The skirt in this floral ensemble is too frilly. It reminds me of the early 90s.

For once I like the hat, but the frilly outfit is a negative. She should wear something more structured and with better lines for her body type. The nice skirt/jacket combos she wears look very professional and sleek - QB should just stick with those.

Does anyone know how long this tour will last? Is the Queen back in the Netherlands yet?

Does anybody know will Her Majesty make any more Jubilee Visit outside of The Netherlands again?
Anyway,Her Majesty looks really relax and happy during this visit.I really like the laugh of Her Majesty at the Closing of Dutch Commonwealth Games,it's really warm.

Yes, HMQueenElizabethII, she does have a wonderful laugh in those pictures at the games. It does look like she is enjoying her visit.

Sorry for going back in time, but this is too funny ...

I was looking for pictures on Beatrix's trip last week to Curacao and my search query on ANP brought up these pictures. I had heard of the incident, but never seen pictures.

I guess the story is that on a previous visit to Curacao (1999?), the Queen was standing close to the water's edge during a storm, when she was hit by a rogue wave. She of course got a soaking! I heard she was a good sport about the whole incident and carried on as normal. It is funny to see her without her usual puffy do!
