Is she the first of the 70+ (and/or 80+) year old royals doing an activity that requires interacting with the public (children and volunteers in this case) since the pandemic started?

I think you are right, she looks so pleased to be there. Let us not forget, doing public engagements is the only life she has known. This enforced hiatus may not have been something she is keen on.

And Jantje Beton ("Johnnie Concrete") has been a project to Princess Beatrix' heart since the foundation 50 years ago. It was the time of urbanization, countless building sites popped up and the Princess made aware that children all over the Netherlands did need room to play, to discover, preferrably in green.


The logo of Jantje Beton was made by the Princess, including a bronze sculpture by her hand:
