Maxima looks great, except for the hair. I like the hair back. It makes her look more sophiscated and sleek. Everyone is not a size 2, and Maxima's size she not be an issue.

I like the outfit. The blue/brown combination is nice, as is the necklace.
My problem is that she seems to be wearing almost no makeup and looks washed out, puffy and tired. Maybe symptoms of her pregnancy? Though that still doesn't excuse not being able to put on a little lipstick and blush!

I think one of the reasons of that is that her hear a little bit wild is on the photo's. The moment she goes back to home her hair looks good en her look is completely different!

She looks happy but very messy. She can do better than that, a (tiring)pregnancy is no excuse to wear no make-up or to wear your hair like that.
I noticed again how easily she puts on weight. It happens often during pregnancies of course, I was glad I got spared from extra training after my children were born 
Willem-Alexander looked very happy too :)

I think also that someone has done the hair and make-up in the palace. On the television she looks great with her hair up.

This thread has now been cleaned up. Unfortunately a lot of posts were removed in the process because of broken links. I hope we can update this thread -- especially since it was Amalila's first "official" engagement!

Yes, I think so. In Dutch (at the website of the DRF) it says: Zijne Koninlijke Hoogheid and Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid, which means His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness. Ofcourse I don't know a thing about styles and how that works, the only thing I know is that they are always referred to as HRH here in Holland...

yes, they're Their Royal Highnesses.
the translation must be mistaken a little bit.
they translated ZKH into Their Royal Excellency, while it should be TRH.
Princess Margriet is tranlated into Princess Daisy, and van Vollenhoven is translated into 'of the skins'.
weird... i'll try to correct it & be more careful next time.

Yes, Margriet is actually the Dutch word for daisy, so that can be explained. I heard the same for Queen Margrethe and I never thought of that, though the names are similar and come probably from the same root. But the van Vollenhoven as 'of the skins' I don't understand... what are you using? Babelfish? Those translation scripts can be quite funny... :)
