No,just a few of the Palace staff as is their job,but Máxima and Alexander just had to attend a wedding & reception,fly home immediatly after that,have a nice evening with the kids,and wake up early enough and have a ball with all the Family.They do not need,nor want,halve the staff some present day plastic plebs celebs have.Besides,Alexander and Máxima find everything very inspiring what they do so that sort of lifts one up and makes one capable of doing even more.

Day after tomorrow will be the Hayday of all Haydays in relation to celebrating the Dutch Royal Family and the Monarchie,Queensday 2012.
Weather is expected to be about 20 celsius and sunny,so that sounds promising for a nation that is about to turn completely orange again while celebrating the worlds largest al fresco National party with concerts,events and picknicks,and ofcourse the Freemarkets(!!) all over the country.
Actually,festivities and celebrations already start the night before during Koninginnenacht ( Queensnight ).
A warming-up to a wonderfull & festive day:

Queensday 2012,the official birthday of HM Queen Beatrix is a day with a long history as it was,as we all know,the birthday of the late Queen Juliana and there used to be a grand defilé at Soestdijk Palace every year.As a tribubute to her mother,Queen Beatrix in her Inthronisation speech on april 30th 1980 declared this day will always be celebrated in honour of her mother.A fitting tribute indeed,in loving memory of a wonderfull Monarch,and a living tribute to the outstanding Queen Beatrix herself,who,despite personal tragedy also very much is the professional and wishes nothing to be altered but continue as much as usual as possible.We will all miss Friso and Mabel today,ofcourse,and maybe there will be many wearing a white flower as a subtle token of respect and care towards the Royal Family and especially Prince Friso.
It was a request by a dutch news site a month or so ago,to wear a white flower in support of the RF and as a sign that Friso is still with us,belongs to us,and is in our hearts.No doubt during the official welcoming speeches today there will be mentioning of the Prince at some point,maybe HM herself might mention him during her speech,but thruth is that while watching the wonderfull Queensday celebrations in Rhenen and Veenendaal,thoughts will also be with Friso,Mabel and the children in London.HM is in London with her son and daughter-in-law every weekend,or at least as often as possible as her schedule allows.
One can only admire her,and have a huge respect for her as a formidable mother,Queen and human being.
I wish all here a fantastic Queensday,and to all of you far from The Netherlands,I hope these pages will be filled with joyous pics and stories of what is already appearing to be a wonderfull sunny spring day.
A wonderfull Queensday to all!!
