I am glad they can still use parts of Noordeinde while the palace is undergoing renovations. Even though I do not like this particular room of Noordeinde, which looks more like the empty lobby of an expensive hotel than a room in a palace.

Is Noordeinde undergoing renovations as well? I missed that.

I like this blue salon very much. Not too much frou-frou but I would like to see something else. They have so many salons in the palace, why always this blue one? King Willem Alexander has also used the salon at Villa Eikenhorst to receive guests. Maybe in the future he will use that salon in Huis ten Bosch his mother always used (in front of Princess Amalia).

I like the logo with the crown. Royal Schiphol Group has developed into a conglomerate of diverse business activities and even foreign airports.

What is the Duchess doing in the Netherlands ?

I'm glad to see that "rapprochement" between the Houses of Windsor and Orange-Nassau as, in the past, the two royal houses were pretty close to each other.

Wouldn't it be cool if she extends a state visit invitation from HM the Queen? Now that would be a state visit to look forward to.

I can remember William did when visiting China. This might be wishful thinking though.

Visiting an exhibition at the Mauritshuis consisting of 20 works from the British Royal Collection ,..." van Dijck and his contemporaries " and a reception at the residence of the British Ambassador.

Then later in the day HRH will visit a project on mental healthcare in Rotterdam.
