Jorge had some surgery earlier in the year didn't he? Considering his age, he might still be recovering from it

"Egmond" refers to a town near the Northsea,wellknown for its strong connotation to the history of The Netherlands.The Abbey at Egmond was one of the most magnificent,and ofcourse important ones,in what was then known as Holland.

Very interesting photos. I think it is hilarious that Maxima wore spiders on her blouse.

Princess Maxima is an example of a modern princess. She is always busy attending ceremonies, openings, flying to other countries etc..and always with a lot of enthusiasm.

It looks like the article about Maxima talks about her spider brooches. Would any of our Dutch-speakers be willing to translate? I am very curious about them.

Princess Maxima attended the opening of the Fairtrade week in Hotel Theater Figi in Zeist.
The opening has as theme ''Make Fairtrade your Business'', organized by the Max Havelaar foundation.

Ah, Holloween is celebrated by the princess too. I do believe she is one day early though

A worthy cause btw: fairtrade.

 

[sgl]

I am glad to see that she is involved in promoting fair trade. Is this a new cause for Maxima, or has she been involved in this in the past?

It is not a new cause to HRH,she has been involved in the past.

I agree that she does slightly resemble her mother-in-law! Thank you for posting the christening photos! Catharina-Amalia is getting so big. I feel like it has been awhile since we have seen the A-team.

What is the FBA? I am guessing that it has something to do with finance, but I am unable to read the article. Would one of our Dutch-speaking members kindly translate?

foreign bankers association. maxima attended a 15 year anniversary (?) the 31st october.

 

[sgl]

Thank you, Carlota! Is this something that Maxima attends each year?

 

[lucien]

no,they didn't have a 15th anniversary last year.

 

[sneeuwklokje]

Lol, no that would have been their 14th!!

 

[marmi]

I daresay that the anniversary was the point sgl was questioning, not the number...

Was this one recognised because its more of a significant number?

Thank you, Marmi! I was fairly certain that the 15th anniversary was not a yearly occasion. I was actually wondering if Maxima attends functions for this organization every year.
