Paola does not look 70!
I do wish she had worn a hat--she would have looked lovely in a matching aqua blue number

Wonderful pics. Queen Paola really does look fabulous for 70. It's nice to see the various royal children having fun together.

Queen Paola looks very good, she looks younger than 70. That seems to be the "big" royal age for this year, King Harald, Queen Sonja, and now Queen Paola! All of the children look good, the two little girls seem to be friends, which is good, and the twins were also cute, although one of them seemed to hurt his face.

And Queen Beatrix in coming January.
I hope on a grand gala event in the completely restored and refurbished giant Royal Palace Amsterdam (the Queen has ordered 40 suites/appartments to be redecorated and modernized on the third floor.

These pictures are really nice. I like it that the Belgian RF is so open in showing ALL their members, not only the children of the crownprince.

yes the girl that is sitting between the queen and prince Laurent is the second daughter of princess Astrid, Luisa Maria and at the other side of the queen sits the youngest daughter of princess Astrid, Laetitia Maria. I think Luisa Maria is becoming a real lady the way she sits.
Thank everyone for the beautiful pictures! Princess Louise is the cutest child I've ever seen  .

Thanks everyone for the great pictures, the one where Laurent grabs Louise kind of bothers me because he has such a stern expression on his face and she is such a tiny little girl. The twins are really getting cute and Nicolas is starting to get hair, wonder what was on Ameryic face?
Anyone know why Prince Filip's children were not there?

Paola looks incredibly good for 70. I hope she has a wonderful birthday even thought they won't do a big celebration like the scandinavian royal. I hope I look as good as her when I reach that age but that wont be for a while.
