TH Prince Pieter-Christiaan and Princess Anita are also looking around for housing at the Horsten Estate it appears.A real Royal compound.
HM is the sole owner of the estate,inherited from Queen Juliana who in turn had inherited from Queen Wilhelmina who in turn purchased it
from Fürstin Marie of Wied,néé Princess of Orange Nassau and daughter of Prince Frederik,a son of King Willem I,and the most charming of family members in the 19th century dutch RF,a mediator par excellence.He lived to see wee Wilhelmina in 1880.Anyway,PC and Anita are looking at the estate too now.

The prince was actually in NYC to participate in the marathon, which he completed within 3 and a half hour. Blauw Bloed has an interview with him about it. Apparently he also participated in a Dutch meeting of runners before the marathon, where they exchanged tips.

Does anyone know if Princess Anita is related to the late Robert Floris van Eijk, the second husband of Princess Christina of Hesse (and therefore also to his brother, the late architect Aldo van Eijk, and their father, the philosopher Pieter Nicolaas van Ejik)?

So maybe they also attended the Grand Prix itself.
I've accidently spotted them in the background of the pictures and couldn't find any better ones, so I guess
the press didn't notice them at all

Princess Anita attended the opening of an exposition by Miguel Arregui, in Amsterdam. It seems that she drove her car against something while she was parking.

A statement has been released that Princess Anita currently is in the USA for a specialized research
related to neurological symptoms, no further details. Prince Pieter-Christiaan is with her, so they did
not attend today's charity event with the rest of the family.

This must be serious, but I do hope she will be fine and I wish Princess Anita a speedy recovery!

antonieta · #**214** 09-13-2011, 07:29 AM

I wish Princess Anita get´s a speedy recovery too.

**Marengo** · #**215** 09-13-2011, 09:56 AM

Some articles say that she is only in the US for research after 'neurological complaints' and not for a treatment (others state that she is following a treatment indeed). The RVD will not reveal the exact nature of the complaints.

Thats very good news. Curious though, could such surgery not be performed in The Netherlands?

As Cedars Sinai Medical Center is a very specialized institution they choose to have the op there.The leak is something rather rare to happen spontaniously and takes a specialised team to "repear",the best plummers in that field as the op was complex.

Our Neuro surgeons are top of the bill too,don't worry,but this option was choosen by the couple.OK,if it helps,all is permitted...

BeatrixFan · #**219** 09-30-2011, 04:29 PM

Poor Princess Anita! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

But they went to the USA on advice of their dutch neurologist.
