Yes, it certainly looks new to me. I like it a lot!

I think it's stunning. Really nice. I love the last picture!

Lovely hat indeed, though less extravagant then I am used to on her. HM doesn´t wear black to often but it looks nice on her.
She seems to be in a very good mood, which is not surprising at it is ´her´ fund (the Princess Beatrix foundation).

It's so nice to see Beatrix out & about again this past week.
She is looking very relaxed and radiant these days. Her holidays must have agreed with her.

Thanks for the pictures everyone.

Is there an e-mail address for sending a message to the Queen?

Adry · #**110** 08-30-2006, 09:04 PM

I think there is no e-mail address for writing directly to the Queen. In the official website of the Royal House is the real address if you want to send a letter or message to any member..and is as follow

Noordeinde Palace
[Name of Royal House member]
Postbus 30412
2500 GK Den Haag
The Netherlands

Hope it helps

Thank you, Adry. I was curious if the household had a known e-mail address or not....guess not.

Very funny expression on her face!

LOL. That's a brilliant pic of Queen Beatrix. It just shows what an individual she is.

Their Royal Highnesses Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, The Prince and Princess of Orange

Has it been an official banquet?
Are there any pictures?
Or has it been a private pictures between the Royal familys?

For so far I know, there have no pictures been released (yet).
But I expect we will see it in a few days.

**Marengo** · #**118** 08-31-2006, 04:06 PM

Wouldn't HM consider it a private dinner with friends? She is rather strict about these things (her hiding from the belgian cameras during the weddingreception of Phillipe and Mathilde comes to mind).

JohnRaven · #**119** 09-01-2006, 12:07 AM

I agree. This should be considered a private event as was the whole visit by the Crown Princely Couple of Japan.

The ´congres´ of the Princess Beatrix Foundation was televised and it appeared to be a fund reasing programme. The fund tries to help children with diseases related to their muscles and also tries to help research in this field. The foundation has been very active the last month to raise money. My own gym for example will start an RPM marathon to raise money, but their are a number of initiatives. Of course the most important way to raise money are the ´collectants´ who go from door to door to ask for money.
HM was seated with the public and seemed intruiged by the stories some children had to tell. Later she awarded two scientists (who did research) a prize. She seemed a bit shy when at the start of the programme the public aplauded her.
