When she left the bus she was welcomed by a lady holding a flamingo.But the Princees immediatly said oh how nice,I have a parrot at home,a redtail....Grijze Roodstaart...sorry...But he can´t sit on my shoulder because he bites my ears.....And he goes for my ear jewellery,looking very greedy...

...I can see images of a screaming parrot taking off with a pearl or two....

Love that quote by the Princess!

Oh dear. I hope she will be well!

[Somebody]

I wonder whether one of the many people she met during her trip to (or on her way back from) Curacao infected her.

[Blog Real]

Oh dear. I hope she is okay and has no symptoms of the disease. A good recovery.

She decided to get tested because she had (light) symptoms.

She is fully vaccinated (including booster shot) so most likely it will remain mild (but no guarantees of course for anyone and she is in her 80s).

Wishing the Princess the very best.

Wish the Princess a speeding recovery.

Considering the high infection rates in the Netherlands perhaps it is more likely that it happened in the Netherlands. Let's hope that she will recover soon and that she did not infect others on the island.

I wonder whether Princess Beatrix has the Omicron variant? That has been found in the Netherlands.

It is dangerous to leave Europe these days and certainly when you are in the 80ties.

Could be. My thinking was that she met lots and lots of people during her trip while she most likely doesn't meet as many people while going about her daily life in the Netherlands - especially knowing that the infection rates are high.

Rather unlikely. The number of identified omikron infections runs in the 10s while the daily number of infections is over 20.000.

According to the king his mother is doing really well; there is nothing to worry about. She thought she had a cold due to the air conditioning in the tropics but ended up testing positive for Covid but no major issues.

Good news for Princess Beatrix , she is out of isolation.

That is indeed good news!

So lovely to hear this.
