By the look of Amalia I can tell she's not such a fan of Geer....But on 2nd glance she grants him a smile....
any news about a possible festivities for WA and Maxima's 10th wedding anniversary? maybe they will release some family pictures.
Mathilde and Phillip did a photoalbum, Mette-Marit and Haakon did some festivities with other royals for concert/dinner.
i wonder if Maxima and WA will do any kind of celebration. 10th wedding anniversary is a wonderfull celebration.
has it been announced when WA, Maxima and the girls will have their annual photosession? i guess this year will be in wassenar. maybe in the middle of July?
Last weekend the family visited the floriade in Venlo. A picture by royalfanvivian:

Tiggersk8 said:Oh, and because I know I'll be asked, who are the "elves" w/Sinterklaaus? I really don't know the Dutch traditions as well as I used to, as when back in the day my friends' Mom, who is a Dutch immigrant to Canada, used to come to our school every year to explain them to us. That, however was almost 30 odd years ago, so...If some of our kind Dutch posters could please refresh my memory, thank you!!!

A nice and funny facebook group about "without beard no king", refering to the beardless Prince Willem-Alexander:

General question on WA. On another site they were discussing his merits as a future king and one poster commented that he was very tall and towered over most people he met which surprised me. I know the Dutch as supposed to be the tallest Europeans but just how tall is WA?
Prince Felipe is apparently 197cm according to wikipedia and although there is no height noted for the Prince of Orange, in a picture with the Prince of Asturias Willem Alexander looks about 10 cm shorter.He is quite tall, don't know how tall.
There is a thread somewhere here on the Forums discussing the length of Royals, it surely would have been mentioned there. I'm posting tjis with my mobile, so I can't look it up for you.
I am not sur if this is true , may be somebody in the forum could verified.
I was told that the news in Argentina mention that Maxima invited her 4 best friends to Holland to spend some time with her before she becasme a Queen. is this true?
I think it is so sad that her father cant be there. I know what he supposedley was involved in is horrible to say the least, but my goodness, he is an old man whos daughter is becoming a Queen and he has grandchildren who Im sure he would want to spend time with. I know there is no forgetting the past but in my opinion there should be some kind of compromise made during this incredible moment in the life of his daughter. Just my opinion.
