Henri, though your dislike of the role of the Van Vollenhovens is rather obvious (you have always been honest about it), but I highly doubt that they aren't taken seriously as royalty. YOU don't take them seriously, but please don't project those feelings on the rest of the Dutch population. IMHO much more people take Mabel and Friso not seriously and talk about them as the laughing stock of the RF.

I really appreciated seeing the youtube video with the tango and Maxima's tears - very poignant. I was a bit taken aback that the accordionist looked so much like David Brent in "the Office"!

Smile Princess Maxima's wedding dress

Hello everybody! I'm Francesca from Italy. I'm writing just to let you know that I visited the beautiful exhibition dedicated to the great maestro Valentino and his wonderful dresses. Between the dresses designed by this great stylist there was also the beautiful wedding dress wore by Princess Maxima on her wedding day. There's no need to tell you the emotion I felt when I saw the dress so close in all its magnificence. Here is the photo. I took this photo with my camera. It is part of my personal photo collection.

I think it was a really ugly dress.
The fabric looked cheap and shiny and it was just ill fitting. Didn't like the veil either or the star tiara for that matter. And I know, the dress is Valentino, but I still truly think it is one of the worst royal wedding gowns.
