Thank you for the explanation, Marengo. I had suspected that Maxima was Catholic because she's Argentinian but I wasn't sure about the rest of the Dutch Family.

Maybe because Prince Floris no more member of the Royal family.
I am not sure.

I think it was more a matter of logistics. When the wedding was over it was already lunchtime, to travel one hour to Apeldoorn would take to long, so they had dinner in that restaurant (one of the best of the country). As said, Pieter-Christiaan and Johan-Friso both used Palace Noordeinde after their wedding and the party for Floris was held in Palace het Loo. Furthermore I think it was a court-coordinated decission not to ask for permission, most probably suggested by the queen herself (or her staff) as she is afraid of a to large & uncontrolable family.

--

At queensday this year Friso, Mabl, Irene and Christina accompagnied the Queen as well, as Christina and Irene never do this I assume it was because of the jubilee thing (in the evening even Margarita attended the concert). It will be interesting to see what will happen next year. Irene and Cristina won't be there, Johan-Friso probably doesn't mind to stay away either (he always looks like thunder when he attends). Furthermore there were some problems 2 years ago when the party got back on sheduele becaue the group was so large and participating/talking everywhere, scattered over the route. So I assume only the adult members of the Royal House will attend (although gossip magazines will start questions about Catharina-Amalia).

I think your are maybe right (Marengo)
And the Queen like disciplin and order in her family,and very strict.:)
I have work at Royal Palace Amsterdam in 1992-1995 and
every year they have some exhibition, than is the Palace open for public.

Thank you everyone for responding to my question about why the couple chose to go to a restaurant right after their wedding, rather than the palace.

And thanks Ropura for more wonderful pictures.:)

Emily · #**448** 10-26-2005, 12:29 PM

Ropura - you must have been frozen to ice by the end of the luncheon at Fagel's!! Thank you for the photos though. One (more) question: did Aimee and Floris take the helicopter to Het Loo or did they drive in the vintage car? Also, misshelen, the photo of Annette kissing her little daughter is precious!

ropura · #**449** 10-26-2005, 04:55 PM

Emily- They go with the vintage car to Het-Loo Palace.
Its take longer time with this car to the Palace.
The helicopter is for security,circle round above the city of Naarden.

according to the newpaper de telegraaf of this morning they are on mauritius for their honeymoon, there are also 2 pictures of them on the beach.
(wild guess of mine, they are staying at le saint geran)

Squidgy · #**459** 10-29-2005, 01:44 PM

I can't believe De Telegraaf put those pictures right on their front page! I guess Floris & Aimee's private honeymoon is obviously not going to be so private.:(

Emily · #**460** 10-29-2005, 02:17 PM

....OK, so while I believe in privacy since De Telegraaf has posted the photos can anyone post them here?
