Her Majesty looks good.
I can't help but notice that since the accident of Prince Friso Her Majesty often chooses for mourning colours. Also in this beautiful dress you can see black and purple accents. I think she dresses how she feels but also symbolically tries to give her people a message.

 

[COUNTESS]

I am a great admirer of the queen, but her taste in clothes is another matter. I do not think there is any message in this or any other outfit she has worn.

 

[emmalisa]

She has something on her upper lip, that looks like a painful wound? Has she been in an accident?

She has something on her upper lip, that looks like a painful wound? Has she been in an accident?

It has been confirmed by the Government Information Service (RVD) that she has had a little accident at home last weekend and has injured her lip.

Today Queen Beatrix handed out the annual prize for the ´vrije schilderkunst´ ...now try to translate that. Free painting art is the literal translation.

Koningin reikt prijzen uit voor 'crisiskunst' | nu.nl/binnenland | Het laatste nieuws het eerst op nu.nl

She handed out the prize in Dam palace, Amsterdam.

The prize was started in 1871 by king Willem III.

I remember we've had those translation problems concerning the Schilderkunst before in previous years

[Marengo]

It was the first time that the ceremony was broadcasted. According to the press the Queen was against it. The ceremony started 10 minutes before scheduele and the public channel was still broadcasting commercials. For this reason the ceremony had to be performed again. The Queen was surprised and was overheard saying that it became a 'theatre play'.

[NGalitzine]

Why would they start the ceremony 10 minutes ahead of schedule, especially when they knew it was to be broadcast for the first time? I could understand if it had started a couple of minutes late, but early is very odd.
