Very Very Beautiful Pictures Of Netherland Royal Family In Turkey They Looks So Nice & So Fresh and Very Nice Smiles , Thank you All For Posting
 
TBH, considering the palace has been quite nicely restaured 2 years ago, you would think that somebody would have the sense to make some better grouppictures during these state visits. The grouppictures are looking quite odd and aren't very flarrering on anybody. And another pity is that we can't see full pictures of the ladies dresses.

I wish Máxima would put her hair up when she is wearing a tiara and perhaps would easy up on the amount of make up that she uses.

There were an extrordinairy amount of security measures for the Turkish president btw. No people were allowe don balconies etc. around Dam square.
