Great pics! And what a great light in there, sort of golden shimmer, and the Princess looks lovely and is really sparkling! But what about that thing she's wearing? I can't say I like it, but what is it, a coat?

Maxima looks beautiful, great and soooooo pregnant But then I think , is her belly not to big for 7 months pregnant ? My sister had a belly like that a week before her child was born , and he arrived two weeks to late .Are maybe it is just a big cute baby , like Amalia:)

I like the coat and dress more at the Orange Fund event than the way she wore it on Queensday. I like the big brooch, and didn't care as much for the big necklace and earrings she wore on Queensday (or at least not with that outfit).

I also like her more with her hair loose than with the big hat.

All in all beautiful.

When the RVD says that the baby will come in July, the real due date is in June. Just like Amalia, the RVD said that the baby would come begin January 2004 and she was born 7 December 2003.
The only strange thing is that Willem-Alexander and Máxima will visit the International architecture Biënnale, 26 May

The Crown Princess looked very beautiful and elegant.Thanks lots.

Last year I already said that Maxima will have her baby before mid-july and now I´m absolutely sure.:)

[Alisa]

It's surprising to see Maxima recycle an outfit. She doesn't do so very often. She looks lovely though.

When Maxima was pregnant with Amalia she wore an outfit in the same exact color at for the same event.

I've noticed a lot of other people in the public eye do it too. Could anybody tell me why for sure?

The prince and princess tell the pers that the baby will be born in July . So in July , they will get no rest because everybody wants to know , if the baby isn't born yet . So if she delivers in june , the pers will not be around always ,because they think she's only 8 months pregnant . So she can spend her last days pregnant in comfort , wtihout pressure from outside . But I think it's not gonna work this time:) Because they said that Amalia would be born medio January , but she came a month earlier!! and she was a perfectly healty baby . It's also in Belgium . The first time , Mathilde would due in november , but Elisabeth was born on 25 ocotober , The second time , she would due in september , but Gabriel came on 20 augustus . And now , I wouldn't be suprised if she due in september :) Just like Maxima would due in june ...

Maxima's Sweet Gesture at Apples of Orange Awards
Crown Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, elegant in a soft gold coatdress fastened with a bejewelled brooch, had some sweet words for her mother-in-law at the Apples of Orange Awards at Noordeinde Palace on Thursday.

Hosting the event with Queen Beatrix, the Argentina-born royal was helping shine the spotlight on "strong women", the subject of this year's award for social programmes and activists.

"In light of tonight's theme," said the crown princess, "I believe we've found ourselves in the right place – in a palace where one of the strongest and most successful women that I've ever met works. My mother-in-law."

The queen clearly appreciated the gesture, welcoming the remark with a warm smile directed at the exhuberant expectant mum. Maxima and her husband Willem-Alexander will welcome their second child in about two months time.

aw. what a sweet gesture, I'm sure Queen Beatrix must be a very proud mother-in-law.
