Maxima looks great! Is there a reason why they chose to wear black? Also, what does it mean that the Queen brought Holland soil for Maxima's baby?

It's not black,Kelly,it's a very dark blue (Máxima) and a deep green (HM). 
About the soil,I think it's wishfull thinking in the turkish media,if,in any case,the baby would be born within the next 4 days,the room this would happen would be declared dutch soil for the occasion,no need for a mud pool

The Hague -> A'dam -> Oslo -> A'dam -> The Hague -> A'dam -> Rhodos -> Istanbul
On Friday afternoon the heavily pregnant Princess has driven from The Hague to Amsterdam to take the plane to Oslo, Norway.
On Friday and Saturday she did attend the festivities for the 70th birthday of King Harald.
Sunday afternoon she flew back from Oslo to Amsterdam and was driven to The Hague for a short rendez-vous with the princesses Catharina-Amalia and Alexia.
Monday morning she drove with the Queen from The Hague to Amsterdam, to take the royal flight from Amsterdam to Rhodos, Greece, for a short stay and acclimatization.
On Tuesday morning she took the plane from Rhodos to Istanbul, Turkey and has arrived Tuesday afternoon.
Already a non-pregnant person already would get deadly tired!

It seems this is a busy visit, lots to do & lots to meet. I hope Maxima would be fine doing everything on the agenda. A gala dinner tonight, lots of great pictures will be seen soon.

Yes, I think it is a Fabienne Delvigne as it looks like a spin-off from the hat she wore for the baptism of Princess Alexia (in grey, that was). She has worn this style of bird-nests a few times, also in Australia and New Zealand.
Horrible creations!
Today's hat is very poorly placed on her head and the unkempt hairdo hanging under it, geesh.... a very poor performance.
The Princess really should stick to wide-brimmed hats. These messy amateuristic-looking birdnests do nothing for her.

You never know with republics.
Remember the State Visit from Russia: no diademes, no white tie, not even black tie...

not to be snide, but I find it interesting how they always manage to incorporate a little vacation into each work visit to other countries. I'm not begrudging them this, but I do find it peculiar: when I traveled a lot for a former employer of mine, I knew better than bookend short vacation trips onto the work-related visits for private use on my employer's dime.
