

I've just seen that on television.
 
Beautiful pictures :)
It's great to see Queen Beatrix with granddaughter Princess Amalia together on events.It's seems that Princess Amalia loves horses :)She already has visited several horse racing events with the Queen :flowers:

I can't wait to see a video footage from this event :)
 
When did she get so big? It feels like her parents married only a few years ago.

I must say, the future of Europe's monarchies are stunning: Amalia, Elisabeth, Leonor, Ingrid Alexandra...

Thanks for the pictures iceflower. Not the most succesful outfit, but well...

Nice to see the RF taking an interest in this group (and other performing arts) in this time of budget cuts.
