The red hat and jacket were also worn in Turkey, with a pink scarf and skirt. I liked that combination better, but for a more informal visit like this one the funny dress is highly suitable. Can't wait to see Maxima dressed up for the wedding (I like big hats), and I hope she will attend at least the tiara events for the state visits of the russian president and the king and queen of Jordan, in November.

from the first day i saw that hat and jacket in turkey i fell in love with it and was wondering when it would be that she wears those again!
the pattern of the skirt isn't my cup of tea, but i loved the detail of her combining it with the foulard....

a photo just for the curious ones: peter smulders shows as the book maxima is reading and the fruits she took with her in the car

I can't see the title of the book - can you? I'm curious as to what language it is.

Sonny Boy
 

Its a Dutch book called Sonny Boy by Annejet van der Zijl.
The story is about two lovers who face cultural differences, get involved with the Dutch resistance during the second world war and much more...., it sounds ok to read :)

Why isn't Maxima formally known as the Princess of Orange
 

On the Royal family's official website, she is referred to as Princess Maxima. How come she is not known as the Princess of Orange? Also was she made a princess in her own right, unlike Laurentien and Mabel? Could someone please answer these questions for me. Many thanks.

Mabel and Laurentien are not princesses in their own rights, Maxima is the only one who is. No official reason is given for Maxima not be named princess of Orange but I assume that the title is only for the heir. So when we have a king Willem IV, Catharina-Amalia will become the princess of Orange. to prevent her husband to become prince of Orange the title is only available for the heir and not for their spouse.

Thank You Marengo

They have either stepped in something uncomfortable :eek: , or more likely, since they are standing on cobbles, stepped in between the cobblestones, and are checking their heels for scratches! I've heard that high heels and cobbles don't work well together :)

Or chewing gum! They are nasty for shoes when you step on them.

what a great outfit. btw, this organization is for women who like to make hand made crafts like knitting and embroidery. it was recently renamed "women of today."

they would like maxima to become their patron but we'll still have to see about that. maxima told the head of the organization that she enjoys embroidery.

i wouldnt have thought....

Máxima is reading Sonny Boy- from Author Annejet van de Zijl. It's a book about love, faith, war, racism, end perseverance.

when was it published?

It looks like it was published in 2004. Here is a little synopsis of the book ...
