Thank you, lucien!

Here are some more galleries from yesterday:

** dpp: Dutch King and Queen New Year reception 2016 **


The strange sounding French caption of the parismatch gallery ("Máxima adopts the Prince of Wales") is referring to the coat Máxima is wearing, inside the article it's called a "coat with a Prince of Wales pattern"

The king looks like he has a new haircut and it suits H.M.

[Marengo]

I am not sure if it is a new hair cut or that the hair is simply still wet. Whatever it is, it looks better indeed.

It looks new AND wet, I would say

Today, January 13, the second New Year's Reception took place:

No time for nice coats when it's cold, lol.

[cepe]

Is this them arriving prior to the event because last year W-A wore a morning suit

Or has it been "downgraded"?

The majority of the pics are arrival pics, later some pics of Princess Margriet and Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven's departure were added.

Strange that "retired" Margriet & Pieter do attend these receptions but that Constantijn & Laurentien never do. I think the policy is that in less than 5 years the Princess of Orange will attend, so the old generation is bridging to the new generation.

[Marengo]

I suppose they have their regular jobs to attend to?

They do not have nine to five jobs and every workplace will understand absences because of their position in the Royal House. Note that all attendants at the New Year's Reception have jobs as well. From a representation of the Netherlands Railways to a representation of the Trade Unions. From a delegation of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to a delegation of the Netherlands Opera and Ballet. All of them have jobs as well. All are attending the New Years' Reception. The CEO of Netherlands Digital Platform (Constantijn) can not attend?

Wasn't it a rumor that there is friction between the royal couple and their brother and sister-in-law?
