Great pictures!!! There's no way you can fake such genuine warmth which we can see between the whole family!
great to see them together enjoying each other's company and having a good time! I suspect they still think of Friso every day so it is good for them to have some quality vacation time together and just to get their thoughts away from the problems for a little time!

It might sound silly but I just love the expression on Beatrix's face in these pictures. She looks serene, happy and content. Looking at her son and his family in a way that says "they're ready". Just my two cents!

A good idea the Queen with the Crown Princes and not with Prince Prince Constantijn and his family. By the way is the Queen skiing ?

The Queen lookes sooo relaxed, I guess, she is simply happy going to "retirement".... after seeing the Queen and also the Pope doing so, I am thinking about the "poor" other monarchs having to stay as "Captain" on board until they die. Poor guys, really, I do not envy them.

I though that they will not go skiing to Lech again since the accident...I never though I saw the Queen skiing again since what happens to his soon...

^despite the accident, they have very fond memories of the place, they even own a property in Lech. do you mean to leave everything behind in Lech and never go again? i know its sad, but we gotta keep living and move on and forward, especially with the children...
