Thanks for pointing that out, it was rather late when I posted this, hence the mix up . I have changed the title of the thread.

Are you referring to the wording "pay a visit"? It simply means "visit" or "do a visit", nothing to do with pay = money. That's just the expression.
So I guess the taxpayer will pay the money, as always

Not too sure what to think of Máxima's outfit - it looks like one of her leopard print dresses with a jacket worn over it. Her hat is great though

Funny JessRulz. I think Maxima looks good, but she's looked better. I too like the hat. Hope she wears more vibrant colors though.

I do not like what she is wearing, some sort of jacket with a bow/knot tied in front and I always have considered animalprints rather tacky/common even on a princess.
