What I found more curious is that I did not see pictures of Princess Irene, Pricness Christina or any of their children. I didn't see the Prince of Orange either btw.

Another thing that I find curious is that they are slightly secretive about these christenings. Princess Annette was overheard saying 'how did you know that the christening was today?' (the press knew as they were at het Loo the day before and saw signs for the staff saying that the palace was closed on sunday due to a christening). It would be nicer if they would just announce a week before or so that the christening will take place so the royalty watchers who want to go there and take a look can see them.
Nice to see that Maxima drove her own car btw, I don't think I ever saw her behind the wheel.

Is everything well with Bernhard? His appearance could make one believe he is not well. I hope I am wrong.

He is doing ok at the moment,allthough he was diagnosed with Crohn´s disease not too long ago and even underwent surgery for it.
He did loose weight,yes,and he has a kind of rugged look with the facial hair.other then that,he´s OK.

such a happy family, it's great to see them together at these big family reunions. i love how they all generally attend and bring the kids along. ariane and magali are everyday cuter and the other children seem to be growing so fast!
not too sure about poor alexia and her green and fucsia dress. poor her... i wonder what maxima was thinking. on the contrary, amalia looks lovely. nice to see aimee out and about. it's a shame anita couldn't attend, but i guess she must be at the late stages of her pregnancy.

Indeed carlota, prince Pieter-Christiaan commented about his wiffe's absence to some journalists, she indeed preferred to rest at home in Noordwijk and is almost due.

About Alexia's dress: maybe she wanted to wear it herself and didn't stop nagging until she was allowed to... children that age can be very persistant  .

What I love about the photo's is how close the family members seem to be. I saw pictures inside the church where Alexia is standing with Princess Annette and where Countess Leonor is sitting on Prince Maurits knee. They seem like a really connected family

Queen Beatrix and Maxima lead royal guests at family christening
Whoever writes these royalty articles for Hello needs to be fired. Count how many mistakes are in this article about the christening.
Apparently Maxima is Bernhards sister in law and her oldest daughter is 4 year old Catherine

I have really enjoyed seeing the photos of this event. This family is very large, yet they seem to be very close. I love seeing photos of the children together. I would imagine that the young children love to spend time with their cousins. Does anyone know if the children of Laurentiene, Maxima, and everyone else are close? Do they spend time together?
