I think the pictures of the Queen at Enschende and Volendam show what a truly human and caring person she is. One could never imagine Queen Elizabeth putting her arm around a greiving person or even showing human emotion of any kind.

I agree with you, Queen beatrix is a very warm person & not to afraid to show it at some occassions. When she is herself, not behind the royal shield of hair/hat etc.. but just Beatrix, as she was in Enschede, Volendam, Curacao ( I have no picture of this, but the queen visited the island during heavy storms & her hair got all wet by a wave & she talked to the local community..which went wild and started screaming, Regina, regina etc.) she is loved the most by the dutch & everyone is proud to have her as a queen.
I think she is the most underestimated queen (with Queen Paola), due to her discretion, lack of love for pomp & ceremony & she does not like it to be the center of attention. It is out of this modesty that she does not want to celebrate her jubilee to grand in 2005. I will not comment who are the most overestimated queens of the world, but I have never liked the fashiondoll-sort queens in some countries..
PS I hope others will post here as well.

It is the Grand Diamond &
Sapphire Parure of Queen Emma of the Netherlands, it is a whole parure, but the queen barely wears whole parures. This tiara has two parts. Mabel Wisse Smit wore the part with the diamonds at her wedding. A very intresting tiara.
